Analytical Ecosystem

When a query is blocked, use the Blocked By tab to identify the other queries blocking the selected query. By reviewing the number and type of queries blocking the selected query, you can identify blocking issues on the system, determine the impact of this blocking on the selected query and, based on this information, decide the best course of action to resolve the issue.

The information in this tab is read-only. The tab is available only when the selected query is blocked. You can drill down into the session information for the blocking session.

The following information is available in the noted versions of Analytics Database.
