B.1.67 WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS
Description This environment variable specifies the number of connections to a
remote server for which NETINIT7 should reserve memory.
Valid Values 0 - 33
Default Not defined.
Usage Notes
■ If you receive an error in the ORA-3100 to ORA-3199 range when you try to log
on, there may not be enough real-mode memory to establish a communication
buffer with an Oracle server. NETINIT7.EXE solves this problem by reserving
memory for server connections.
■ If you set WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS to 0, NETINIT7 will not reserve any memory
for remote server connections.
■ Setting WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS to the values 1 through 33 will reserve memory
for the specified number of connections. Note that NETINIT7 reserves 12K of
real-mode memory for each remote server connection.
■ A suggested default value for WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS is 5. Setting WIN_
REMOTE_SESSIONS to 5 should create enough sessions to allow you to run
several products.
■ If you do not add the WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS parameter, NETINIT7 will reserve
memory for one remote server connection.
Configuring a Remote Session
To use NETINIT7:
1. Configure the number of sessions by adding the WIN_REMOTE_SESSIONS
parameter.
2. Create the NETINIT7 icon in your Oracle program group. (For more information
about creating icons, see your Microsoft Windows documentation.) Enter the
following path in the Command Line field of the Windows Program Item
Properties dialog box:
%ORACLE_HOME%\bin\netinit7.exe
3. Start NETINIT7 by double-clicking the icon in the Oracle program group. Make
sure that you start NETINIT7 before you start a product. If you want NETINIT7 to
run automatically at Windows startup, include the NETINIT7 icon in the
Windows Startup program group.
NETINIT7 attempts to reserve real memory for the configured number of server
connections. If NETINIT7 cannot allocate the required memory, it displays a
warning message and indicates the actual number of sessions for which it has
allocated memory.
After allocating memory, NETINIT7 minimizes itself. Restoring NETINIT7
displays the total number of sessions configured and the total amount of memory
used. Closing NETINIT7 releases all unused session memory. If an application is
