Database '%.*s' is currently offline. Please wait and try your command again later.
The Adaptive Server Database Context Manager controls access to databases. Any process opening or closing a database must do so through this subsystem. Error 950 is raised when the Database Context Manager is unable to honor a database access request because the database is offline, and is not available for general use.
During a load database, Adaptive Server takes the database being loaded offline and the database remains in this state until it is brought back online.
During an Adaptive Server installation upgrade, a database is marked offline when loading the transaction log that is to be upgraded. You may see 950 errors:
If the load completed and the upgrade was successful, but the database was not brought back online.
If the upgrade failed, leaving the database offline.
If a load is in progress, complete the load sequence (including any loads of transaction log dumps), then use online database to make the database available for use.
If this error is raised due to an upgrade failure, the corrective action depends on several factors:
The original Adaptive Server version, and the version to which you are upgrading.
The phase of the upgrade process where failure occurred.
Whether the databases being upgraded has tables or other objects marked for replication. If the transaction log is not drained because log records are waiting to be processed by the Log Transfer Manager, the upgrade process for that database will fail, leaving the database offline.
Refer to “Recovering from a failed installation” in the “Troubleshooting” chapter of the installation and configuration guide for your platform to determine how to proceed.
If you use Replication Server, you must disable replication before attempting to upgrade. Refer to your platform’s Adaptive Server installation guide for further information. For example, if you are upgrading, see “Appendix B: Upgrading Servers with Replicated Databases” in the appropriate installation guide..
When you call Sybase Technical Support, have the information listed in “Reporting errors” on hand.
