Hello

The following link states
Quote:

SESSIONS_PER_USER
Each instance maintains its own SESSIONS_PER_USER count. If SESSIONS_PER_USER is set to 1 for a user, the user can log on to the database more than once as long as each connection is from a different instance.


http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/rac.102/b14197/dbinstmgt.htm

Of course the following is not working even when resource_limit is TRUE
ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT SESSIONS_PER_USER 2;


How can I restrict a user to have limited sessions say 2 sessions across 4 node cluster?

Could please suggest this for both Dedicated Connections as well as Shared Server Connections in RAC?

Presently I am checking the sessions logged in using sql+ and no connection pooling of front end etc. is involved

Thanks and Regards,
OraKaran

No other way than to poll gv$session and kill unwanted sessions.

Sirs,

as what i understand from the above statement is
when I set SESSIONS_PER_USER=5, I can use 10 connections
in RAC with 2 nodes.

If ever 1 node is down, how many sessions can I still use?

Many thanks.
