Dear All,
Have a job on a server in which it executes a stored procedure that is present in other linked server; now this job's time -frame is taking more than 2 hours to get completed.
The query text that is calling this specific stored procedure in the linked server is :
EXEC Linkeservername.[Tabelname].[dbo].[SP name] @ScalarVariable name.
Need a query in which i need to find out what query text the above sp is executing that is taking longer time to complete.
Any help on it will be appreciated !
Regards,
Adil

Do you have any control on LinkedServer and is it a SQL SERVER ? If yes then you can use sp_whoisactive SQL Server Monitoring Stored Procedure by Adam Machanic
Please read the complete documentation for more detail in the link.
Hope it helps.
Note: This needed to be deployed on the LinkedServer

Yeah we have controls over the linked server, unfortunately we cannot deploy a new procedure since it is a high maintained Production server and have to get through lots of management permissions to deploy the same.

Is there any alternative way to find it or something like a simple T-SQL Query which i can run over the server to find it.

Adil

Work with the DBAs for the Prod server and ask for their help.

You're not actually using a [Tablename] instead of a [Databasename} are you?

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
