I can't see any mixed qualifiers and its not easy to reproduce - seems to happen when the server is under heavy load.

 

Looking at the procedure cache I've noticed something odd with this entry in monProcedureCacheMemoryUsage

Could the 2 things be related ?

What is the MEMC_CRCONSTR_1  ( Sounds like creating a constraint).

How to capture database auto expansion event that is triggered by Sybase ASE ?

Hi All,

 

I'm back , I was very glad when retrieving a lot of extremely useful information in my previous post (How do I get the spid of Sybase when using JDBC). I did apply for my project and it has worked perfectly, thank so much for your supports. Today, I come back with some questions about Sybase device and database auto expansion functionality. Hopefully we will have an interesting discussion on this, and then we can find a good solution for my situation. Here is the questions:

 

1. Can we remove a device without deleting database first ? As far as I know, a device ( physical file on Operating System level ) is the first thing that need to be created before we do another things, such: creating segment, partition, create/alter database ....  Over the time, the data in database will grow more and more bigger, and we need to create a new device to store the data. But we also want to remove old device because it no longer uses, the only way to remove the old device is to delete database first and then removing the device. That is impossible for my product, I did google the solution and there is a suggestion about removing record in sysdevices and sysdatabase tables, but I'm not sure that will be good approach. Would you please share me your idea about this ?

 

2. Can we capture the database auto expansion event that is triggered by Sybase ASE ? I'm using the Database Auto Expansion functionality, that is provided by Sybase ASE ($SYBASE_HOME/ASE-15_0/scripts/installdbextend). When enabling this function, we can set the threshold, max device size and growth rate for a specific device. And then Sybase ASE will trigger automatically if threshold is reached, the only way to know the event has occurred or not via Sybase log file  ($SYBASE_HOME/ASE-15_0/install/<Database_Name>.log). I need to know when the event occurs for notification purpose, if you have any ideas on this, please share with me. I really appreciate !!!

 

Thanks

Hello All

 

We use an reporting solution which uses SYBASE ASE for management data and SYBASE IQ for reporting data.

While launching the reports we are finding the reports are loading very slow when multiple users are connected.

 

We have 8 CPU cores and 48 GB Physical memory running on RHEL Linux 6.x on VM environment.

 

SYBASE IQ database file system is mounted on SAN drive and is been accessed as cluster file system.

 

Sybase IQ db version is,

 

Sybase IQ/15.4.0.3046/141204/P/ESD 5/Enterprise Linux64 - x86_64 - 2.6.18-194.el5/64bit/2014-12-04 17:24:15

 

We checked and found that number of user connections supported are not more than 50 by sybase IQ, so we installed
an IQ patch which will increase the number of user connections.

 

Even after that we saw slight increase in performance, but it did not fit our requirements.

 

Attached SYBASE.cfg file and our IQ DB startup parameters are,

 

-gc 20

-gd all

-gl all

-cl 256m -ch 1024m

-gm 100

-gp 4096

-ti 10

-iqgovern 20

-gn 100

-iqnumbercpus 8

-iqmt 1024

-iqtraceflags 2

-iqmc 26624

-iqtc 13312

-s local1

-p 16000

-iqmsgsz 32

-iqmsgnum 2

-zr SQL

-zs 33554432

 

Had attached SYBASE ASE sp_sysmon output.

 

This test has been performed with 5 users.

 

I am not sure how to trace SYBASE IQ, but sp_iqconnection call gives 32 rows, which should mean 31 connections are made to SYBASE IQ db.

 

Please let us know how to further fine-tune SYBASE ASE and IQ database.

 

Thanks

Ramesh

Hi Everybody,

 

 

Do you know if exist any benchmarks test between ASE on Solaris ZFS vs ASE on Solaris UFS?

 

 

Which one is the best option for an ASE server with HA configuration?

 

 

I found the SAP note 1878876, and there it says UFS is better choice for performance, but on HA Configuration is the same consideration?

 

 

Thanks in advance

Prevent ASE from overriding trans logs ..

Hi guys,

 

I'm using ASE since few month and have set up an environment with a PRD and a SDB.

With scripting I'm able to load the trans logs automatically into the SDB.

 

At the moment we are in the preparation phase of the EHP and got a strange issue, ASE has overridden a trans log, but it was created at a different time:

 

Dump history of PRD:

Nov 19 2015 11:25:18:826AM \\BACKUP\backup\PRD\log_archives\PRD.TRAN.20151119.112054.000

Nov 19 2015 11:25:22:826AM \\BACKUP\backup\PRD\log_archives\PRD.TRAN.20151119.112054.000

 

It looks like ASE had a problem at this moment and has written both after coming back into normal state ..

 

So SDB is missing the first created trans log and I had to rebuild the SDB from a fresh database backup.

But now I'm searching for a solution that this never happens again, but I don't find anything to prevent ASE from this issue!

 

Any idea?

 

 

Environment:

Dear Experts,

 

In our environment we are dumping the database(full)to multiple stripes.After the entire dump gets completed, how can we find the size of the dump and where we can see the size exactly? Ideally, I am considering the size of dump that happened from backup server error file. Please let me know in case of any other ways to find out the dump size once the dump gets completed.

Hi,

 

I am new to Sybase and have been tasked with undertaking a proof of concept to move an existing Sybase installation (12.5.3) running on Solaris 9 to Sybase (16.0) running on Windows.

 

I have created the new Sybase instance and have managed to successfully convert a number of the user databases however I am getting an error (3422) on one particular database (see log attached).

 

Any suggestions? BTW - we do not have a current support contract so I am not able to raise an incident

 

Thanks,

Paul

Hi,

 

function-based index not work on ASE15.7 sp132, its normal on sp100.

 

Here's the sample:

create table aaa ( a1 int , a2 int , a3 char(1000))

go

 

declare @cnt int

select @cnt = 1

while @cnt < 1001

     begin

          insert into aaa values ( @cnt , @cnt , "aaa")

          select @cnt = @cnt + 1

     end

go

 

update aaa set a3="aba" where a1 = 3

go

 

create index idx_aaa on aaa ( a1*a2 )

go

select * from aaa where a1*a2=333

go

==> will use index_aaa and logical reads is 2

 

 

create index idx_aaa1 on aaa ( substring(a3,2,1) )

go

select * from aaa where substring(a3,2,1)="b"

go

==> table scan and logical reads is 334

 

all these index will work on ASE15.7 sp100

 

any idea?

Hi Team Good afternoon We currently have a JOB that runs UIS using sampling = 30 and is failing on a table that has 293412179 rows and one CI Error - the tempdb is full for the DB maintenance  a.c which is mapped to the DBA tempdb Can't allocate space for object 'temp worktable' in database 'DBA_tempdb' because 'system' segment is full/has no free extents. If you ran out of space in syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE to increase the size of the segment. When we run the same job using sampling = 10 it works fine. Question What are the risk associated with changing the sampling ? Will that impact the query plans for the app using that table ? -Sid

Running a stored proc simultaneously a large number of times (> 150) I get the message

 

"The configure size for data cache (tempdb_cache1) is not sufficient to handle the sort buffers (4005) requested. Please reconfigure the data cache or sort buffers and try the command again.

Server:SDB_SQL Proc:GetEIDS Line:0 Severity:17 MessageNbr:1526"

 

I'm confused about the message what the correction action is.

 

I thought sort buffers were part of the procedure caches

 

    select * from monProcedureCacheModuleUsage

 

     InstanceID ModuleID    Active      HWM         NumPagesReused ModuleName

     ---------- ----------- ----------- ----------- -------------- ------------------------------

              0          11         463       68511              0 Sort

 

yet the message implies the the data cache is too small.

 

What's the relationship between data cache and sort buffers ?

 

We have

    "number of sort buffers" at 1000.

    "procedure cache size" at 19Gb

     tempdb_cache1           at 25Gb

 

sp_monitorconfig "all"

shows procedure cache hasn't run out but has reached 87% used (which is about the max we can deal with anyway)

 

Name                      Num_free    Num_active  Pct_act Max_Used    Reuse_cnt   Instance_Name

------------------------- ----------- ----------- ------- ----------- ----------- ------------------------------

procedure cache size          6182350     2521650  28.97      7487767       59073 NULL

 

 

From Simon Ogdens conversations, I'm inclined to think we need more procedure cache.

Or should I look at the data cache and sort buffers.

My concern is waitevent 215 (waiting for run queue after sleep).  I understand that there is physical io going on here (events 29,51,52,55), but why the 315 seconds of waiting on single event of 215 (run queue), followed by 171 seconds (with waits=0, weird)?   This is a single SQL statement updating a TEXT field, and taking around 5 minutes (holding locks) to complete.  Are the physical io's of event 29 simply amplifying event 215 numbers?  Hoping to get an MDA mad scientist's input here
