This is the report i got from a dev server. As per my conversation with the DEV team 'they ran some script on the server so the wait times got increased like this'.Now my question is if i ran the same on the production server will it effect the perfomance.waittime	             lastwaittype2875692330	ONDEMAND_TASK_QUEUE             2875659216	BROKER_TRANSMITTER              2875659216	BROKER_TRANSMITTER              2875659199	KSOURCE_WAKEUP                  288366960	XE_DISPATCHER_WAIT              10602506	BROKER_EVENTHANDLER             4613707	LAZYWRITER_SLEEP                4613656	LAZYWRITER_SLEEP                4613654	LAZYWRITER_SLEEP                4613646	CHECKPOINT_QUEUE                447861	FT_IFTSHC_MUTEX                 390142	FT_IFTS_SCHEDULER_IDLE_WAIT     29701	XE_TIMER_EVENT                  24375	FT_IFTS_SCHEDULER_IDLE_WAIT     3086	SQLTRACE_INCREMENTAL_FLUSH_SLEEP2313	REQUEST_FOR_DEADLOCK_SEARCH     608	LAZYWRITER_SLEEP I am new to this forum If any descrepency in my mail excuse me.

I'll stop obsessing over them and get on with looking at things that are really amiss then :)Cheers</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2012 13:46:15 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ProofOfLife</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Suspended Commands on master db</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1366319-391-1.aspx</link><description>Yes, absolutely it's normal.No user process created these. They were spawned when SQL started and they won't terminate until the SQL instance stops. That's why they have such huge wait times. System processes all wait a lot, it's normal, that's why those wait types are excluded from all well-written wait-analysis scripts. They're waiting for any work that they need to do.This is what my desktop PC's SQL instance looks like, machine's been up for a week and SQL's barely been used in that time.[img]http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Attachment12489.aspx[/img]</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:38:14 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>GilaMonster</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Suspended Commands on master db</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1366319-391-1.aspx</link><description>Hi Gail.Thanks for the response.Is it normal for them to have to wait so long - I can't imagine any of our processes which might have that sort of delay.  The jobs which we use for handling the comms with the webservice and all the data movement are happening at much shorter intervals - some at 10 minute, others at 15, a couple at 60 min and then the rest four hourly.Is there any way to determine what processes actually created these tasks.  From my reading to date it does not appear possible to do so.CheersRowan</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2012 03:31:53 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ProofOfLife</dc:creator></item><item><title>RE: Suspended Commands on master db</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1366319-391-1.aspx</link><description>Those are all system processes and they are all waiting for something to wake them up. This is correct and expected behaviour, the system processes don't run all the time.Don't restart the server, there's nothing wrong here.</description><pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2012 01:14:46 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>GilaMonster</dc:creator></item><item><title>Suspended Commands on master db</title><link>http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1366319-391-1.aspx</link><description>HiI'm hoping someone will be able to cast some light on my current server issue.There are a number of commands which on the master db which have a suspended status, with significant wait times along with them.Command........................Wait Time...........Wait TypeSIGNAL HANDLER..............269275190..........KSOURCE_WAKEUPTASK MANAGER................269282488..........ONDEMAND_TASK_QUEUEBRKR EVENT HNDLR...........269276124..........BROKER_EVENTHANDLERBRKR TASK......................269282100..........BROKER_TRANSMITTERBRKR TASK......................269282095..........BROKER_TRANSMITTERFT GATHERER...................470649..............FT_IFTS_SCHEDULER_IDLE_WAIT(Apologies for my crude table)None of these have a Blocked By SPID listed against them.  If my calculations are correct, the longer suspended tasks were all put into this state around 72 hours ago - in my part of the world that means Friday evening at around 6pm.  This points the finger at one or a combination of scheduled jobs involved in processing XML data rerieved from an external webservice.  Unfortunately the logs that far back have now been purged - cause for me to reconsider our clean up regime.From my research so far I get it that these are system tasks and as such they cannot be killed.  I also understand that the BRKR tasks are created by the Service Broker and probably relate to our use of DB Mail or some other background operation.I'm seeking to understand what may have given rise to these and why.  Later this evening I will restart the server, expecting these tasks to clear during that process.  The need to uderstand what is going on is driven by wanting to avoid them in the future as I suspect that they have played a role in very poor performance from the server today.I look forward to someone perhaps being in a position to provide some possible explanation of this situation.  My thanks in advance.CheersRowan</description><pubDate>Sun, 30 Sep 2012 23:23:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>ProofOfLife</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
