How to See List of Processes Status in SAP [SM50]

In SAP, you can use SM50 transaction code to see the list of status of running work processes.

The following are the points we observe from SM50:

• No of each work processes like (Dialog, Background, Enqueue, Update, spool )
• What is the processes id for each work process
• Work process status, running or waiting
• IF any error is there , reported in Err field
• The field CPU show how much CPU time is consumed by the particular work process
• Time: It shows how long the work process is running
• Report: Which report is running currently by that work process
• Client: Specifies the client no for which this process is busy
• User: Specifies which user is running this report.
• Action: What exactly going on during this process
• Table: Which table is accessed during this process

The point to concentrate from SM50 is Process Status, time, client and user.
