Appendix E: Using sybsystemprocs

Notesysprocsdev is the default system name for this device. However, it is frequently referred to as the sybsystemprocs device, as in the Adaptive Server attribute window, since it stores the sybsystemprocs database.

Verify that the sybsystemprocs database is large enough. For an upgrade, the recommended minimum size for sybsystemprocs is the larger of 132MB, or enough free space to accommodate the existing sybsystemprocs database, and the largest catalog that is to be upgraded, plus an additional 10 percent of the largest catalog’s size. The additional 10 percent is for logging upgrade changes.

You may need more space if you are adding user-defined stored procedures. 120MBs accommodate additional internal data structures, but does not account for the possibility of a large number of user-defined system procedures.

If your sybsystemprocs database does not meet these requirements and you have enough room on the device to expand the database to the required size, use the alter database command to increase the database size.

Use sp_helpdb to determine the size of the sybsystemprocs database:

1> sp_helpdb sybsystemprocs
2> go

Use sp_helpdevice to determine the size of the sysprocsdev device:

1> sp_helpdevice sysprocdev
2> go

If the db_size setting is less than the required minimum, you must increase the size of sysprocdev.
