Message text

FATAL Error: Asynchronous logging server is stopped. You may have to terminate the user connections which may be hanging.

Explanation

Action

Kill the user connections. If the connections are not killed, restart Adaptive Server, which will roll back the incomplete database transactions. Please contact Sybase Technical Support to report this problem.
