How to indentify my SPID from SQL SERVER in order to kill it?

Dear all,

I am not able to see my process. This process has been raised from AOT inside AX, it is just an export all the tables tree.

How can I distinguish amongst other running processes up?

Filtering by the following hostname I find lots of connections.

SELECT * FROM SYS.SYSPROCESSES
WHERE SPID > 50
AND hostname = 'CH001AOS01T'

    Look at Finding User Sessions from SPID in Dynamics AX 2012.

    Thanks for your reply Martin. My concern is when you read this:

    [...]has a small performance overhead

    is there no another way to grasp who is who by using some DMVs or DMO?

    In Dynamics AX 2012, information about the user sessions can be directly included in the SQL connection context. Adding  this information has a small performance overhead. Therefore, it is not turned on by default. To include user session information in the connection context perform the following steps:

    1.Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dynamics Server\6.0\01\Original (installed configuration). The last key, Original (installed configuration), is the key name for the current server configuration. If your system uses a different configuration that the original installed configuration, navigate to the currently active configuration.

    2.Create a string registry value called ‘connectioncontext’ and set the value to 1.

    3.Restart the AOS.

    Next open SQL Server Management Studio and run the following query to look at all the sessions related to Microsoft Dynamics AX:

    What's connecting to SQL Server is the AOS account - SQL Server has no information about AX users unless AX explicitly sends such information. That's what the parameter enables.
