if @@trancount > 0 commit tran issue

Question

When I'm executing sp_who2 on my database I see that process by SPID is RUNNABLE and its CPUTime is equal to 2147483647.

DBCC INPUTBUFFER(SPID) returns me that the last query is

'IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 COMMIT TRAN'.

I'm using jDTS driver to connect to Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2.

Why CPUTime is so high? Does it mean that some transactions weren't closed or something else?

Answer 1

This is the maximum value for a signed int32 and seems to be a default which Microsoft chose to stand in for an unknown/yet-to-be-determined CPU Time value. I have been excluding these from my performance related queries of sys.sysprocesses for years.

Try using sys.dm_exec_requests instead. It seems to handle these values for you as I've never seen this occur when using it.
