    How to convert MTS to dedicated db

    Hi,

    I would like to move a production db running on Oracle9i from MTS to dedicated since
    1. Hit with an Oracle Bug and as per oracle support
    2. No. of user session is only around 30+ anytime

    This is what I did:

    sql> alter system set dispatchers='' scope = both;
    ORA-2065 alter system not allowed.
    sql> alter system set shared_servers =0;
    system altered

    My understanding is if you set the shared_servers = 0 should disable MTS. But it did not happen. Also, Oracle documentation states to use the above commands and I still get the error.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    I'm no expert on this, but what about changing the listener config?

    Thanks. In the meantime, I was playing in my test server and here is what I found.

    As per oracle support, you can identify if MTS is down by checking v$dispatcher and v$shared_server and both should return no rows.

    Here is what I did.

    alter system set dispatcher='(PROTOCOL=TCP)(DISPATCHERS=0)' scope= both;
    System altered (I was really surprised since eventhough it
    looks elementary, the docs were wrong).
    Alter system set shared_servers = 0;
    system altered

    select * from v$dispatcher;
    no rows returned
    select * from v$shared_server;
    initially returned rows and later if you try again a few time, it also says "no rows returned".

    To test whether it takes dedicated connection only,
    disconnected from sql, connected to sql
    select osuser,username, server from v$session
    where username is not null;
    SYS DEDICATED
    SYSTEM DEDICATED

    Thanks for taking your time to offer tips.

    Much appreciated.
