The EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions method returns a QueryResults object that enumerates execution status data about Queue Reader Agent sessions operating on the specified publication.

Applies To
DistributionDatabase2 Object
Syntax

object.EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions(
lPublicationID,
SessionType,
SessionDuration,
lEstimatedNumRecords ) as QueryResults

Parts

object

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

lPublicationID

Long integer that identifies the publication by ID.

SessionType

SQLDMO_SESSION_TYPE constant that indicates the session type as described in Settings.

SessionDuration

Long integer that specifies the number of hours. Restricts result set membership to those sessions launched within the specified number of hours. 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 EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions(
long lPublicationID,
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 sessions for agent.
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
action_count integer Total number of session details.
average_commands integer Average number of commands.
commands_processed integer Cumulative number of commands processed in the session.
comments nvarchar(255) Descriptive text.
delivery_latency integer Latency, in milliseconds, between a transaction entering the queue and being applied to the Publisher.
delivery_rate integer Average number of commands delivered per second.
duration integer Elapsed time of the logged session activity in seconds.
error_id integer When nonzero, indicates a Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 error message number.

start_time nvarchar(24) Date and time at which agent session started.
status integer Queue Reader Agent status.
time nvarchar(24) Date and time of last logged message.
transactions_processed integer Cumulative number of transactions processed in the session.

Remarks

In the result set, date and time data returned in start_time and time are 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).

For example, the value 19990911 18:12:00.000 is interpreted as 6:12 P.M., September 11, 1999.

The EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions method includes 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.

Note  If an application calls EnumQueueReaderAgentSessions on an instance of SQL Server version 7.0, the constant, SQLDMO_E_SQL80ONLY, and the message "This property or method requires Microsoft SQL Server 2000" are returned.
