DORMANT Status

  • I'm executing sp_who2 on a server and seeing the status of one of the processes as DORMANT. What is DORMANT and why would a process show as such?

    Thanks

  •  

    Same as Sleeping, except Dormant also indicates that the SPID has been reset after completing an RPC event. The reset cleans up resources used during the RPC event. This is a normal state and the SPID is available and waiting to execute further commands. 

     

    bye

  • that makes sense...usually I see this status when remote calls are made through the linked server....

    thanks for your reply....
