Activity Monitor: How to know what processes to turn off?
I cant seem to find something like a glossary for the processes that appear in Activity Monitor.
I get the idea for using the AM - to find out what processes are running and how much memory they are using, however, I just don't know what processes are "suspicious", uneccary, good, bad or whatever. Anyone know of some resource to help me know what I should turn off?
Many thanks!
Ah, in that case, watch your CPU usage.
When Activity Monitor starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom.
For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the Menubar.
Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
When the slowdown occurs, see if something changes significantly, especially if the +% idle+ goes to near zero. If that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and/or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
You may also want to select the +System Memory+ tab towards the bottom. Keep an eye on the total of Free and Inactive memory (if they're near zero, you may need more), and the +Page outs+ (if that's high, it's another indication you may need more memory).

Activity Monitor: how to quickly find "not responding" processes?
Is there a quick way, in Activity Monitor, to identify the apps/processes that are crashed/"not responding" other than scrolling down the list, looking for those highlighted in red?
If there's a particular column/attribute to sort on, I haven't figured it out.

How to know the process code of an IDOC
Hi All,
If I want to know the process code of a standard SAP IDOC, how do I do it. Is it we42 or any table/transaction, which can show me all the possible process codes for an IDOC.
I need to know this so that I can use this accordingly in my partner profile. ( I do not have any idoc in mind, but its avery general question. How do I know what process code belongs to which IDOC)
Many thanksHi,
U can check using We41 and We42 tcode for both inbound and outbound case. For each process code a function module is attached check the same for required functionality.
WE60 and WE64 transaction.will list the std IDOC in SAP.

How to know what reports are running by looking at SSReproting Services to see what reports are running and also any clue of which application is using the reporting services?
To see what reports are running, take a look at the execution log views that are available in the database. Which views that are available are dependent on your version of SSRS.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159110.aspx
To see which application is using SSRS is a little more difficult. You can turn HTTP logging on, which will give you an idea of where connections are coming from, so you can see IP addresses. You can also look at the execution log view to see
user accounts. So, depending on your environment and use of service accounts, this could be easy, or difficult.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb630443.aspx
If all else fails you can look for clues in the SSRS logs. Good luck... -

How to know the process chain start time & end time?
HI all .
how to know the process chain start time & end time at the table level as well as in RSPC level .
regards,
SrinivasHello,
there is a program "/ssa/bwt" which will help you to know the exact time when the process was started and ended.
but the thing is you have to provide name of the process chain with the date at which it was executed.
another option is - you can double click on start process and on the last process of the chain.
here, you will get both the timings... Start time of the start process will be the start time of your PC and end time of the last process in the chain will be end time of your PC.
Hope this will help you. -
How to know the process chain start time and end time
Hi Experts,
How to know the process chain start time and end time .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Gutti
Edited by: guttireddy on Feb 23, 2012 11:30 PMHi Reddy,
You may find the run time of a PC using below steps.
1. Call SE38 > /SSA/BWT > Execute > Enter your PC , choose the date and time > Execute. Here Run-time of a PC is displayed. (or)
2. Call RSPC1 > Enter your PC > Execute > Goto Log view > Right click on the start Variant > Displaying Messages > Note down the start time in Chain Tab. Now Right click on the last Process type of the PC > Displaying Messages > Note down the End time in Chain Tab. The Difference b/w start time and end time gives the Run-time of your PC.
Hope this helps.
Regards

I'm able to trap the TTN_LINKCLICK notification. However I would like to retrieve the URL text link that was clicked.
How to know what link is clicked on a Balloon tooltip after handle the TTN_LINKCLICK message ?
MCunhaBasically you don't know what link was clicked. If you need more than one link, you may need to use a different UI element to display it, like a dialog or some sort of other popup window that you have control over.
