This syntax is not supported by serverless SQL pool in Azure Synapse Analytics.

Column Name Data Type Description Range
request_id nvarchar(32) Query that this DMS worker is part of.

request_id, step_index, and dms_step_index form the key for this view.		 See request_id in sys.dm_pdw_exec_requests.
step_index int Query step this DMS worker is part of.

request_id, step_index, and dms_step_index form the key for this view.		 See step_index in sys.dm_pdw_request_steps.
dms_step_index int Step in the DMS plan that this worker is running.

request_id, step_index, and dms_step_index form the key for this view.
pdw_node_id int Node that the worker is running on. See node_id in sys.dm_pdw_nodes.
distribution_id Int Distribution that the worker is running on, if any. See distribution_id in sys.pdw_distributions.
type nvarchar(32) Type of DMS worker thread this entry represents. DIRECT_CONVERTER, DIRECT_READER, FILE_READER, HASH_CONVERTER, HASH_READER, ROUNDROBIN_CONVERTER, EXPORT_READER, EXTERNAL_READER, EXTERNAL_WRITER, PARALLEL_COPY_READER, REJECT_WRITER, WRITER
status nvarchar(32) Status of the DMS worker. Information not available.
bytes_per_sec bigint Read or write throughput in the last second. Greater than or equal to 0. NULL if the query was canceled or failed before the worker could execute.
bytes_processed bigint Total bytes processed by this worker. Greater than or equal to 0. NULL if the query was canceled or failed before the worker could execute.
rows_processed bigint Number of rows read or written for this worker. Greater than or equal to 0. NULL if the query was canceled or failed before the worker could execute.
start_time datetime Time at which execution of this worker started. Greater than or equal to start time of the query step this worker belongs to. See sys.dm_pdw_request_steps.
end_time datetime Time at which execution ended, failed, or was canceled. NULL for ongoing or queued workers. Otherwise, greater than start_time.
total_elapsed_time int Total time spent in execution, in milliseconds. Greater than or equal to 0.

Total time elapsed since system start or restart. If total_elapsed_time exceeds the maximum value for an integer (24.8 days in milliseconds), it will cause materialization failure due to overflow.

The maximum value in milliseconds is equivalent to 24.8 days.
cpu_time bigint CPU time consumed by this worker, in milliseconds. Greater than or equal to 0.
query_time int Period of time before SQL starts returning rows to the thread, in milliseconds. Greater than or equal to 0.
buffers_available int Number of unused buffers. NULL if the query was canceled or failed before the worker could execute.
sql_spid int Session ID on the SQL Server instance performing the work for this DMS worker.
dms_cpid int Process ID of the actual thread running.
error_id nvarchar(36) Unique identifier of the error that occurred during execution of this worker, if any. See error_id in sys.dm_pdw_request_steps.
source_info nvarchar(4000) For a reader, specification of the source tables and columns.
destination_info nvarchar(4000) For a writer, specification of the destination tables.

For information about the maximum rows retained by this view, see the Metadata section in the Capacity limits topic.
