Identifying heavy-usage users

Before you implement resource limits, run sp_reportstats. The output from this procedure will help you identify the users with heavy system usage. For example:

sp_reportstats
Name    Since         CPU     Percent CPU  I/O     Percent I/O
------  -----------   -----   ------------ -----   -------------
probe   jun 19 1993   0       0%           0       0%
julie   jun 19 1993   10000   24.9962%     5000    24.325%
jason   jun 19 1993   10002   25.0013%     5321    25.8866%
ken     jun 19 1993   10001   24.9987%     5123    24.9234%
kathy   jun 19 1993   10003   25.0038%     5111    24.865%

Total CPU   Total I/O
---------   ---------
40006       20555

The output above indicates that usage is balanced among the users. For more information on chargeback accounting, see “cpu accounting flush interval” and “i/o accounting flush interval”.
