V$AW_OLAP provides a record of active sessions and their use with analytic workspaces. A row is generated whenever an analytic workspace is created or attached. The first row for a session is created when the first command is issued. It identifies the SYS.EXPRESS workspace, which is attached automatically to each session. Rows related to a particular analytic workspace are deleted when the workspace is detached from the session or the session ends.
