EnumLogReaderAgentSessions2 Method

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 EnumLogReaderAgentSessions2method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates execution status data for the Log Reader Agent specified.

Syntax

object.EnumLogReaderAgentSessions2(AgentName,SessionType, SessionDuration,lEstimatedNumRecords)as QueryResults

Parts

  • object
    Expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list.

  • AgentName
    String that identifies a Log Reader 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 launched 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 EnumLogReaderAgentSessions2(
SQLDMO_LPCSTR AgentName,
SQLDMO_SESSION_TYPE SessionType,
long SessionDuration,
long lEstimatedNumRecords,
LPSQLDMOQUERYRESULTS* ppResults);

Settings

The EnumLogReadAgentSessions2 method differs from the EnumLogReaderAgentSessions method by including the lEstimatedNumRecords parameter, which allows the application to pass an estimated number of QueryResults rows. This allows an application to avoid the performance overhead associated with repeatedly allocating and freeing memory.
