Table 9.1 Oracle 10g Replacement Parameters

In the case of the dispatchers parameter, the results of the change will depend on which attributes you modify. Since several of the attributes affect the network session layer when a dispatcher is started, they cannot be changed for dispatchers already started. These attributes are: protocol, address, description, presentation, connections, sessions, ticks, and multiplex.

You can dynamically modify the other attributes (listener and service) and affect existing as well as new dispatchers of the same configuration.

There is a new view, v$dispatcher_config, that shows more information about existing dispatchers. This view displays information about the dispatcher configurations, including attributes that were not specified and were given a default value. The column CONF_INDX in v$dispatcher_config can be joined to the conf_indx column in"v$dispatcher to see all of the detailed information about a given dispatcher. This information helps you to make more informed decisions on what attributes to modify and helps determine if you need to add or remove dispatchers.

For example, to get service and other details about dispatchers, use the following query:

SQL> select name, dispatchers, substr(service,1,20) service, idle, busy
