Re: Need HELP with Deadlocks

Is there some tool out there that will parse this trace file, or how or what do I look for in the trace file to determine the deadlock. Here is part of the trace file.
Deadlock graph:

                       ---------Blocker(s)--------  ---------Waiter(s)--
-------
Resource Name          process session holds waits  process session
holds waits
TX-001e0013-0000063d        73     116     X             33
87           S
TX-000b0076-0000b2d2        33      87     X             73
116           S

Rows waited on:
Session 87: no row
Session 116: no row

To me, it appears that a row is not being waited on, it might be some sort of resource. Anyone have any other ideas?
