Re: USE_SHARED_SOCKET on 8.1.5 & 8.1.6

I got use_shared_socket to work and verified that connections are staying on port 1521 by viewing the client trace log. Surprisingly, on Oracle 8.1.5 & 8.1.6 stopping the listener does not kill connected sessions. On pre 8i releases, stopping the listener would terminate connections.

You can do this if you like,

BUT shutting down the listener clears the port and ALL CONNECTIONS that are maintained through it.

I'm trying to activate port sharing under Win NT 4.0 SP 5. I've set the USE_SHARED_SOCKET to TRUE in Control Panel, System environment. Connected to database from a client. Stopped the listener on the server. But my client connection didn't terminate. I think my connection should have terminated. My understanding of how this works is by setting USE_SHARED_SOCKET to TRUE this allows the OS to share port 1521 and the clients will then stay on 1521 when connecting to the database and will not be port redirected.

Has anyone been successful at implementing port sharing using USE_SHARED_SOCKET on 8.1.5 and/or 8.1.6?

Thanks Maria
