Query for CSS
Check the value of the column ‘SNAPSHOT_STATUS’.
The values of this column could be 0 or 1 or 2. Their description is as under
If SNAPSHOT_STATUS = 0, then the snapshot is empty.
If SNAPSHOT_STATUS = 1, then the snapshot is in progress.
If SNAPSHOT_STATUS = 2, then shapshot has been run and is consolidated successfully.
So if the value of the SNAPSHOT_STATUS is other than 2, then it has not consolidated sucessfully.
Select * From DSS_SNAPSHOTS order by 1
