Displaying the running processes

Select the Processes folder to display the processes currently running on Adaptive Server. The processes displayed are read-only. You cannot set them.The plug-in displays the following attributes for a process running on Adaptive Server:

ID of the process.
Program name (for example, isql) for which this process is spawned.
Login used by the application to connect to Adaptive Server.
The status of the process (for example, sleeping or running).
The command issued by the program

Sybase Central displays the following columns for the running processes:

Blocked – Indicates whether or not a process is blocked by a lock held by another process. If a process is not blocked, the Blocked column has a value of 0 for this process. If the process is blocked, the value in the Blocked column is the spid of the blocking process.
Time_blocked – Length of time, in seconds, the process has been blocked.
IP address – The IP address of the host system on which the client application for a process is running. Because the host name field is not supplied by all applications, IP address allows the administrator to identify the host system in all cases.

This column is only displayed if the server being administered is Adaptive Server release 12.5 or later.
FID – Family of a process. Indicates the spid of the parent process. Relevant if the process is a worker thread in a parallel query.
CPU time – Total amount of CPU time, in seconds and tenths of seconds, consumed by the process since it logged.
Physical IO – Total number of physical IO operations performed by the process since it started.
Login Date– The date and time when the user logged into Adaptive Server. This data is given in the time zone of the server being managed, not the time zone in which the plug-in is running, or in the time zone in which the client represented in the Processes table is running.

This column is only displayed if the server being administered is Adaptive Server release 12.5 or later.
