Input Parameters

Parameter	Description
HostIdIn	Logical ID of a host (or client) with sessions logged on. A value of -1 indicates all hosts.
UserNameIn	User name of the session. An asterisk (*) or NULL indicates all users.
SessionNoIn	ID of the session to abort. A value of zero indicates all sessions.
LogoffSessions	Indicator of whether to log off sessions to Teradata Database in addition to aborting them: •Y Y = Log off and abort sessions. •N N or NULL = Do not log sessions off.
UserOverride	Indicator of whether to override an ABORT SESSION failure: Y = Override the ABORT SESSION request to fail in any of the following cases: · A identified session is being session-switched. · An identified session is executing its own ABORT SESSION request. · An identified session has a PEState of IDLE: IN-DOUBT as a result of a 2PC. Sessions are marked IN-DOUBT by the 2PC protocol, which governs how transactions are committed by multiple systems that do not share memory. The protocol guarantees that either all systems commit or all roll back. N or NULL = Do not override.

Example:

Abort all session for user

SELECT AbortSessions (1, '<USERNAME>', 0, 'N', 'N');

Abort single session for a user

SELECT AbortSessions (1, '<USERNAME>', <SESSION_NUMBER>, 'N', 'N');
