Escalating Lock Problem

  • My company's application software appears to be creating a series of escalating locks when a rollup report runs at intervals of every 10 minutes after the hour. This is causing other applications to timeout.

    I'd like to track the locks that occur at that time.

    What would be the best way to do this?

  • I would suggest using the dynamic management view sys.dm_tran_locks. That will show what is locking, the type of locks, the session holding the lock... You get the idea.

  • That should do it.

    Thanks,
