Monitoring resources allocated for a session running a DSS query

You can monitor the resources allocated for, and used by, a session that is running a decision-support (DSS) query by running the onstat -g ses command.

The onstat -g ses option displays the following information:

The shared memory allocated for a session that is running a decision-support query
The shared memory used by a session that is running a decision-support query
The number of threads that the database server started for a session

For example, in onstat -g ses output, session number 49 is running five threads for a decision-support query.
