Extending HCL OneDB™Beyond standard relational database objects, HCL OneDB™ can be extended to handle specialized data types, access methods, routines, and other objects. HCL OneDB™ includes many built-in extensions that are fully integrated in the database server. HCL OneDB™ also provides DataBlade® modules, which are packages of extended database objects for a particular purpose and that are installed separately from the database server. Alternatively, you can create your own user-defined objects for HCL OneDB™.
Creating extensionsYou can create user-defined data types, routines, access methods, and other database objects to suit your needs. You can use application programming interfaces to write user-defined routines and applications that access data in HCL OneDB™ databases.
DataBlade® API Function ReferenceThe HCL OneDB™ DataBlade® API Function Reference describes the DataBlade® API functions and the subset of functions that the DataBlade® API supports.
Function descriptionsThis section gives comprehensive reference information about the functions that are valid within DataBlade® API modules. It lists the function descriptions in alphabetical order, with syntax, usage information, and return values for the functions.
The mi_vpinfo_vpid() functionThe mi_vpinfo_vpid() function obtains the VP identifier of the virtual processor (VP) on which the user-defined routine (UDR) is executing.

The mi_vpinfo_vpid() function

The mi_vpinfo_vpid() function obtains the VP identifier of the virtual processor (VP) on which the user-defined routine (UDR) is executing.

Syntax

mi_integer mi_vpinfo_vpid(void)


Valid in client LIBMI application?	Valid in user-defined routine?
No	Yes

Important: This advanced function can adversely affect your UDR if you use the function incorrectly. Use it only when no regular DataBlade® API function can perform the task you need done.

Usage

The mi_vpinfo_vpid() function returns the VP identifier for the current VP. The current VP is the VP on which the current UDR is running. The VP identifier is a unique integer that the database server assigns to each active VP. The output of the onstat -g glo command displays the VP identifier for a VP in its first output column.

After you have a VP identifier, you can use the following DataBlade API functions to obtain additional information about the VP environment.

DataBlade API function: VP-environment information
mi_vpinfo_classid(): VP-class identifier
mi_vpinfo_isnoyield(): Does the current VP belong to a nonyielding VP class?

For information about the VP environment, see the HCL OneDB™ DataBlade API Programmer's Guide.

Return values

>=0: The VP identifier for the VP on which the current UDR is running.
MI_ERROR: The function was not successful.
