I'm trying to map the SPID of a certain process to the PID under the processes tab in task manager. I can map the PID to the KPID through the sysprocesses table but this KPID does not appear in task manager under the PID's under the processes tab. How can this be done?
View 8 RepliesWe had this issue yesterday, for like an hour. Suddenly, our website started to get slow and get timeout errors. After executing sp_who2 and sp_whoisactive, we found a system process blocking many other processes. Of course, it was impossible for us to kill it.
Under "Status" it said TASK MANAGER, "Login" sa, from sp_who2.
Under "sql_text" it was NULL, "program_name" empty, "open_tran_count" changed like this: 2,3,4,3,4,2,1 until it finished, and "database_name" changed from our database to master at the end, from sp_whoisactive.
Our CPU usage and memory at that moment were almost the same as any other day.
We don't do backups or execute jobs at that particular time. We don't even use "sa" account.
What could have happened? In the event viewer we've found nothing, nor in SQL server logs.
Once it finished everything was back to normal, we want to prevent this from happening again.
This is running on sql server 2012, we have seup the databases on Availability group. The strange behavior i have been seeing the past few weeks is task manager has been blocked from index Re-org but have not found that what that task manager doing.. it won't shows the statement that running but shows as command type= 'Task manager'. Index is so big and i have been stopping this because of triple thread blocking.

I have a Foxpro app with a SQL Server 7 backend. The Idle Connect setting on VFP is set to indefinite. I'm having some connectivity issues where the SPID for the client seems to disappear from the active SQL processes on the server when the client sits idle for a while (10 minutes or so). On some workstations, resuming activity at the client results in the SPIDs reappearing
as if they were always there with no problem. On others, the connection is not reestablished and the client gives a 1526 (VFP ODBC) error.
Does anybody know why this might be? Are the SPID connections cached at both sides and if so, how?
Thanks.

In Sql Server 2005 sys.dm_db_task_space_usage is great for tracking down temdb space issues.
I have tempdb space issues in sql server 2000, how do i get the same info in SS2000 ? IE: What spid is using the most tempdb space ?

I have a SQL Server 2000/E with 8 GB RAM in the machine.
It is configured to use fixed memory size, at 7GB, and all the appropriate OS switches are set to use that.
Everything had been working fine, but we've been having some production problems and while looking into it, I looked at task manager and while the server performance tab shows that the server is using 7+ GB, the processes tab shows sqlservr.exe at 107,724 K.
Do you think this is a real issue, and that the server might only be using 100 mb of ram? Does anyone have any larger servers like this that they could compare?
Thanks
There are times when I either compile a stored procedure, or right now as I am creating indexes on tables, when sp_who2 shows a SPID assigned to my name that I do not currently have opened in SSMS. When I check the statement with dbcc inputbuffer it shows a query hitting many of the system views. Earlier this week, someone tried killing one of these SPIDS and SQL Server generated a new SPID with the same type of query.
View 5 Replies View RelatedHallo,
I am a newbie on SQL server and my problem is this:
My SQL server runs with many client queries and after a while I can observe that the meory usage of the SQL server shown in the Windows Task Manager is growing up (e.g. 260 MB !!!).
I checked the online books and found the settings "min/max server memory" which I set to
min = 4 MB
max = 20 MB
by Enterprise manager.
Then I restarted my SQL server, checked the memory settings again by Enterprise manager and started many client queries. The memory usage in Task Manager nevertheless exeeded the 20 MB.
What is my failure? How can I limit the memory usage of SQL server?
Thank you very much for any help...
When I try to create an SSIS package with an FTP task, it always fails to compile with the messages:
Error at Package: The connection "" is not found. This error is thrown by Connections collection when the specific connection element is not found.
Error at FTP Task [FTP Task]: Connection manager "" can not be found.
Error at FTP Task: There were errors during task validation.
(Microsoft.DataTransformationServices.VsIntegration)
The item is marked with a circled-X. The tool-tip also agrees: The connection "" is not found.
Using my recreation steps below, I am setting up a connection manager, but it is never found at compile time.
1. Open BIDS, select a new Integration Services project.
2. Drag an FTP task from the toolbox to the Control Flow window.
3. Double-click the FTP task.
4. On the FTP Task Editor window, General page, pull down the FTPConnection property.
5. Select <New Connection...>
6. On the FTP Connection Manager Editor window, enter the servername, port, username and password.
7. Click "Test Connection" to verify connectivity. (It succeeds.)
8. Click OK on the FTP Connection Manager Editor window.
9. Click OK on the FTP Task Editor window.
I'm not using a configuration file or logging provider for this example.
I have also installed SP2 + cumulative update 2.
Hello everyone,
I have my minimum server memory in SQL set to 4GB, but in my Windows Task Manager, sqlservr.exe only has about 100MB.
Does anyone have any idea why task manager doesn't show the full amount?
Thanks in advance.

I just ran into an issue with cascading locks due to a SPID on one of my production servers. When researching the lock, I noticed that there was no sql text. SP_Who 2, nor the following query captured anything,
SELECT sqltext.TEXT
, sqlplan.query_plan
, req.session_id
, req.status
, req.command
[Code] ....
I spoke to the user causing the lock and he ran into a visual basic error when this occurred and didn't close out that window. So my guess is that it's due to an uncommitted transaction. However, shouldn't I still see something if that was the case?
Hi,
I'm using Integration Service between Firebird and MS SQL 2005. I can able to move data from Firebird db tables to MS SQL db tables using DataReader source (Firebird Connection Manager) and SQL Server Destination (SQL Server Connection Manager) component.
Now I want to execute parametrized SQL statement to fetch data from Firebird DB using Execute SQL Task Component. In this process while trying to set Connection property to this component I can able to view only MS SQL Connection Manager and it is not listing Firebird Connection Manager.
Now I need a help to get connect this Execute SQL Task component with Firebird connection Manager. Help me to find out where I'm making mistake.
FYI. I'm using Firebird .Net Provieder 2.0.1
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I am running into issues with custom objects interaction with visual studio 2005.
1. Custom connection manager.
I am setting the name of the connection manager ( to standardize naming convention ) that user created, however when the CM is created, the name displayed in visual studio is still the default name even if the real name is the one i set. I have to do things like, edit it or save package - close - reopen, create another connection, ... etc in order to get it refreshed.
2. Custom Task
I am managing some variables in this custom task so that I will be adding and deleting variables in the package.
The challenge i am running into is, when I added 2 variables for example, even though the variables are successfully added to package, the Variable Window in visual studio designer will not reflect the new variables. I have to save package, close, and re-open in order for the variables to show up.
So this brings to my question - is there any way to tell Visual Studio programmatically to refresh the contents of these 2 sections, 1 is the Variable Window and the other is the panel containing the list of connection managers.
I have been searching around and found some clue about visual studio SDK but I still cannot find an exact way of doing it. Visual Studio SDK example tells you how you can access the Variable window as
framesList = new List<IVsWindowFrame>();
toolWindowNames = new List<string>();
// Get the UI Shell service
IVsUIShell uiShell = (IVsUIShell)Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.Package.GetGlobalService(typeof(SVsUIShell));
// Get the tool windows enumerator
IEnumWindowFrames windowEnumerator;
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(uiShell.GetToolWindowEnum(out windowEnumerator));
IVsWindowFrame[] frame = new IVsWindowFrame[1];
uint fetched = 0;
int hr = VsConstants.S_OK;
// Note that we get S_FALSE when there is no more item, so only loop while we are getting S_OK
while (hr == VsConstants.S_OK)
{
// For each tool window, add it to the list
hr = windowEnumerator.Next(1, frame, out fetched);
ErrorHandler.ThrowOnFailure(hr);
if (fetched == 1)
{
// We successfully retrieved a window frame, update our lists
string caption = (string)GetProperty(frame[0], (int)__VSFPROPID.VSFPROPID_Caption);
toolWindowNames.Add(caption);
framesList.Add(frame[0]);
}
}
But i looked up the methods for IVsWindowFrame and it does not have anything to refresh the contents of the frame.
I thought about firing events but cannot find which one to fire.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I've SQL Server 2005 Dev Edition and Windows Server 2003 ENT SP2.
in the task manager i see that the server use 5GB out of 6GB,but when i arrange the process to see whom takes all the memory i see that the sqlservr.exe takes 150MB(he is the biggest).
when i open Perfmon and look on the sqlservr.exe memory use, i see that he takes the 4.5G.
i've a problem that the server use alot of cpu time to run users queries,i see that pages/sec counter is very big average between 600-800.
is there any problem with my memory?
why the memory reading from the task manager is wrong?
if my pages/sec counter is so big do i have a memory leaks + pressure?

Hello,
We have an SSIS job that runs once a day and sends emails.
For security reasons, IT switched the send-mail porton the smtp server from 25 to a different number (let's say 1234).
So, I changed the SSIS SMTP Connection Manager's smtpServer string to smptserver:1234
However, this does not seem to be working. I keep getting 'Send Mail Failure' error.
Any ideas how to set the port number for sending emails using SSIS?
thanks much,

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to override the column delimiter from a script task for a flat file connection.
Before outputing the data into a file, I have a variable which contains the delimiter to be used... but as it seems that this property cannot be changed through an expression, I assume it has to be done throught code...
However, the connectionmanager object doesnt seem to have the delimiter as an available property.
Any help would be appreciated
IF someone can assist me. Everytime I load up enterprise manager the service manager turns off. And the enterprise manager can't connect to the local database. But everytime i turn it back on and try to connect again it shuts it off and around and around we go. Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

All,
Is there any way to see the SQL for any given spid in SQL server?
I can see "properties" under enterprise mgr - which shows you a snippet of the SQL - or "sp_execute" depending on what you use to get to the DBMS.
Is there a way to take a deeper look?
Thanks,

Hi to all.
I have a small doubt.
In my server some processs are running slow.
With out the use of profiler hw we can find the spid's that are running slow. is there any procedure for that.
I am seeing intermittent blocking problems. The strange part of it is,that the SPID listed in the Blk By column is the same as the SPID thatis being blocked.Has anyone seen this before, or have any idea what this may suggest?

I am using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" to copy some tables from database A to database B including data.
The tables, primary key constraints, Foreign key, data and all transfers nicely except for "DEFAULT CONSTRAINTS" on the tables.
I have failed to find any option in the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" task to explicitly say "copy default constraints". So I guess logically it should happen automatically but it doesn't. I hope it is not a bug :-)
Any option anyone knows will help.
Thanks.
In short, does the €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? support distributed transactions?
In trying to use a €œTransfer SQL Server Objects Task€? in a container using a transaction on the container. The task is set to support the transaction. It is setup to copy table data from several tables from a non-domain server (sql server 2000) to a domain-based server (sql server 2005). I get an error stating, €œThis task can not participate in a transaction€?.
I am wondering if it means exactly what it says €“ this task in SSIS can€™t participate at all. Or does it mean that it won€™t in this scenario for some reason. I attempted a simple copy of data from mssql 2005 to mssql 2005 (same server) and the task still failed). MSDTC appears to be running properly on my machine and such (I can do a simple distributed transaction across linked server to the 2000 server in Query Analyzer (QA)). Also, MSDTC appears to be working on both servers with distributed transaction query tests in QA.
Here€™s the error info€¦
SSIS package "Development BusinessContacts and Products Migration.dtsx" starting.
Information: 0x4001100A at Copy BusinessContacts Data: Starting distributed transaction for this container.
Error: 0xC002F319 at Copy BusinessContacts database table data 1, Transfer SQL Server Objects Task: This task can not participate in a transaction.

Is it pretty normal or something wrong..
i am not running any thing, just simply opened EM..
Pls any suggestions...
thank u

I know that spid 22 is blocking 2 other users. How do I tell who that user is? Is this just matching the same spid# in the process info in EM and if it doesn't give me an NT name it's probably because they're coming through the application and I can't figure it out?
Thanks
I'm going to try to explain my situation.
I have a spid that I'm not able to kill, this were a select statement from with in access 97 application using a DNS connection.
So even that I reboot the client pc and kill the spid it still shows as active with status RollBack.
We have similar problem before and the only way that it disappear were re - starting Sql.
(system Sql 7.0 with sp1 and Access 97)
Thanks.
How do COM+ transactions relate to SQL Server SPID?
I am trying to solve a deadlock issue. Using SQL trace, I find SPID 65 and 71 are trying to acquire resources that are locked by each other. But what I am confuse with is tasks performed by 65 are triggered by different transactions (same for 71). Should different COM+ transaction uses different SPID?
The entire COM+ application uses only one db login.
Please advice.
I can not stop a process using 'KILL spid'.What else should I try?
process has begun a transaction and does not commit.
