The DISPLAY SESSION command displays information for a specified session.

Syntax

{ DISPLAY | DI } { SESSION | SE }
  [ LONG | LON ] { ses_list | { USER | US } user_name }

Syntax Elements

LONG
LON
Displays additional detailed information for the specified sessions.
For backward compatibility, LONG is also valid after ses_lst, but it is only valid before USER.
ses_lst
One or more session numbers indicating the sessions for which information is to be displayed.
Multiple sessions can be specified as:
  • a range of contiguous session numbers, represented by the lowest and highest session in the range separated by a hyphen: nnnn-nnnn

    Multiple ranges can be separated by commas: nnnn-nnnn,nnnn-nnnn

  • A list of discontiguous session numbers separated by commas: nnnn,nnnn,nnnn
  • Any combination of ranges and lists of session numbers: nnnn-nnnn,nnnn,nnnn
where nnnn is a session number in decimal format. To list currently connected sessions and see possible values for nnnn, use the DISPLAY GTW command.
user_name
The name of the user account for which you want to display session information.

Usage Notes

  • Before using the DISPLAY SESSION command, you must select the host group from which the session is running using the SELECT HOST command. For information, see SELECT HOST.
  • By default, the Teradata system displays the short-form report containing the following information:
    • User Name
    • IP address
    • TCP socket number
    • State
    • Event
    • Action
    • Partition
    • Authentication method
    • Client Security Policy
    • Proxy Security Policy
    • Recoverable Network Protocol
  • The Authentication field has the values shown in the following table:
    The value... Indicates...
    Database that the database provided the authentication method.
    This was the normal logon method before the implementation of single sign on.
    TDGSS-returned method an authentication method returned by the Teradata Generic Security Service (TDGSS).

    For more information on TDGSS, see Teradata Vantageā„¢ - Advanced SQL Engine Security Administration, B035-1100.

  • The long-form report gives a detailed connect display for a selected session. It includes all of the information displayed by the default short format, and adds the following information:
    • The Account associated with the User Name, if any.
    • Teradata system mailbox information.
    • I/O statistics for the session.
    • The authentication negotiating mechanism used, if any.

    The long-form report is useful for field service personnel when diagnosing gateway problems.

  • For information on the descriptions of the valid states, events, and actions for the DISPLAY SESSION command, see Session States, Events, and Actions.
  • To display a session, do the following:

    1. To select a host group (for example, host group 52), type:

      se host 52

      The Teradata system displays the following:

      52>

    2. To display a session (for example, session 1040), type:

      di se 1040

Example: Displaying session information

To display session 1040 in the default (or short) form, type:

> di se 1040

gtwglobal displays the following output:

Session 1040 connected to GTW 8193 is assigned to PE 16383
