For dedicated server sessions, the server processes will not use shared memory. Dispatchers dont handle the work of users requests; they only interface between user processes and queues. All dispatchers will dynamically register with all listeners, automatically, if they are running on port 1521.
PGA memory is always outside the system global area.
Dispatchers share a common response queue. Dispatchers can register with only one listener; otherwise, load balancing would not be possible.
Yes, but only for the OLTP work.
Yes, if the batch and DSS users come though a different dispatcher from the OLTP users.
Overall memory demand should decrease because the number of server processes will be reduced when using the shared server option.
Overall memory demand should decrease if you change to shared server, because you can reduce the size of the SGA.
