EnumDistributionAgentSessions2 Method

SQL Server 2005

This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.

The EnumDistributionAgentSessions2 method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates execution status information for a specified Distribution Agent.

Syntax

object.EnumDistributionAgentSessions2(AgentName,SessionType, SessionDurationB,lEstimatedNumRecords)as QueryResults

Parts

object: Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.
AgentName: String that identifies a Distribution Agent by name.
SessionType: Long integer that indicates session type as described in Settings.
SessionDuration: Long integer that specifies a number of hours. Restricts result set membership to those sessions started within the number of hours specified. Use 0 to specify no restriction on agent session start time.
lEstimatedNumRecords: Long integer that specifies the estimated number of QueryResults rows to return.

Prototype (C/C++)

HRESULT EnumDistributionAgentSessions2(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR AgentName,
SQLDMO_SESSION_TYPE SessionType,
long SessionDuration,
long lEstimatedNumRecords,
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS* ppResults);

Settings

Set SessionType using these values.

Constant	Value	Description
SQLDMOSession_All	1	Output contains log information for all agent sessions.
SQLDMOSession_Errors	2	Output contains log information only for those execution attempts ending in error.

Returns

A QueryResults object that contains one result set defined by these columns.

Column	Data type	Description
reserved	integer	Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed.. Returns 0 always.
action_count	integer	Number of session history records.
average_commands	integer	Average number of commands per transaction delivered in the session.
comments	nvarchar(256)	Descriptive text.
delivered_commands	integer	Cumulative number of commands delivered in the session.
delivered_/transactions	integer	Cumulative number of transactions delivered in the session.
delivery_latency	integer	Latency, in milliseconds, between the transaction entering the distribution database and applied to the Subscriber.
delivery_rate	float	Average number of commands delivered per second.
duration	integer	Elapsed time of the session in seconds.
error_id	integer	When nonzero, Microsoft SQL Server error message number.
runstatus	integer	Executing state. Interpret using SQLDMO_TASKSTATUS_TYPE.
start_time	nvarchar(26)	Date and time of last scheduled execution.
time	nvarchar(26)	Date and time of message logging.

Remarks

In the result set, date and time data returned in start_time and timeis formatted as YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss.fff.

Date part	Description
YYYY	Represents the year in four digits.
MM	Represents the month in two digits (zero padded).
DD	Represents the day of the month in two digits (zero padded).
hh	Represents the hour using two digits, a twenty-four hour clock (zero padded).
mm	Represents the minute in two digits (zero padded).
ss	Represents the second in two digits (zero padded).
fff	Represents the fractional part of the second in three digits.

For example, the value 20040512 18:12:00.000 is interpreted as 6:12 P.M., May 12, 2004.

The EnumDistributionAgentSessions2 method differs from the EnumDistributionAgentSessions method by including the lEstimatedNumRecords parameter, which allows an application to pass an estimated number of QueryResults rows. This allows the application to avoid the performance overhead associated with repeatedly allocating and freeing memory.
