Usage Notes - MonitorMySessions

The following CPU fields in the MonitorMySessions response are affected by the MonSesCPUNormalization field:

  • AMPCPUSec
  • AvgAmpCPUSec
  • HotAmp1CPU
  • HotAmp2CPU
  • HotAmp3CPU
  • LowAmp1CPU
  • LowAmp2CPU
  • LowAmp3CPU
  • PECPUSec
  • RequestAmpCPU

The MonSesCPUNormalization field, a DBS Control General Record field, controls whether normalized or non-normalized statistical CPU data is reported by the functions: MonitorMySessions and MonitorSession, and by the MONITOR SESSION request. For more information about the MonSesCPUNormalization field and CPU normalization, see the DBS Control utility in Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities , B035-1102 .

For a complete description of these fields, see the topic that follows.

You can also refer to MonitorSession and MONITOR SESSION for a list of these CPU fields.

A Trusted Session enables a middle-tier application to switch the user on an already active database session to another user (proxy user). Once the user is switched, all subsequent requests uses the privileges and session attributes of the proxy user. MonitorMySessions returns the logon user name and ID in the UserName and UserId fields and the proxy user name and ID in the ProxyUserName and ProxyUserId fields.

When connected as a permanent proxy user, MonitorMySessions returns all information on sessions directly logged on as the permanent proxy user. It does not return the current session or any other proxy user sessions for the permanent proxy user.

Result Rows

Column Name Description
HostId Logical Host ID associated with a PE or session.

For a PE, HostId identifies one of the hosts or LANs associated with the described PE.

For a session, the combination of a host ID and a session number uniquely identifies a user session on the system.

This value is NULL for AMPs. A value of zero represents the Supervisor window.
SessionNo Number of the current session. Together with a given host ID, a session number uniquely identifies a session on the database system. This value is assigned by the host (or client) at logon time.
LogonPENo Vproc number of the PE the session is currently logged on to; it identifies the PE that has control responsibility for the session. Normally, this is the PE that processed the logon request; but if that PE goes offline, it will be the PE to which the session was switched.
RunVprocNo Vproc number of the AMP or PE currently assigned to process the session requests.

For sessions in Teradata SQL partitions, this value is identical to the LogonPENo. For sessions in FastLoad or MultiLoad partitions, this is the AMP that initially processes the data being loaded. For HUTPARSE or HUTCTL (archive/recovery) sessions, this value is NULL.

If a RunVprocNo value of -1 in record mode or NULL in indicator mode is returned by MonitorMySessions for FastLoad, MultiLoad or FastExport sessions, this indicates that the session is in the process of starting up.

PartName Name of the session partition associated with this session. Following a successful logon request by a session or as part of a connect request, the session identifies the partition with which the user wants the session to be associated. FASTLOAD, Teradata SQL, MONITOR, INTERNAL are examples of valid partition names.
PEstate Current state of the session within the PE. See the MONITOR SESSION PEState field for a list of the PEState values.
LogonTime Date and time portion of the information recorded by Session Control when a session successfully logs on. It is usually formatted for display as yyyy/mm/dd 99:99:99.99, which represents the year, month, day, hours: minutes: seconds.
UserId User or internal ID of a user for this session. Within the database, UserId is equivalent to Database ID. Typically, UserId is used when the associated record is known to be a user name, and Database ID is used when the associated record is known to be a database. However, UserId can identify either a given user or database name.
LSN Logon Sequence Number (LSN) that is associated with a session when the session logs on. It identifies a collection of sessions performing a related activity. For example, in a FastLoad job, a user is logged on as a Teradata SQL session, as well as n FastLoad sessions with the same user name. Therefore, n+1 sessions (1 Teradata SQL and n FastLoad) with the same LSN are all associated with the given FastLoad job. To see how the FastLoad job is doing, the user can pick out all sessions reported with the same LSN number.
This information supplies the parent-child relationship for sessions involved with FastLoad, MultiLoad, and Archive/Recovery jobs.
UserName User name of the session.
UserAccount Current account for the session.
PECPUsec CPU time (in seconds) used in a PE by the associated session for parsing and dispatching requests. It is accurate to the second.

This value is valid only when associated with Teradata SQL and MONITOR partition sessions.

This value is NULL when it is returned for all other sessions.

XActCount Number of explicit and implicit transactions executed by the session.

This value is valid only when returned for Teradata SQL sessions, and is NULL for all other partition sessions. For this value, you must make a request for data before completion of the first collection period that follows either a system outage or a change in the ResMonitor rate.

ReqCount Number of requests (Tequel Start Request [TSR] messages) initiated by the session.

This value is NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or change in the ResMonitor rate.

ReqCacheHits Number of times that this session processed a request using information from the Teradata SQL Parser request cache, specifically, how many times there was a request cache hit.

This value is valid only for Teradata SQL sessions, and is NULL for all other partition sessions. This value is also NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the ResMonitor rate.

AMPState Current state of the associated session in AMP vprocs in decreasing priority:
  • ABORTING: The transaction is being rolled back; session is aborting.
  • BLOCKED: Some background activity is in progress and the last request is on hold until this background activity is completed.
  • ACTIVE: Normal, on-going activity is being done by this session.
  • IDLE: No work in progress for this session on any AMP.
  • UNKNOWN: No recorded activity by this session since monitoring began.

This value is NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.

AMPCPUSec Current elapsed CPU time, in seconds, used on all AMPs by the associated session for executing requests. For example, for Teradata SQL requests, this is the time spent by the database actively working or rolling back an aborted transaction. This does not include any PDE CPU time spent handling database requests.

This value is NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the ResMonitor rate.

AMPIO Current number of logical Reads and Writes issued across all AMPs by the associated session.

This value is NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the ResMonitor rate.

ReqSpool Current spool used by current request across all AMPs, expressed as a number of bytes.

This value is NULL when a request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the ResMonitor rate.

Blk1HostId,

Blk2HostId,

Blk3HostId

Logical host ID of a session causing a block. This value is derived from equating the transactions causing a database lock conflict to the sessions that issued those transactions. The Blk_x_HostId in combination with Blk_x_SessNo uniquely identifies the session that is causing a block.

A valid value is not returned if an inactive Archive/Recovery job is causing the lock conflict, because no session is logged in.

This value is NULL if:
  • The host ID is not available.
  • The session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.

If the Blk_x_HostId, Blk_x_SessNo, and Blk_x_UserID values all return as NULLs and AMPState is BLOCKED, a Host Utility (HUT) lock left over after the session holding the lock was aborted or logged off. The lock was never released, and no blocking information is available because the session no longer exists.

Use the Show Locks utility to obtain the user name that placed the HUT lock. For more information, see Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities , B035-1102 .

Blk1SessNo,

Blk2SessNo,

Blk3SessNo

Number of the session causing a block. This value is derived from associating the transactions causing a lock conflict to the sessions that issued those transactions. The Blk_x_SessNo in combination with Blk_x_HostId uniquely identifies the session causing a block.

This information is unavailable if an inactive Archive/Recovery job is causing the lock conflict.

This value is NULL if:
  • SessNo is not available.
  • Session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.

If the Blk_x_HostId, Blk_x_SessNo, and Blk_x_UserID values all return as NULLs and AMPState is BLOCKED, a host utility lock left over after the session holding the lock was aborted or logged off. The lock was never released, and no blocking information is available because the session no longer exists.

Use the Show Locks utility to obtain the user name that placed the HUT lock. For more information, see Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities , B035-1102 .

Blk1UserId,

Blk2UserId,

Blk3UserId

ID of the user or host utility job preventing the session from being granted a lock. This information is especially important when an Archive/Recovery job is holding the lock, because the user ID is the only information available about who placed the lock.
This value is NULL if:
  • Session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.

If the Blk_x_HostId, Blk_x_SessNo, and Blk_x_UserID values all return as NULLs and AMPState is BLOCKED, a host utility lock left over after the session holding the lock was aborted or logged off. The lock was never released, and no blocking information is available because the session no longer exists.

Use the Show Locks utility to obtain the user name that placed the HUT lock. For more information, see Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities , B035-1102 .

Blk1Lmode,

Blk2Lmode,

Blk3Lmode

Mode (severity) of the lock involved in causing a block:
  • E = Exclusive
  • W = Write
  • R = Read
  • A = Access

Locks are reported in decreasing order of severity because removing the most severe lock conflict may eliminate the source of the lock conflict.

This value is NULL if:
  • The session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.
A session may be blocked by either a granted lock or an ungranted lock that precedes the blocked lock in the queue and is in conflict with the lock requested by this blocked session. For information on whether the lock is granted, see the MONITOR SESSSION fields: Blk1Status, Blk2Status, and Blk3Status.
Blk1Otype,

Blk2Otype,

Blk3Otype

Type of object whose lock is causing the session described by the associated row to be blocked:
  • D = Database
  • T= Table
  • R = Row hash
  • TP = Table Partition range
  • RP = RowHash in Partition range
  • RK = RowHash in one partition
  • RN = RowKey range

However, this object is not necessarily the type of object the blocked session is trying to access. For example, if the session is requesting a row hash lock, the blocking object could be a database, table, or row hash.

This value is NULL if:
  • Session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.

For a Table T, it is possible for User A to block User B with a table level lock on Table T on AMP_1 and with a Row Hash Level lock on that same Table T on AMP_2. When that occurs, the only lock conflict reported is that User B is blocked by User A on a table.

Blk1ObjDBID,

Blk2ObjDBID,

Blk3ObjDBID

Unique ID of the database object over which a lock conflict is preventing the session from being granted a lock.

Within the database system, Database ID is equivalent to User ID. Typically, User ID is used when the associated record is known to be a user name, and Database ID is used when the associated record is known to be a database. However, Database ID can identify either a user or database name.

This value is NULL if:
  • The session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.
Blk1ObjTID,

Blk2ObjTID,

Blk3ObjTID

Unique ID of the table object over which a lock conflict is preventing the session from being granted a lock.
This value is NULL if:
  • The session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • The Blk_x_OType is D.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.
Blk1Status,

Blk2Status,

Blk3Status

Status of lock causing a block:
  • W= Waiting
  • G = Granted
This value is NULL if:
  • Session does not have an AMPState of BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.
A lock request may be blocked by either a granted lock or an ungranted lock that precedes the blocked lock request in the queue and is in conflict with it.

A status of Waiting has a higher priority than that of Granted when there is more than one lock involved. For example, for a given object and a given session, a session that is blocked by a Waiting lock on one AMP and a Granted lock on another AMP has Waiting reported as its status.

MoreBlockers Indicator of more lock conflicts:
  • Blank = Blk x information is a complete list of sessions blocking the session described.
  • Asterisk (*) = Additional sessions are blocking the session described.
This value is NULL if:
  • The state of the session is not BLOCKED.
  • A request for data is made before completion of the first collection period following either a system outage or a change in the SesMonitorLoc or SesMonitorSys rate.
LogonSource Logon source information. At logon time, this information is optionally supplied by the Teradata Director Program or the Gateway to further identify the physical or logical location of the session, the logon user name, and the interface under which the session was initiated. (For example, the data string may include DBC as the user ID and BTEQ as the interface.)
A two-byte value precedes the LogonSource data to indicate the length of the string. The length value is zero if LogonSource is NULL.

For a list of the commonly seen LogonSource string application names, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Detailed Topics , B035-1184 .

ReqHotAmpSpool Spool value of the highest spool utilized AMP during the life of the current request on the session.

This value is NULL if no request is running on the session.

ReqHotAmpSpoolId Vproc ID of the highest spool utilized AMP for the current request.

This value is NULL if no request is running on the session.

ReqMapNo Map number for the largest map the request is using.
ReqMaxNumMapAMPs Number of AMPs in the largest contiguous map used by the request.
ReqMinNumMapAMPs Number of AMPs in the smallest contiguous map used by the request.
ReqSysDefNumMapAMPs Number of AMPs in the system-default map used by the request.
ReqRemoteHostIp Host IP address of the remote system.
ReqServerName Name of the foreign server.
ReqFlexReleased The TDWM Flex Throttle feature detects available system resources, overrides existing workload throttle limits and automatically releases queries from the delay queue. This minimizes the DBA manually managing the TASM delay queue. Note, only Workload throttles are overridden; all System level throttles are still honored.
Return values:
  • 0: Indicates that the request was not released by TDWM Flex Throttles.
  • 1: Indicates that the request was released by TDWM Flex Throttles.

Example: Using MonitorMySessions

select * from table (monitormysessions()) as t1;

 *** Query completed. 2 rows found. 116 columns returned.
 *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.
