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.

How To: Force move to SD on Froyo without Rooting
October 8th, 2010 / 6 Comments » / by Faizan
One 
of major issues with android phones (except the new HTC Desires) is that they are low on internal phone memory, like my HTC Desire comes with around 100 MB free internal storage out of which only 15MB is free right now. With loads of new app coming everyday there must be a way to install install Apps to SD card. With Froyo implementation of Move to SD you cannot move all apps to SD card, in order to move an app to SD card app developer must specify it explicitly during development and most of apps still lack that option.
In order to force Move to SD Card your phone must be running Froyo and ADB drivers must be installed on your system.
