Finding Source of Query Blocking

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Started a custom AIF process this morning that updates a bit of data, and it was being blocked by something continuously running the query shown below.  The spid that was blocking also blocked reindexes on LedgerJournalTrans last night, so whatever it is doing it is taking forever.  The queries it is running finish in less than a second, so it's not just getting hung up due to indexing issues.  After killing the spid, I got the following in the event log showing that it was one of the workers running under the service account.

Object Server 01:  The database reported (session 50 (Admin)): [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0]Communication link failure. The SQL statement was: "SELECT TOP 1 T1.RECVERSION,T1.PARTITION,T1.RECID FROM tempdb."DBO".t1052_832587F2C1354323A8EDE43628AD050E T1 WHERE (((PARTITION=?) AND (DATAAREAID=?)) AND ((?=?) AND (?=?)))"

So how would one go about finding what this worker was doing that was locking LedgerJournalTrans for hours upon end?

Thanks!

    RE: Finding Source of Query Blocking

    Thanks for the reply.  It was blocking an update to LedgerJournalTrans.

    The SQL Server session information was telling me is that it was that spid blocking, and that query was showing up as the last query run by that spid.  So my only thought is that it started a transaction and never finished it, and then it was running this other query (over and over).  So that query may not be blocking it, but an open transaction by the spid that was running that query.  So I need to track down what code that worker was executing if that's possible, or set something up so that if it happens again I can trace it back to find what is causing it to lock the table for hours.  No batches running in that timeframe...

    Are you sure it's this query? It basically says:

    select firstOnly LedgerJournalTrans where Voucher == {something}

    What resource did it lock?

    Nevertheless this can't take too much time anyway - the delay would be caused by something happening later in the same transaction, preventing the lock from being released.
