Glance (block on ) / glance (stop reason )

[davidx]

I have been reviewing these two measurement tools and found one area that appears to be a bottleneck for client applications. Our application environment is HP UX running Sybase ASE. Our thin client application is written in Cognos Axiant.
When I receive calls indicating application performance problems I find application processes stop reason in SOCKT (Waiting for a socket operation to complete). Review of the performance tool help documentation is very limited. What is this metric reporting, a TCP/IP bottleneck ?, Unix Kernel bottleneck ?, Database Service bottleneck ?, etc. Any ideas on the tool to furhter define this wait state?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts
