If you do not address SySAM 2 related errors in a timely
fashion, Sybase IQ may cease to function.
Where to Look for SySAM-related Errors
All SySAM related errors are printed in the Sybase IQ error log and <dbname>.iqmsg file. If e-mail alerts are configured, recipients receive an e-mail whenever a SySAM event occurs.
SySAM Grace Mode
If Sybase IQ cannot find a required license, it continues to operate in grace mode, if a grace period is available.
SySAM Grace Period
Typically, you get a 30-day grace period to resolve any SySAM-related issues. When a license is awarded under grace, entries in the Sybase IQ error log, <dbname>.iqmsg file, and optional e-mail message include the date and time when the grace period expires.
Enabling and Changing E-mail Notifications
You can configure the e-mail notification setup using sp_iqlmconfig. Run the sp_iqlmconfig procedures without any parameters to view the current status and configuration.
License Checkout and Verification
SySAM checks feature licensing at various times. Some features are only checked on startup; others after the feature has been added to the database (e.g., passed the threshold for IQ store size, created multiplex writer, etc.); others are triggered by a particular event.
