Hi,

I configured the system to use maxdop of 8 (Instance configuration).
I see in dm_os_waiting_tasks sessions that have more than 8 tasks.
I thought the amount of tasks per session was the actual DOP.
Were can I see the degree of parallelism and why are they more tasks per session than MAXDOP ?

Thanks very much !!

IMHO the MAXDOP says how many processors a running statement can use...
