1852243 - Error 1105 or dump tran not clearing space on a database with $replication_truncation_point active - SAP ASE

Symptom

  • A dump transaction command is not clearing space in a database 
    • A "dump transaction <SID>" command completes but does not free log space

  • Which can result in the database running out of log space with error 1105 messages in ASE errorlog:

    Error: 1105, Severity: 17, State: 7
    Can't allocate space for object 'syslogs' in database '<DBSID>' because 'logsegment' segment is full/has no free extents.
    If you ran out of space in syslogs, dump the transaction log. Otherwise, use ALTER DATABASE to increase the size of the segment


  • Command "select * from master..syslogshold" shows a long running process with name $replication_truncation_point:
