OCISessionBegin hangs

[zedmartins]

Hello there!

We have here a application that uses ODAC components inside COM+ dlls to connect to Oracle Server 11g.

Lately we are facing a problem that we cannot find the solution.

For some reason, when the concurrency of the application server at some of our clients is too high, some dlls starts to hang and they have to kill the process to restore the usability of our product. Trying to reproduce the error here at our office, we created a test environment to stress an application server. We start 30-50 programs that make calls to application and after some time the problem appears.

Debugging our DLL after the server hangs, shows that any subsequent call to OCISessionBegin cannot complete. No error is generated. No other symptoms are visible.

The last line that the we try to execute is: Check(OCISessionBegin(...)); on OraClasses.pas

We checked the database no contention, no lock.

We are using ODAC 6 on our clients, but we upgraded it to the last version and the problem persists. We have to use the Oracle Client 10 to connect to the database 11g because the are using the version 6 of ODAC.

Can anyone help us?
