Cannot drop a thread pool when managing a cluster in Sybase Control Center.

You cannot drop a thread pool when managing clusters. Dropping a thread pool from symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) systems is not affected by this problem.

Workaround: Use isql or the Execute SQL tool in the SCC Administration Console to execute the drop thread pool command. The syntax is:

drop thread pool <thread pool name> for instance <instance name>

Sybase Control Center cannot authenticate Unified Agent 2.5, and thus cannot view the log file or start Adaptive Server.

You see this error:
User 'uafadmin' failed to authenticate with server 'ASE155x' agent.
Login failed: No successful loginmodules. Please check credentials.

Workaround: Use the new default password, Sybase4me, to authenticate Unified Agent. Sybase recommends that you change the default password immediately.

Instance level local engine group ID is not included in the generated DDL for an execution class.

The DDL output generated from a local engine group that has been bound to an execution class for a shared disk cluster does not include instance ID for the instance.

Workaround: Use sp_addexeclass from the Execute SQL view in the Administration Console.

  1. Close the monitor dialog view.
  2. Restart the Adaptive Server.
  3. Clear and reauthenticate the server.
  4. Open the monitor view for your resource.

618901 Authentication of Unified Agent for Adaptive Server 15.5 or earlier fails on Windows.
The attempt to authenticate the Sybase Control Center with the Unified Agent managing an Adaptive Server fails when all these conditions are met:
  • Adaptive Server version is 15.5 or earlier.
  • Adaptive Server is running on the Windows 32-bit or 64-bit platforms.
  • The Unified Agent is configured to use the NT login module.
  • You attempt to authenticate using the Windows login and password.

Workaround: Upgrade to Adaptive Server 15.5 ESD #1 or later.

With Adaptive Server 15.5 GA, use the Simple Login Module of the Unified Agent to maintain a local list of logins and passwords for each Unified Agent installation. When you use the Simple Login Module, you must encrypt the password values using the passencrypt utility that is part of the Unified Agent installation.
