Remarks
To use this view, you must be connected to the master database. Use the sys.dm_operation_status view in the master database of the SQL Database server to track the status of the following operations performed on a SQL Database:
Create database
Copy database. Database Copy creates a record in this view on both the source and target servers.
Alter database
Change the performance level of a service tier
Change the service tier of a database, such as changing from Basic to Standard.
Setting up a Geo-Replication relationship
Terminating a Geo-Replication relationship

The information in this view is retained for approximately 1 hour. You can use the Azure Activity Log to view details of operations in the last 90 days. For retention more than 90 days, consider sending Activity Log entries to a Log Analytics workspace.
Example
Show most recent geo-replication operations associated with database mydb:
SELECT *
FROM sys.dm_operation_status
WHERE major_resource_id = 'mydb'
ORDER BY start_time DESC;
