BACKUP_OPERATOR	Occurs when a task is waiting for a tape mount. To view the tape status, query sys.dm_io_backup_tapes. If a mount operation is not pending, this wait type may indicate a hardware problem with the tape drive.
BACKUPBUFFER	Occurs when a backup task is waiting for data, or is waiting for a buffer in which to store data. This type is not typical, except when a task is waiting for a tape mount.
BACKUPIO	Occurs when a backup task is waiting for data, or is waiting for a buffer in which to store data. This type is not typical, except when a task is waiting for a tape mount.
BACKUPTHREAD	Occurs when a task is waiting for a backup task to finish. Wait times may be long, from several minutes to several hours. If the task that is being waited on is in an I/O process, this type does not indicate a problem.
BAD_PAGE_PROCESS	Occurs when the background suspect page logger is trying to avoid running more than every five seconds. Excessive suspect pages cause the logger to run frequently.

DEADLOCK_TASK_SEARCH	Large waiting time on this resource indicates that the server is executing queries on top of sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks, and these queries are blocking deadlock monitor from running deadlock search. This wait type is used by deadlock monitor only. Queries on top of sys.dm_os_waiting_tasks use DEADLOCK_ENUM_MUTEX.
DEBUG	Occurs during Transact-SQL and CLR debugging for internal synchronization.
DISABLE_VERSIONING	Occurs when SQL Server polls the version transaction manager to see whether the timestamp of the earliest active transaction is later than the timestamp of when the state started changing. If this is this case, all the snapshot transactions that were started before the ALTER DATABASE statement was run have finished. This wait state is used when SQL Server disables versioning by using the ALTER DATABASE statement.
DISKIO_SUSPEND	Occurs when a task is waiting to access a file when an external backup is active. This is reported for each waiting user process. A count larger than five per user process may indicate that the external backup is taking too much time to finish.
DISPATCHER_QUEUE_SEMAPHORE	Occurs when a thread from the dispatcher pool is waiting for more work to process. The wait time for this wait type is expected to increase when the dispatcher is idle.
DLL_LOADING_MUTEX	Occurs once while waiting for the XML parser DLL to load.
DROPTEMP	Occurs between attempts to drop a temporary object if the previous attempt failed. The wait duration grows exponentially with each failed drop attempt.
DTC	Occurs when a task is waiting on an event that is used to manage state transition. This state controls when the recovery of Microsoft Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MS DTC) transactions occurs after SQL Server receives notification that the MS DTC service has become unavailable. This state also describes a task that is waiting when a commit of a MS DTC transaction is initiated by SQL Server and SQL Server is waiting for the MS DTC commit to finish.
DTC_ABORT_REQUEST	Occurs in a MS DTC worker session when the session is waiting to take ownership of a MS DTC transaction. After MS DTC owns the transaction, the session can roll back the transaction. Generally, the session will wait for another session that is using the transaction.
DTC_RESOLVE	Occurs when a recovery task is waiting for the master database in a cross-database transaction so that the task can query the outcome of the transaction.
DTC_STATE	Occurs when a task is waiting on an event that protects changes to the internal MS DTC global state object. This state should be held for very short periods of time.
DTC_TMDOWN_REQUEST	Occurs in a MS DTC worker session when SQL Server receives notification that the MS DTC service is not available. First, the worker will wait for the MS DTC recovery process to start. Then, the worker waits to obtain the outcome of the distributed transaction that the worker is working on. This may continue until the connection with the MS DTC service has been reestablished.
DTC_WAITFOR_OUTCOME	Occurs when recovery tasks wait for MS DTC to become active to enable the resolution of prepared transactions.
DUMP_LOG_COORDINATOR	Occurs when a main task is waiting for a subtask to generate data. Ordinarily, this state does not occur. A long wait indicates an unexpected blockage. The subtask should be investigated.

EC	Identified for informational purposes only. Not supported. Future compatibility is not guaranteed.
EE_PMOLOCK	Occurs during synchronization of certain types of memory allocations during statement execution.

ERROR_REPORTING_MANAGER	Occurs during synchronization of multiple concurrent error log initializations.
EXCHANGE	Occurs during synchronization in the query processor exchange iterator during parallel queries.
EXECSYNC	Occurs during parallel queries while synchronizing in query processor in areas not related to the exchange iterator. Examples of such areas are bitmaps, large binary objects (LOBs), and the spool iterator. LOBs may frequently use this wait state.

HADR_DATABASE_WAIT_FOR_TRANSITION_TO_VERSIONING	A query on object(s) in a readable secondary database of an AlwaysOn availability group is blocked on row versioning while waiting for commit or rollback of all transactions that were in-flight when the secondary replica was enabled for read workloads. This wait type guarantees that row versions are available before execution of a query under snapshot isolation.

HADR_LOGCAPTURE_SYNC	Concurrency control around the log capture or apply object when creating or destroying scans. This is an expected wait when partners change state or connection status.
HADR_LOGCAPTURE_WAIT	Waiting for log records to become available. Can occur either when waiting for new log records to be generated by connections or for I/O completion when reading log not in the cache. This is an expected wait if the log scan is caught up to the end of log or is reading from disk.

Note The engine keeps a list of WSFC networks that is used in dynamic management views (such as sys.dm_hadr_cluster_networks) or to validate AlwaysOn Transact-SQL statements that reference WSFC network information. This list is updated upon engine startup, WSFC related notifications, and internal AlwaysOn restart (for example, losing and regaining of WSFC quorum). Tasks will usually be blocked when an update in that list is in progress.
HADR_RECOVERY_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTION	Waiting for the secondary database to connect to the primary database before running recovery. This is an expected wait, which can lengthen if the connection to the primary is slow to establish.
HADR_RECOVERY_WAIT_FOR_UNDO	Database recovery is waiting for the secondary database to finish the reverting and initializing phase to bring it back to the common log point with the primary database. This is an expected wait after failovers.Undo progress can be tracked through the Windows System Monitor (perfmon.exe) and dynamic management views.
HADR_REPLICAINFO_SYNC	Waiting for concurrency control to update the current replica state.
HADR_SYNC_COMMIT	Waiting for transaction commit processing for the synchronized secondary databases to harden the log. This wait is also reflected by the Transaction Delay performance counter.

HADR_TDS_LISTENER_SYNC	Either the internal AlwaysOn system or the WSFC cluster will request that listeners are started or stopped. The processing of this request is always asynchronous, and there is a mechanism to remove redundant requests. There are also moments that this process is suspended because of configuration changes. All waits related with this listener synchronization mechanism use this wait type. Internal use only.
HADR_TDS_LISTENER_SYNC_PROCESSING	Used at the end of an AlwaysOn Transact-SQL statement that requires starting and/or stopping an availability group listener. Since the start/stop operation is done asynchronously, the user thread will block using this wait type until the situation of the listener is known.
HADR_TIMER_TASK	Waiting to get the lock on the timer task object and is also used for the actual waits between times that work is being performed. For example, for a task that runs every 10 seconds, after one execution, AlwaysOn Availability Groups waits about 10 seconds to reschedule the task, and the wait is included here.
