Monitoring Servers and Work Processes in SAP Basis

Use

When an operation mode has been switched, you can see in the process overview whether the work process types have been changed correctly.
Procedure
To monitor the work processes on your current application server:

From the R/3 initial screen, choose Tools ® Administration ® Monitor ® System monitoring ® Process overview. Alternatively, call Transaction SM50.
The system displays an overview of the work processes for the server you have logged onto.
The information for each work process is displayed in a line. The Ty. column shows the work process type: for example, DIA is a dialog process, BTC is a background process.
To monitor the work processes on a different application server:

From the R/3 initial screen, choose Tools ® Administration ® Monitor ® System monitoring ® Servers. Alternatively, call Transaction SM51.
The system displays a list of the R/3 servers. To display the processes for a particular server, position the cursor on the line containing the server name, then choose Processes.
