How can I monitor user activity in Vantage?

That is perfect. Thank you SO much. I can't believe that Epicor didn't tell me about that.

What tools are available for me to monitor user activity in Vantage (8.03.305, Progress)?

We occaisionally have processes that appear to be "stuck", when in fact they are probably waiting in a queue to run. How can I see that? I previously used an AS/400 and was able to run commands to see what users were doing, adjust their CPU or job priority, re-arrange work in a work queue, etc.

Thanks,
Darlene
I have asked Epicor the same question lots of times. The support staff thinks it would be helpful to have such a tool also.

There are tools in SQL server, but it would be nice if Epicor would provide something easy to use.

We previously used a VMS application. You could easily see the processes that users were running to the screen level in the application. You could also easily see server process usage by user.

Since you are Progress you will have to stick with BAQ's. Create yourself a Dashboard and look primarily at the SysTask table. With a little creativity you can create a comprehensive dashboard monitoring all the ongoing tasks.

Here's the SQL query and you can at least get an idea. I made this a view in SQL and hit it from the intranet with ASP and I just keep it up on my monitor all day. It's a little fancy, but you'll get the idea.


select
top 500
systasknum as 'Task ID',
(case datepart(dw,startdate)
when 1 then 'SUN '
when 2 then 'MON '
when 3 then 'TUE '
when 4 then 'WED '
when 5 then 'THR '
when 6 then 'FRI '
when 7 then 'SAT '
end ) +
Upper(convert(varchar(15),startdate,107)) as 'Start Date',
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),(((starttime)/60)/60))),2) + ':' +
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),convert(int,60*(((convert(decimal(15,10),starttime)/60)/60) - ((starttime/60)/60))))),2)
as 'Start Time',
case endtime
when 0 then (datediff(s, convert(varchar(10),getdate(),1)+ ' ' + '00:00:00.000', getdate())) - starttime
else endtime - starttime
end as 'Seconds Elapsed',
Upper(taskdescription) as 'Task',
taskstatus as 'Status',
Replace(Upper(submituser), '.', ' ') as 'User',
Case lastactivitytime
when 0 then ' N/A '
else
Upper(
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),(((lastactivitytime)/60)/60))),2) + ':' +
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),convert(int,60*(((convert(decimal(15,10),lastactivitytime)/60)/60) - ((lastactivitytime/60)/60))))),2)
+ ' @ ' + convert(varchar(15),lastactivitydate,107)
)
end as 'Last Activity Stamp',

Are the column titles that this thing spits out



Task ID

Start Date

Start Time

Seconds Elapsed

Task

Status

User

Last Activity Stamp



I'm going to use it in a VB and I will need to know the column titles. And
since there is no way to test SQL on the db I'm just going by your code.

Since you are Progress you will have to stick with BAQ's. Create yourself a
Dashboard and look primarily at the SysTask table. With a little creativity
you can create a comprehensive dashboard monitoring all the ongoing tasks.

Here's the SQL query and you can at least get an idea. I made this a view in
SQL and hit it from the intranet with ASP and I just keep it up on my
monitor all day. It's a little fancy, but you'll get the idea.

select
top 500
systasknum as 'Task ID',
(case datepart(dw,startdate)
when 1 then 'SUN '
when 2 then 'MON '
when 3 then 'TUE '
when 4 then 'WED '
when 5 then 'THR '
when 6 then 'FRI '
when 7 then 'SAT '
end ) +
Upper(convert(varchar(15),startdate,107)) as 'Start Date',
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),(((starttime)/60)/60))),2) + ':' +
right(('00' +
convert(varchar(2),convert(int,60*(((convert(decimal(15,10),starttime)/60)/6
0) - ((starttime/60)/60))))),2)
as 'Start Time',
case endtime
when 0 then (datediff(s, convert(varchar(10),getdate(),1)+ ' ' +
'00:00:00.000', getdate())) - starttime
else endtime - starttime
end as 'Seconds Elapsed',
Upper(taskdescription) as 'Task',
taskstatus as 'Status',
Replace(Upper(submituser), '.', ' ') as 'User',
Case lastactivitytime
when 0 then ' N/A '
else
Upper(
right(('00' + convert(varchar(2),(((lastactivitytime)/60)/60))),2) + ':' +
right(('00' +
convert(varchar(2),convert(int,60*(((convert(decimal(15,10),lastactivitytime
)/60)/60) - ((lastactivitytime/60)/60))))),2)
+ ' @ ' + convert(varchar(15),lastactivitydate,107)
)
end as 'Last Activity Stamp',
from systask
order by systasknum desc

I have asked Epicor the same question lots of times. The support staff
thinks it would be helpful to have such a tool also.

There are tools in SQL server, but it would be nice if Epicor would provide
something easy to use.

We previously used a VMS application. You could easily see the processes
that users were running to the screen level in the application. You could
also easily see server process usage by user.
