history of Process info

i think i might a have a slight clue about this but need help...
in SQL Server Enterprise Manager -- Management -- Current Activity --
Process Info i can see the current info for SPIDs and users and all sorts of
great info.
How can i view that same info from yesterday at a specific time?
thanks a million.
You could use a log reader tool of which there are many to choose eg
Lumigent's LogExplorer.

BTW I'm assuming that you actually have the log as a backup, or have been
using full recovery mode. if you've used simple then this strategy won't
work for the particular transaction you're looking for.

High CPU usage help

Im at my wits end. The SQL server (SQL2000 using 2005 Studio to view )
activity log is showing several ProcessIDs that say "AWAITING COMMAND" and it
also says the Status is SLEEPING, However the CPU# is 235789 and the Phyical
I/O is 36345 and Memory is 912
So if the status is Sleeping and AWAITNG COMMAND, why are these numbers not
0? If its waiting it shouldnt be doing much of anything. Our SQL server will
just randomly start crawling

The information you are seeing is cumulative for that spid. It isnt what it
is using at that point in time, but those statistics are the resources used
for the life of that spid.
