Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> killed shared server sessions (mts) not getting killed
Killing a shared servers session using: alter system kill session
'&1,&2' immediate;
However, the session does not kill if active. If inactive, and issue
this command then the killed session gets a 3113 error on next command.
However, if session is active then it does not get killed. Status in
v$session remains as active.
I ended up killing the session by using orakill <db> <thread id>. This kills the shared server process which is then restarted. Is this what must be done if the session is in an active status?
