1933435 - Error 1601: There are not enough 'user connections' - SAP ASE for BS

• The 'number of user connections' ASE configuration parameter seems to be set high enough.
• However, sometimes the available user connections are exhausted.
• The following message is reported in the ASE errorlog:
   
       Error 1601: There are not enough 'user connections' available to start a new process.
   
• The number of user connection goes up, as soon as the transaction log is almost 100% in use.
• Even when the transaction log is dumped and the log free is again 99% or more, the number of user connections will stay at a high level causing problems like Error 1601.
   
  For example:

processes: 61, log free: 99.28%.
processes: 61, log free: 99.27%.
processes: 57, log free: 99.41%.
processes: 55, log free: 18.21%.
processes: 55, log free: 14.22%.
processes: 55, log free: 9.60%.
processes: 55, log free: 4.75%.
processes: 54, log free: 0.85%.
processes: 283, log free: 0.84%.
processes: 306, log free: 99.60%.
processes: 306, log free: 99.60%.
processes: 306, log free: 99.59%.
