update stats getting blocked by FETCH API_CURSOR

Hi all,

I am facing a  blocking scenario in my production server where a An third party Application is connecting to SQl server.

We update statistics in the database as part of daily maintenance and this is getting blocked by a application thread.


The update stats step is trying to Acquire an Exclusive lock on the Table ACTIVE_LOGINS which is being blocked by an application thread with the following statement.


The updatestats is being blocked by another thread with sql handle FETCH API_CURSOR0000000000006BA2.

This seems to be an API cursor call which executes a sql select on the ACTIVE_LOGINS table.


I have turned off auto upddate statistics on the table and also CURSOR_Close_ON_COMMIT ON.But still the blocking  is there.

Any help  regarding this issue is much appreciated.
