Hi,

I am having problems catching server messages with my python scripts.

Specifically, when I issue the command:

mount database all from 'manifest' with listonly

If I issue this in an isql prompt I get a big list of all the devices in the manifest file, but I am having problems accessing this information with my python script.

If I use the sybpydb module, the information ends up in connection.messages, but from what I have gathered, sybpydb requires SYBASE to be installed, which is not viable as I am writing a client and not every user will have a valid Sybase installation.

I have been trying with a regular ODBC driver, which works fine except that I am unable to access system messages, such as the output from the mount command above.

Anyone have any ideas or tips?

Dear all,

I am attempting to install an ASE server on a Solaris 11.2 machine (sun4v) but I am getting the following error:

-bash-4.1$ ./setup
InstallShield Wizard

Initializing InstallShield Wizard...

Searching for Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
Bad System Call (core dumped)

When I ask for more details from the core file generated after the setup fails, I get:

Would you have any idea about the problem I am facing here? Seems like the system call access cannot be found and someone told me I should try on Solaris 10? Do you confirm that? Is ASE 12.5.4 incompatible with Solaris 11?

What do you suggest? I URGENTLY need to install an ASE 12.5.4 on a Solaris system.. Thanks for your help

Regards,

Hi, I've been testing LDAP logins with an ASE16 server, and we've been seeing some strange behaviour: If I set up an ASE login with ASE pwd pass123 and LDAP is enabled, and the user logins with their Windows account with pwd Win123, it seems that the Windows password overwrites the ASE password. i.e. if I turn off LDAP afterwards and the user tries to login with their ASE login, it requires pwd Win123.

Is this expected behaviour?

thanks

We attempted an upgrade from 15.7 SP122 to SP132 but we experienced a problem with trigger permissions.

Case :

     Table A     in DB1 has a trigger which fires a      delete from      Table B in DB2

     All databases, tables and triggers are owned by user 1

After the upgrade to SP132, we updated table A and the trigger fails with

          DELETE permission denied on object B, database DB2, owner dbo

We extracted the trigger definition from the database and reloaded it.

We ran the updated on table A again and the process was successful.

We have a few triggers and this didn't affect all of them so far so seems like a glitch somewhere.

We're due to try the upgrade on another server so we'll be able to test this before and after the upgrade.

Dear Experts,

I was trying to install ASE 16 on RHEL 6.5 using VMware 11 interface on a windows 8.1 platform (Laptop)

Software downloaded from SAP service market place

--Received following errors

Product configuration failed

A serious bug has been found in 15.7 SP133 and higher (currently SP134 is the only higher release).

The problem is seen when (or after) loading a transaction log dump that contains log records for a reorg rebuild with online command.  The known symptoms are either a 3475 error "During redo the page timestamp value is less than old timestamp from log. ..." during recovery of the load transaction, or error 2503 "Table Corrupt: Page linkage is not consistent" reported running dbcc checktable or dbcc checkdb following load transaction.

Recommendation:

Do not use reorg rebuild with online until an SP containing a fix for this bug has been released and you have upgraded to it.  (Development is currently working on a fix, but it is not yet available).  The regular reorg rebuild can still be run, the problem is limited to the with online option.

It is also possible to avoid the issue by downgrading ASE to a version lower than 15.7 SP133.  However, this option is not particularly recommended as SP133/134 contain security fixes.

KBA 2158634 http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2168684 has been published containing this same information.  You can subscribe to the KBA to be automatically notified when the CR is fixed. I will also update this thread when I become aware the CR is fixed.

We've upgraded from 15.7 SP122 to 15.7 SP134.

However, 3 days after the upgrade we're seeing a lot of these messages in the log.

00:0023:00000:02175:2015/05/16 12:23:06.53 server Error: 2805, Severity: 18, State: 43 
00:0023:00000:02175:2015/05/16 12:23:06.53 server Bad pointer 0x0xffff0000 encountered while remapping stored procedure ' Invalid pointer param number 3, pointer value 0x(nil) '. Must re-create procedure. 

It says we need to re-create the proc - but there is no inidication of which proc to re-create ?

We have lots of these errors in the log - so it could be one proc or many. How do we find out ?

Luckily we've only upgraded a test server, how do we minimise these problems when rolling it out to live servers ?

Hi community.

I'm interested about the RoadMap for ASE Cluster Edition 16. I know that with ASE CE I can't read and/or write in the same objects of database simultaneously in each node as I understand that Oracle RAC does . What is the position of SAP about this topic?

Thanks for your answers.

Christian!

We're trying to load up numeric values using C# ADO driver into fields of type numeric (38,8)

In C# we're using Decimal which supports precision upto 28. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/364x0z75.aspx

However, the C# ADO drivers for Sybase only support up to precision 26 even thought the database does.

As soon as you use precision > 26 you get the error message "Data overflow. Increase specified column size or buffer size"

(looks similar to this issue ADO.NET data provider supports max precision of 26 numbers in decimals #toadworld)

We've checked the drivers and the check exists in all the SDK releases up to SP130 and the value 26 is hard coded in the drivers.

Why the limitation ?

How can data be loaded into numeric(38,8) using C# ?

Is it fixed in later SDKs

Sybase version: Adaptive Server Enterprise/15.7.0/EBF 22639 SMP SP52 /P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.10/ase157sp5x/3293/64-bit/FBO/Wed May 21 02:49:14 2014

Hi community,

I'm using sqsh to connect to my dataserver

I want to drop a database -- after rebooting my dataserver -- but the command failed because it seems somebody is using it

1> drop database ANDREAS_20150511

2> go

Msg 3702, Level 16, State 14

Server 'NY423ZN', Line 1

Cannot drop the database 'ANDREAS_20150511' because it is currently in use.

But when I do a 'sp_who' I cannot see any connection into it

1> sp_who

2> go | grep ANDREAS_20150511

1>

How can I find out my guilty connection? How can I drop it

Just to add an exotic thing. I'm working on migration project and my task is to fine-tune the system to make them fast.

One option I'm trying is to have my log segment on a ram-disk (I know, very dangerous) just for the time of the conversion. As soon as the conversion is finished, I reload my DB on disk devices.

My database has indeed one of its device on a ram-disk so I understand it's no usable anymore but I just want to get rid-off it.

How can I proceed?

Thanks

Simon

Hi All,

I'm handling about customer's issue that has a problem with disappearing a dataserver.

Once when I restart a server, dataserver is operating properly.
So, at the moment before 20 minutes user can login to server.

But, after about 20 minutes the server has been disappeared automatically.

Accordingly, user can't connect to not only a server directly but also through by SAPGUI.

There was no process which can be started to kill the server.
In addition, there was no history in error log file.

Nobody, execute a kill command.

Have you ever seen that before?

If you have, please let me know about that.

Server Version : 15.7 EBF 24258 SMP SP133 for Linux 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure where to post this as it applies to all the SAP products.

Hi all,

Every time SAP comes out with a new set of pdf manuals, the meta data has to be corrected.  Often the stored titles, description, etc are wildly wrong.  Very sloppy and unprofessional for a mega corp the size of SAP.

The ePub book format has been out for many years and has many features that make it tablet, phone, PC, whatever friendly.  Reading a SAP manual at night?  No problem, change the font color to white on black so you don't wake your spouse.  The font is too small?  No problem, choose a larger or different font.  You can't do any of that with a PDF.  Try reading the ASE Admin guides on a 4" iPhone.  I dare you.  You might as well pour salt in your eye sockets.

A leap second will be inserted at the end of June.

(used NTP to sync the time)

Any SAP notes talk about this?

Will leap second impact ASE?

Is the following ASE message relay?

Warning: The internal timer is not progressing. If this messages is generated multiple times, report to Sybase Technical Support and restart the server(alarminterval=-577028)

Since 15.0.x ASE comes with handy PC MDAs - monProcedureCacheMemoryUsage and monProcedureCacheModuleUsage.  Both are "essential" in sizing the PC correctly - and analyzing PC behavior for your application & ASE.  There counters are very nice but... over time they become user-un-friendly.

Both counters are not absolute point-in-time sample values but rather grow over time.  But if they grow - what do they show?

• Active (for ModuleUsage) must show "Number of memory pages (2K) currently allocated to this module".
• HWM show "The maximum number of memory pages allocated since the server was started."

There may be further broken down into sub-allocators.

You'd expect Active to indicate the sample value from the point-of-time of inspection and HWM to indicate the number of memory pages since the startup (i.e. relative to the DaysRunning from the monState).  Yet, both behave in the same cumulative manner and both yield useless values if divided into daily portions and compared to say monitorconfig.   The same applies to the reuse values packed into these tables.

Anyone tried to make sense of these values?   They are essential in configuring PC on the one hand but accumulate over time on the other (and exceed PC size in hundreds of % + are marked as indicator&1).   What do these in fact display?  How do they relate to monitorconfig?  When you restart ASE (or play with these on your private ASE) the numbers seem to make sense.  When you analyze them on the real production environment - they only mislead (as does the sysmon bit in the Indicator column related to them).  

Any insights?

Thanks,

Andrew

ps.  PERFORMANCE SCALABILITY ENHANCEMENTS IN SAP ADAPTIVE SERVER® ENTERPRISE has a neat section on PC sizing which, too, rely on monProcedureCacheModuleUsage.  However, the values are taken as simple aggregates - without any respect to their cumulative nature.  Was ASE bounced to take correct measurement?  How reliable are the HWM/Reuse numbers in that paper?

hi guys!

I test the system for SMP/P/Sun_svr4/OS 5.10/ase160sp01plx/3663/64-bit Adaptive Server Enterprise/16.0 SP01 PL01/EBF 24357 versions.

And during some time frame I receive very high cpu values.

I assumed that it is a spinlock but when I сhecked mon tables I don't find some high values.

I don't understand why values Engine Utilization (Tick %)  & Thread Utilization (OS %) so strongly differ?

What different between Engine Utilization (Tick %) & Thread Utilization (OS %) in sysmon?

Also I noted that in comparison with last sample very grew value   NetController Activity  - Polls          & NetController Activity  -Polls Returning Events/

with 1000 up to 30000.

What does it mean?

When updating a model from the db the window listing them doesn't have them sorted. I've only seen this problem with ASE. How do I get them sorted?

I have two windows 2003 hosts that are each running ASE 12.5

I want to setup a windows 2003 cluster, where the storage and networking for host1 are in an "app" I can fail over to either box.. same for host 2 ("app2")  This means that if one box goes down the sybase from it will fail over and run from the 2nd box..  at that point TWO SQLSERVER.EXEs will be running on the same host ... is this config possible with the 12.5 version?

Just trying to remove single points of failure as cheap as possible...

-Ken

..and yes.... we are upgrading versions in a separate project which will take over a year to complete..

Introducing ASE Cockpit

ASE Cockpit is planned to be a new User Interface (or Tooling) component for ASE, and is planned to be released in 2015.

The User Interface (or Tooling) of ASE Cockpit will manage ASE. It is targeted as an essential companion tool for a Database Administrator (DBA) of ASE. In comparative terms, ASE Cockpit release in 2015 will be to ASE as:

1. HANA Cockpit released in Q4 2014 is to HANA
2. IQ Cockpit released in Q2 2014 is to IQ
3. ESP Cockpit released in Q2 2014 is to ESP
   

The "Cockpit" approach is being adopted and launched by several SAP Database products as a concerted approach to simplified and unified tooling. There are several underlying characteristics of these Cockpits, some of which we will address below. (All possible angles of this vast topic have not been covered in this blog. But a few more blogs are planned in future, that may eventually do justice to this topic.)

Is ASE Cockpit somehow related to DBA Cockpit?

No, ASE Cockpit is different from DBA Cockpit. They share the same suffix "Cockpit", but their scope (or roles) are different.

DBA Cockpit (and Solution Manager) are distributed with SAP Business Suite (or SAP Netweaver stack) products, and not distributed with ASE standalone database.

Furthermore, DBA Cockpit is meant to be used by a System Administrator (SA) to manage the underlying databases in the context of the SAP Business Applications that are using that database, and not necessarily the detailed database management that is typically required of a DBA. ASE Cockpit, on the other hand, is intended and targeted for the tasks and roles of the DBAs of SAP ASE.

To summarize, both ASE Cockpit and DBA Cockpit have their role to play, have some functionality overlaps, and are planned to continue. They each will still focus, position and align on their unique scope for their intended role or persona.

One ASE Cockpit for One ASE Server (1:1)

The term "Cockpit" signifies a "console" that can directly operate the device or server that it was installed with. This implies, there is a 1:1 association of an ASE Cockpit with its ASE Server. This is just like the 1:1 association of an Airplane "Cockpit" with its aircraft. So, the ASE Cockpit to ASE Server relationship across several instances of ASE Servers will be as follows:

1. ASE Cockpit #1 will manage ASE Server instance #1
2. ASE Cockpit #2 will manage ASE Server instance #2
3. ASE Cockpit #3 will manage ASE Server instance #3
4. so on ...

This is similar to how Cockpits for HANA and IQ operate with their deployed Servers as well. See the diagram below that shows ASE Cockpits 1:1 association alongside other SAP Databases that also have their Cockpits.

Figure: Illustration of Cockpits of ASE, HANA and IQ

The release vehicle for a Cockpit component will be their Server product. And the same is true of ASE Cockpit that will be released with ASE releases.

ASE Cockpit up-and-ready with minimal setup

Cockpits across SAP Database products are providing an experience of readiness; i.e., Cockpit gets installed by default with its Server product, and is up-and-running to manage the Server it was deployed with. The same is true of ASE Cockpit. As soon as the ASE Server is installed (or deployed), its ASE Cockpit is expected to be able to manage it with minimum additional steps.

Compare this expectation of simplicity in ASE Cockpit with that of SAP Control Center (SCC) 3 for ASE. SCC 3 requires a separate installation after ASE was installed, a separate start of the SCC 3 service, separate registration of ASE Servers, separate registration of Agents, assigning the ASE Servers to appropriate perspectives, etc. Many of these steps have either been eliminated or simplified in ASE Cockpit.

For further clarity on platform and version compatibility of Cockpits; note that a Cockpit is co-located with its deployed Server instance. This means a Cockpit supports the same machine, version and platform of Server with which it was installed or deployed. This is going to be true of ASE Cockpit as well; in that the ASE Cockpit is going to be co-located on the same machine+version+platform as its ASE Server instance. For comparison, SCC 3 for ASE was supported on fewer platforms than ASE, whereas ASE Cockpit is planned to support every platform its ASE release vehicle (or version) supports.

What happens to SCC 3 for ASE going forward?

SAP's direction is to invest in Cockpit approach going forward for its Database products. For the ASE releases that provide ASE Cockpit, SCC 3 for ASE may not be packaged in that ASE release.

SCC 3 for ASE will still be supported for previous ASE releases that are in support. In a transition phase of introducing and launching ASE Cockpit, where ASE Cockpit adoption and migration from SCC 3 take place, SAP will monitor and review the needs of existing SCC 3 for ASE customers.

Thoughts?

Please call or write to us with your inputs and feedback on this plan/direction. A lot of these changes have come from the feedback we have received in the past, e.g., to simplify installation, setup and configuration for SCC 3 before you can get started to manage ASE with it.

We want to emphasize that the launch of the ASE Cockpit will just be the first step in our intended continuous process of innovations for ASE Tooling. And your inputs and requests would shape the requirements for our future tooling releases. Please contact us if you are interested in a Design Partner type engagement on ASE Tooling.

We understand and appreciate that each such transition or migration is not effortless, despite our best attempts and planning to make it simpler. Yet we believe we are heading down this path because we believe this will be the better, simpler, aligned, and unified plan across our SAP Database stack further down the path.
