Because event 250 occurs before Adaptive Server processes each command from a client, the number of Waits and WaitTime may typically be high.

You can use event 250 to estimate how many requests the server has handled from clients.

A high WaitTime value for this event can indicate a large number of idle client connections, or that some client connections remain idle for a long period of time. This wait event can occur between batches or commands sent by the client application, so the Waits value may be high if applications submit a large number of separate commands or batches.
