Known Issues for Adaptive Server

Known issues and workarounds for Sybase Control Center for Adaptive Server.

Change Request Number Description
738905-2 When dump history is enabled for an Adaptive Server resource and numerous dumps are created with the same dump name, multiple instances of that dump name appear when Explicit dump device is selected when you specify Dump Devices in the Restore Database Wizard.

Workaround: None.

738657 The authentication process does not time out when you try to authenticate an Adaptive Server resource which is not responding. Instead you get a busy cursor in the authentication dialog, which does not go away.

Workaround: Cancel the authentication and try again when you know the server is responding.

729529 bcp operations may not work from Sybase Control Center for tables and views in an Adaptive Server running on a Linux platform.

Workaround: On the Linux host where Adaptive Server is running, perform one of the following:

  • Set SELINUX from enforcing to permissive or disabled

  • Change the default security context for $SYBASE/OCS-15_0 with:
    chcon –R –t textrel_shlib_t $SYBASE/OCS-15_0
710398

After you create a new instance in an Adaptive Server cluster using the Sybase Control Center Administration Console, the new instance status may display incorrectly and all options in the Context menu are disabled for that instance.

This is an intermittent issue that may not occur in all cases.

Workaround: Use the sybcluster utility to start the new instance.

Sybase Control Center cannot authenticate with the Unified Agent installed with Adaptive Server 15.5.x (Unified Agent 2.5) using the default password for earlier versions of the Unified Agent.

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.

After you change the kernel mode and restart the Adaptive Server, the Sybase Control Center monitor view may not update correctly, or may not correctly display that the kernel has been changed.

When you change the kernel mode from either threaded to process or process to threaded in the Configuration screen of Sybase Control Center, and then restart the server, the monitor view may not update correctly or threads may still be displayed after changing to process mode.

Workaround: When you change the server kernel mode in Adaptive Server 15.7 or higher, you may need to complete the following steps to correctly display this resource in the monitor view.

  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.

616855 The allocation information about devices for an Adaptive Server that is configured to use the Chinese language and character set appears in Chinese rather than in English.

To see allocation information, select Databases in the Adaptive Server Monitor, then click the Devices Used tab.

Workaround: None.

613300 Errors are reported on the Sybase Control Center console if a managed Adaptive Server resource is unavailable.
Workaround: To prevent repeating error messages:
  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select the Adaptive Server resource and click the drop-down arrow that appears to the right.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. Select Collection Jobs.
  4. Select all listed jobs.
  5. To suspend all collections on the Adaptive Server resource, click Suspend.
  6. To start collections when the Adaptive Server resource is available, click Resume.
596022 The Adaptive Server Monitor screens for an Adaptive Server cluster may not respond while a failover operation is occurring in the cluster.

Workaround: None.

589902 In some cases, Sybase Control Center displays incorrect values for size and amount of space used by a segment in cluster configurations.

This affects the data and charts that appear on the Details tab of the Segments screen in the Adaptive Server Monitor.

Workaround: None.
