Where to look for SySAM-related errors
All SySAM related errors are printed in the Adaptive Server errorlog. All
SySAM-related messages are prefixed with
"kernel SySAM:" in the
Adaptive Server errorlog. For example:
<timestamp> kernel SySAM: Failed to obtain 1 license(s)
for ASE_CORE feature from license file(s) or server(s).
If e-mail alerts are configured, recipients receive an e-mail whenever a SySAM
event occurs.
You can always check the current state of SySAM licenses in Adaptive Server
using the
sp_lmconfig command. The output shows the current SySAM
configuration and the status of each license.
