Connection delays causing problems.


The problem: ORACLE connections sometimes take tens of seconds to come
up. This is true whether the connection is via sqlplus, ACCELL
application program, or thru JAVA web application program.

Environment:
Clients and servers running LINUX 2.4.21
Over 150 clients running ACCELL applications.
A similar number connect via the web

ORACLE Clients:
SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Mon Jul 17 13:34:00 2006

Web clients come thru JBOSS
Release ID: JBoss [WonderLand] 3.2.3 (build: CVSTag=JBoss_3_2_3
date=200311301445)

Connected to:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options

The server database has just been upgraded to release 10.2 from 10.1
but from what we can tell, this problem also occurred on connecting to
the 10.1 release.

The delay happens at connection time so no SQL query is involved. I can
tune SQL, but I have no idea what oracle settings might help or hurt
the login time. The way our ACCELL applications are written, they
make many short connections to our centralized Oracle DB. Typical
queries are simple lookups in reference tables. Most of the
application data is held in a local Database at the sites. (I just
found out that tnsping also shows the delay.) Our DBA is doing a search
in ORACLE, but I thought I'd try to get some insights from this group.

So any suggestions of where to look or any outright solutions are
welcome.

Thanks,
Ed

here's a sample ping:

Ten seconds is way too long.
