In a Dedicated server mode, listener spawns a dedicated server process for each user process where as in shared server mode, listener assigns a dispatcher to each user process from the available list of dispatchers it maintains, the most idle dispatcher gets to action the user request. Dispatcher then puts user's request in a queue which is picked up by shared server processes configured for this mode. Upon executing the user's request, shared server process places these responses in a response queue assigned to the dispatcher. Dispatcher then picks up these responses from the response queue to be sent over to the user.

Dedeicated server: For one user one server processses

Shared server: Where multiple user and one server process. In shared server whenever user request, server hands over the request to dispatcher and dispatcher places them in common request que. Any idle server process picks this request and process and places the result in common que.
