Hi,

I have one process in that is in wait state since last 2 weeks. In process type it shows MSQL_XP. It is system background process run by sa. It is right now trying to execute sp. It may be external sp. I don't know what it is doing right now. But it is in wait state for last 2 weeks. It is also consuming cpu. In cpu consumption column in activity monitor it is on the top. I want to remove/delete this process. Please let me know how to handle this situation?

Thanks

Get the session_id/SPID from the report and KILL it (e.g. spid 101):

KILL 101
