2011998 - SIGKILL or aborting of dbisql can leave an unused semaphore - SAP IQ

Symptom

  • DBISQL always allocates a semaphore at the starting timing in AIX, HP-UX and Linux platforms.
  • The semaphore is used only for the same-computer SHMEM communications.
  • If dbisql exits by SIGKILL or aborting from some triggers, the allocated semaphore can be left.
  • As the result, when OS can run out of semaphore, the new dbisql connection will receive the following error message:

<Error message>
Could not connect to the database.
Connection error: Insufficient system resources - failed to allocate a SYSV semaphore
SQLCODE=-832, ODBC 3 State="08001"
