The client and servers acting as clients can be configured so connection requests are directed to a specific process at all times.
To route connection requests:
| Always Use Dedicated Server:
| Forces the listener to spawn a dedicated server for all network sessions from
this client. Server in this sense does not refer to a machine, but to the
process on the database side that handles client requests. Server processes can
either be shared with other client requests or dedicated. Dedicated server
processes are committed to one session only and exist for the duration of that
session.
Note: If enabled, this option will override the Use Dedicated Servers option in the Net Service Name panel. Using this option will make your connection faster, but will make the server slower. It is recommended that unless you are making massive database transactions with very little idle time, do not use this option.

| Prefer Connection Manager Routing: | Instructs the client to try to use an Oracle Connection Manager whenever
possible. Oracle Connection Manager is an application that provides support for
concentration, multiple protocol support, and Net8 access control functionality.
Addresses that resolve to an Oracle Connection Manager are specially marked in the network configuration for the client. If this option is chosen, these addresses will be used and preferred over other addresses for a net service name.
