Oracle sessions

Post by tkozlows »

Hi Everybody,

Please consider the following scenario. A DataStage job creates an Oracle session to perform whatever tasks it is designed to perform. The same job completes successfully. The Oracle session created by this job becomes inactive and precisely 2 hours later is closed, i.e. no longer appears in the v$session view in Oracle.

Is there a setting to shorten the time between when the DS job completes and the corresponding Oracle session is closed? Is such setting controlled within DS or Oracle?

PS. This is NOT an urgent request but any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

If there is such a setting it's more likely to be in Oracle than in DataStage. I'm not aware of anything in DataStage (unless you can send something like a DROP SESSION command* after your final Oracle stage).

* I'm not an Oracle expert - the command may be CLOSE SESSION or something else (HALT AND CATCH FIRE?).
