SAP : Monitoring System-wide Work Processes
December 18th, 2010 / No Comments » / by sT*rchi1Ð
Monitoring System wide Work Processes (SM66):
We can quickly investigate the potential cause of a system performance problem by checking the work process load and can use the global work process overview to:
• Monitor the work process load on all active instances across the system
• Identify locks in the database (lock waits).
Using the Global Work Process Overview screen, we can see at a glance:
• The status of each application server
• The reason why it is not running
• Whether it has been restarted
• The CPU and request run time
• The user who has logged on and the client that they logged on to
• The report that is running
We record only those processes which are showing problems and not having running status.

Its been a month since I got my HTC Desire. Sometimes you want to take Screenshots, like to share your high scores in Doodle Jump on Social Networks, Taking screenshot on Android is not easy and requires low level OS access because of security reasons, for now there are only two ways to take screenshots on HTC Desire
1. Use a Rooted Phone, If you have rooted your phone you can use ShootMe app from market to take screenshots. I’ve not yet rooted my phone so I’ve to use other way.
2. Use Android Sdk and USB cable.
This method involves a few steps but once you’ve completed the setup, taking future screenshots is very easy.
