I tried to query the fragmentation stats on that table.
using

SELECT
a.index_id,
name,
avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(' DB '),OBJECT_ID(' Table'A' '),NULL, NULL, NULL) AS a
JOIN sys.indexes AS b ON
a.object_id = b.object_id AND
a.index_id = b.index_id;

but the query is taking tooo long.....
I checked activity monitor. and it has IX locks on that table and the wait time is 2955150046.

Is there any other place where I can look for some information.

If you run all the jobs that are going to insert data into Table A in parallel, there will definitely be blocking and it might also lead to deadlock causing your jobs to be terminated by the SQL engine. If possible, execute those jobs sequentially. Once done, check for fragmentation and do a re-org or rebuild of indexes.

Thanks to all for the replies.

I ran the query
SELECT
a.index_id,
name,
avg_fragmentation_in_percent
FROM sys.dm_db_index_physical_stats (DB_ID(' dbname '),OBJECT_ID(' table a '),NULL, NULL, 'limited') AS a
JOIN sys.indexes AS b ON
a.object_id = b.object_id AND
a.index_id = b.index_id;

and I have 5 indexes on my table
and all 3 indexes are 96% fragmented and 2 of them are 66% fragmented.

I am planning to archive the data and rebuild the indexes on that table.

DO you guys think this will work out .... or Any suggestions.
