Comments posted to this topic are about the item DBA Tools: sp_whoCPU
Hi All,
Just a note to let you know that the issue with the TAB characters has been resolved, so you can just copy and paste the script if you would like to use it.
Thanks

Thanks for the script. I've sucessfully run it and created the sp but when I run the sp itself in SS management studio (2005), I only get the colunm headers but no results. Am I missing something?

Hi,
This is possible, if there is no activity on the server, during the 3 seconds period when the sp_whocpu calculates the cpu_delta.
The spid that runs sp_whocpu is ignored. None of the sleeping processes which do not consume cpu will show either, so it is possible that at a certain moment you don't get any output.
This is what differentiates sp_whocpu from sp_who2 for example. Running sp_who2 will show all processes, some with quite high cpu figures, when in fact they do not consume any resources at that moment in time.
Cheers, Mircea

Outstanding. This makes perfect sense as it was on my DEV server which had open connections but may not have been processing anything.  Thanks!

Love this script. Hope you don't mind, I added one tweak, to pass a time parameter in (default to 3 seconds). Changes bolded below.

Hi,
Thank you very much for your comments and your suggestion.
The stored procedure did have an interval parameter in the design phase, however, I found in the past two years since using it that 2 seconds is the minimum time to get meaningful figures, and from 4 or 5 seconds onwards the wait until you get results is too long.
You can certainly use a parameter for the interval, however, this opens new possibilities for things to go astray, as many DBAs including me think of time in milliseconds, and it would be easy to pass by mistake 4000 instead of 4 as parameter if you have four seconds in mind. This would be less than ideal.
The main use for this stored procedure is as a very fast tool to get the top processes consuming cpu, so although I am generally against hard coding, I decided not to use parameters - just call sp_whocpu and get the results.
Thanks, Mircea

Hello,
You are deleting sleeping processes if the @loginame is in 'Active'. But what happens if I don't give any login name, which means @loginame would be null? Does the procedure still delete the sleeping processes from the temporary table?
Thanks.
