Managing OLAP User Sessions

Question

HI All,
Is there any mechanism for managing/killing OLAP user sessions? I am in development/testing of an OLAP WEb Agent application, and find sometimes, I need to kill a rogue session, but can't find a way to do it, other than restarting the db instance. I not sure how to correctly id the session from v$session as I have seen in a few Oracle docs.
I have had primarily an Express background, so I was hoping there might be some equivalent of the Express Instance Manager / Sessions interface....
Regards,
Imran

Imran, if you go under Metalink / Top Tech Docs / Oracle OLAP, you can find the following articles:
298689.1 How to kill OLAP sessions from SQL*Plus
298686.1 How to determine which session is attached to an AW
Basically, the following two queries should help.
Determine sessions:
select daws.owner "Owner",
vawo.session_id "SID",
vses.serial# "SERIAL#",
daws.aw_name "AW",
vawo.attach_mode "AttachMode"
from dba_aws daws, v$aw_olap vawo , v$session vses
where daws.aw_number = vawo.aw_number and vses.sid = vawo.session_id
order by daws.owner, vawo.session_id, daws.aw_name
Kill session:
alter system kill session '19, 65' <--- "19" is the SID, "65" is the Serial #
Just tested this on 10gR2 to make sure it still works - it does!
Hope this helps,
Scott
