    Question

    Hello;
    Oracle 8.1.7.3.50-Z/OS

    We have Jobs awaking every 30 seconds; and creating a session. IS ist possible to have only one session without creating always a new one?
    ( Perfomance issue )

    The simple answer is no. Each job will always spawn a new session. If you absolutely must work in the same session you can simulate this using some code. Basically what you need to do is use a queue:

    http://www.oracle-base.com/Articles/...dQueuing9i.asp

    If your job puts a request onto a queue it can be read from a single session by some code that does something like:

    LOOP
    -- 1) Read from queue with unlimited timeout. This means it will wait forever for a message to appear on the queue.
    -- 2) Do some processing based on contents of the message on the queue.
    END LOOP;

    It's not ideal but it would solve your problem.

    Cheers
