The purpose of this KBA is to help SAP customers obtain a general idea of potential fixed situations in future Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) EBF/SP or PL releases. Please be sure to read the Disclaimer below.
If the EBF/SP has been released, check the CR list and coverletter at the service.sap.com.
Disclaimer: This document lists the targeted (not committed) release dates and the targeted fixed CR list for each release. Please be aware that the purpose of this posting is solely to provide you, our customers with estimated release dates and targeted CR lists. SAP does not commit to releasing on the specified dates or to including the CR fixes in the said release. While every effort will be made to meet the said targets, changes can occur at any time. It is also possible (although unlikely) that SAP may decide not to release an EBF/SP that was previously scheduled for release.
| CR Number | Description |
|---|---|
| 464605 | The "enable large pool for load" configuration parameter is added to configure the use of large buffer pools during the recovery phase for LOAD DATABASE and LOAD TRANSACTION commands execution. This configuration parameter will default to 0 if "enable functionality group" is set to 0, and to 1 if "enable functionality group" is set to 1. |
| 545716 | Long Running Transaction against an SAP ASE server can prevent the log being truncated, causing risk of data unavailability for DMLs. Improve how this can be managed. |
| 546891 | Permissions on "sysslices" system table remain unchanged when "GRANT DEFAULT PERMISSIONS ON SYSTEM TABLES" or "REVOKE DEFAULT PERMISSIONS ON SYSTEM TABLES" SQL commands are executed. |
| 653277 | An UPDATE query running in a batch that includes a CREATE INDEX or UPDATE/DELETE STATISTICS or an UPDATE query running simultaneously with a workload that involves CREATE INDEX or UPDATE/DELETE STATISTICS may lead to data inconsistency. |
| 656902 | If a query contains a join between partitioned tables and one of the partitioned tables degenerates to a single partition through dynamic partition elimination and there is a CIS table in the query, then a SEGV could occur in the PartNodeInfo::collocatedSite() method. |
| 703607 | Backup Server is enhanced to provide Multithread support needed for Tivoli Storage Manager options such as LAN-FREE. This support is off by default. It can be turned on by using the new –D8192 option during Backup Server startup. For example: ${BACKUPSERVER} -SSYB_BACKUP -I$SYBASE/interfaces -M${SYBMULTBUF} -D8192& |
| 724472 | In rare circumstances, recreation of in-memory databases during start up of SAP ASE may hang when there are more than one in-memory databases with the same template database. SAP ASE can still be used, but an attempt to use the in-memory databases that are not recreated will result in an error 962, "Database with ID ' < value > ' is not available. Please try again later." being reported. |
| 725315 | The VERIFY option for the DUMP and LOAD commands does not give the user any indication of whether errors were found or not. The errors are currently reported only in the backupserver errorlog. |
| 726439 | Under some rare conditions, if there is a HASH AGGREGATE operator above a JOIN operator, wrong query results may occur. |
| 726936 | When I/O fencing is enabled, the server may fail to correctly fence the devices and start up. Need environment variable SYBASE_MAX_MULTIPATHS to override number of paths iterated which should be set to 1 if PowerPath is enabled. |
| 728903 | Under some rare conditions, if there is a HASH AGGREGATE operator above a JOIN operator, wrong query results may occur. |
| 729022 | For some special table name, REORG REBUILD and ALTER TABLE fail with an infected with 11 error on IdentifierType::IdentifierType. |
| 729795 | The incorrect message "The dump configuration ' < value > ' supplied for SELECT is invalid. The change is completed. The option is dynamic and ASE need not be rebooted for the change to take effect." may be reported by sp_config_dump with an option that is longer than the supported length. |
| 730656 | Cache bindings may be ignored if a 'strict' database recovery order is specified. |
| 731753 | If ALTER TABLE is used to add a NOT MATERIALIZED column < c2 > with a default, then another nullable column < c3 > is added to the table and REORG REBUILD the table, a query to the table will also assign the default to the column < c3 > . |
| 731769 | In case of an exception, SAP ASE hits an error 1265 while aborting / rolling back the transaction. Abort or rollback of the transaction may happen because of some internal / external error. Error: 1265, Severity: 20, State: 1 An illegal attempt was made to release an invalid lock or a lock that is not owned by the process family. |
| 732631 | REORG REBUILD < table_name > WITH ONLINE command, does not update the index create time-stamp(index_created field in sp_helpindex output) for the indexes rebuilt. |
| 733346 | The stored procedure sp_dropexternlogin will fail when executed by a user that has SSO_ROLE and not SA_ROLE when granular permissions is not enabled. |
| 733428 | The "recovery prefetch size" configuration parameter is added to configure the lookahead size (in terms of log pages) in order for recovery to prefetch to-be-recovered pages. When set to 0, SAP ASE will automatically optimize the value. |
| 733752 | The estimate for NULLs in the optimizer may be incorrect if hash based statistics gathering is used, when the number of unique values in the column is greater than 65535. |
| 734176 | If DBCC DBREBOOT is unsuccessful for some reason, the status in sysdatabases may sometimes incorrectly indicate that a forced shutdown is in progress, even after SAP ASE has been shutdown and rebooted successfully. |
| 734470 | When SAP ASE is booted with trace flag 7437 it will not switch from an OAM scan to an allocation page scan when an incorrect page count value in one or more OAM entries is found during boot time recovery and while calculating the free space page counts for a database. |
| 734617 | Adaptive Server 15.7 may execute SELECT queries at isolation level 3 on Data Only Locked scheme tables slower than SAP ASE 15.0.3 or 15.5 if the session executing the SELECT query holds a large number of locks. |
| 734800 | Backup Server may occasionally report a spurious error when executing a DUMP or LOAD WITH VERIFY[ONLY], as a result of checking a page that is already deallocated. This is more likely to happen when the deallocated page belonged to compressed table. |
| 734899 | A 692 error, "Uninitialized logical page < pageno > was read while accessing database ...", may be reported after loading an in-memory database dump from a database where this page was used but was marked as deallocated incorrectly, resulting in this page not being archived in the dump. |
| 734983 | Added new option SET PLAN SHARED ON and server wide param 'abstract plan sharing'. It enables Abstract Plan sharing between different users. Tables in the query with shared abstract plan must be explicitly prefixed with the owner name or belong to the DBO user. |
| 735003 | The built-ins or stored procedures that rely on OAM for space accounting get blocked on an exclusive table lock on the table. |
| 735107 | A 247 (arithmetic overflow) error may be reported when the syscachepoolinfo and syscacheinfo MDA tables are queried. |
| 735256 | Sometimes an insert query with union view or derived table with union in which tables have check constraint, could cause a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) and a stacktrace in errorlog involving the function NormalizeScalar(). |
| 735346 | ALTER TABLE on a data compressed table may lead to heap memory (CPINFO pool) corruption. ASE stacktraces may be seen involving the functions kbfalloc() and cpinfo_allocbufs(). |
| 735516 | Need a mechanism to change the size of Engine Local Cache (ELC). By default ELC is 50 % of configured procedure cache size. |
| 736426 | The Java Compile Suite layer in Adaptive Server that is responsible for UDF/ADT support and SQLJ queries execution towards the target JavaVM has been enhanced to allow the release of intermediate allocated Java objects. This was causing the JavaVM heap memory allocation to be exhausted under a heavy load application environment. |
| 736603 | In some rare cases, accessing a system table could result in 8201 error being raised. |
| 737108 | Assertion fail in le_subst.cpp maybe raised when index only contains fixed-length columns. |
| 737524 | In rare circumstances, an 8201 error, "Keep count of descriptor (objid= < obj_id > , dbid= < db_id > ) was expected to be 1. Instead 2 was found" followed by a stack trace that includes the modules des__clean() and des__scavenge() when a system is running out of descriptors. |
| 737628 | Intelligient index scan may lead to non-optimal index in plan selection. |
| 737879 | When backup server is started with trace flag –D2048, the pages that have been allocated after the backup server built a list of pages to be archived and before the related allocation page is read by sybmultbuf, will be resent. Prior to dump a database one can run “SYB_BACKUP…qatraceon 105” that will add appropriate messages in the backup server error log when a resent has occurred. |
| 738117 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the module ssql_release() or ssql_choose_victims() may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when the statement cache is full in a high concurrency SAP ASE environment. |
| 738196 | A core dump facility is added to the sybmon configurable shared memory dump feature. This is supported only on Windows platforms. |

| 739074 | In some scenarios, a database in single user mode could be used by a user session that is not expected to be using the database. |
| 739784 | If a table is altered and is present in an UNION query in a derived table which is further defined in a VIEW, it could lead to permission denied errors. |
| 739932 | The optimizer estimates involving columns defined as BIGDATETIME and BIGTIME types may be suboptimial. |
| 740020 | Under rare circumstances on Windows NT 64-bit platform ASE may stop with no errors being reported while processing Web Services requests that involve the execution of Java code. |
| 740221 | Under heavy network load, SAP ASE on the Windows platform may hang. |
| 740471 | The loginfo() built-in may return wrong values for parameters 'can_free_using_dump_tran', 'oldest_active_transaction_pct', 'stp_span_pct' for databases having mixed log and data segments. |
| 740957 | The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'LeBulkOpOpenCleanup' together with a stack trace which includes the module 'LeBulkOpOpen' may be reported in the error log while migrating data from one platform to another using sybmigrate. |
| 740987 | In rare circumstance, the size of non-unique indexes on DOL tables may grow very quickly if lots of data is inserted, or the index columns are updated frequently. |
| 741330 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the modules sparclock() and kssolnetctlrWaitForCompletion() may be reported in the error log when SAP ASE is running in the threaded kernel mode on the Solaris operating system after which the ASE may become non-responsive. This issue only affects SAP ASE on the Solaris platforms. |
| 741386 | Schema creation is incorrectly logged for DDL replication if the CREATE SCHEMA is not the only statement in the batch and when the statement cache is ON. |
| 741487 | A timeslice error followed by a stack trace that involves the module buf__unhash_and_keep_grabbed_mass() may be reported in the error log during HASH based statistics gathering. |
| 741621 | SAP ASE reports invalid process status messages like "kpsched: kpid 1962483841 bad status 0x400414" followed by "upstatus: kpid = 1962483841, status 0x400414 not valid". The exact bad status may vary across messages. |
| 741786 | A 706 error, "Process < pid > tried to remove PROC_HDR < phdr > that it does not hold in Pss", may be encountered when an SQL statement is executed and it is either stored in the SQL statement cache or it is a dynamic SQL statement and during execution a regeneration of the statement query tree from SQL text is required and an exception is encountered during the parsing of the corresponding SQL text. |
| 741799 | The Sybmon restart command fails with an error, "Unknown command", when executed without specifying an engine number for a server running in process kernel mode. |
| 741822 | When create a huge size database(data size > 63G), stack trace including module pg__gam_extend() may be detected. For example executing statement as "create database testdb on ldev1='50m', #nulldev='7t', ldev2='50m' log on ldev3='50m'", it will hit the stack trace. |
| 741847 | The 3051 message, "The dump configuration '' supplied for DUMP DATABASE is invalid", can be mistakenly returned for the valid dump configuration which has a 30 bytes long name. |
| 741901 | When a CREATE INDEX command is executed and the following conditions are met, (1) The configuration option, 'enable functionality group' is on and (2) The table upon which the index is being created has datarows locking scheme and (3) The first index-key column contains at least one NULL value and (4) a Lava parallel execution plan is used, then the resulting index may be missing rows for the NULL-valued columns. |
| 741910 | Enable a login with mon_role to execute sp_monitorconfig on SAP ASE 15.7 |
| 741924 | An undetected deadlock might occur between a process that ran out of syslogs space and has crossed the last chance syslogs threshold and another process that is attempting to expand the syslogs size by executing an ALTER DATABASE command. The output of dbcc stacktrace( < spid > ) command for one of these two processes will show the modules 'th_sleep_on_lct' and 'upsleepgeneric' whereas for the other process the modules 'writeLock' and 'upyield'. An SAP ASE restart is needed to unblock this situation. |
| 741959 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the module mda__process_sdes() may be reported in the error log when querying the monProcessObject MDA table. |

| 742152 | On a server that has a large number of objects, the sp_sysmon report may take a long time to complete and error message 1508, "Create index aborted on duplicate rows. Primary key is < keyname > ", may be reported in the error log. |
| 742158 | If 'literal autoparam' is enabled, the sometimes a print statement that uses a literal in a stored procedure could lead to remap error 2805 'Bad pointer 0x%p encountered while remapping stored procedure '%.*s'. Must re-create procedure.'. |
| 742168 | When SAP ASE is running in process mode, if the dynamic listener is on a hung engine, SAP ASE may continuously report , "necheck: select, Bad file descriptor" in the errorlog. |
| 742216 | Booting an SAP ASE may fail permission checks with an error message, "Permission denied, database master, owner dbo. You need the following permission(s) to run this command: MANAGE SERVER CONFIGURATION", when the configuration parameter 'enable granular permissions' is set in the default configuration file. |
| 742233 | Queries performing isnull() on a variable assignment may return null when ‘streamlined dynamic SQL’ is enabled. |
| 742249 | With single engine configurations, a SAP ASE polite shutdown request may hang if the JS Agent is executing a job whose spid is set to LOW priority. |
| 742292 | Sybmon might get hang with huge garbage SQL text printed when running "sample context=y" command. |
| 742312 | DDLGen generates duplicate partition values when a range or a list partitioned table has a local index |
| 742356 | An 803 error, "Unable to place buffer < buf > from cache < cache_name > holding logical page < page_num > in sdes for object < object_name > - either there is no room in sdes or buffer already in requested slot", may be reported when running a multiple table join under parallel processing. |
| 742376 | The built-in function set_appcontext() mistakenly allows the update of an attribute without running rm_appcontext(). |
| 742407 | Add extra diagnostics for the data change fragment pool in order to help catch incorrect memory accesses of the data change fragment pool and thus also improve robustness. |
| 742434 | The message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'pthread_kill' together with a stack trace will be reported in the error log on Linux platforms only, when the Java option is enabled, the Kernel mode is set to process mode, and the PCI option is disabled. |
| 742485 | If 'stack size' is configured too small, sometimes it could lead to error, 'Stack guardword corrupted', with OmniQuickPass::generateSelect(), OmniQuickPass::generateStatement() in the stacktrace when select large number of columns for a remote table. |
| 742603 | The PhysicalReads value in the monProcessActivity and monProcessStatement MDA tables do not include APF Reads. The PagesRead value in the monProcessActivity MDA table is also incorrect. |
| 742667 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the module ulpspinlock() and kstcpnetctlrCancelRequests() may be reported by an SAP ASE running in the threaded kernel mode on the Solaris platform. The SAP ASE may subsequently hang. |

| 742782 | Sometimes, sp_showplan may cause a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) with a stacktrace reported in the errorlog involving the function listChildQueries(). |
| 742786 | In very rare circumstances, error 1765 (related to level 0 scan) could be raised unexpectedly. |
| 742871 | If 'procedure cache' is configured too small for a heavy loaded server, it could lead to stacktraces with s_chooselocks(), s_setup_lockrequest() and insert_to_heap(). |
| 742896 | In some cases, SAP ASE may report a timeslice error in module shm_mergedump() when "memory dump compression level" is set as non-zero value. |
| 742914 | DDLGen cannot generate a 'GRANTED BY' permission clause when run against SAP ASE 15.7 SP50 and higher versions. |
| 742987 | An 814 error, "Keep count of buffer < buf_num > in cache < cache_name > holding logical page < page_id > in database < db_name > has become negative", followed by an 837 error, "Attempted to grab wash header" may be reported during UPDATE STATISTICS or CREATE INDEX. |
| 743045 | When log segment of a database exhausts and tasks involving page allocation are in progress, ASE could hit 804 error : "Unable to find buffer '0x..' from cache '...' holding logical page '...' in sdes '0x...' kept buffer pool for object '...'. |
| 743055 | A SAP ASE that running in threaded kernel mode on the Linux or HPUX operating systems may print a stack trace including ulpspinlock and kstcpnetctlrCancelRequests and thereafter the SAP ASE becomes non-responsive. |
| 743075 | The configuration option, 'enable plan sharing' is no longer automatically enabled when the configuration option, 'enable functionality group' is enabled. The option 'enable plan sharing' must now be enabled explicitly. |
| 743177 | System stored procedures, such as sp_password, sp_extrapwdchecks, sp_addlogin, do not have asterisks stored in audit table for password parameters when 'exec_procedure' auditing option is on. |

| 743676 | Wrong data may show up in page-compressed APL table with all fixed length columns. |
| 743775 | Audit table records might be malformed or missing for table access events when auditing is turned on. |
| 743913 | When a new plan for a procedure is installed, the accumulated metric LogicalReads in the monCachedProcedures table for the cached procedure maybe incorrect. |
| 743922 | In rare circumstances, a SELECT FOR UPDATE query may return successfully without getting the exclusive lock on the row, even if READPAST mode was not being used. This only affects the AIX platforms and has been identified as an AIX compiler optimization issue when high levels of optimization are used on a specific module. |
| 744013 | In a High Availability server, sp_addlogin and sp_addremotelogin will fail with permission errors when the user executing the stored procedures is granted sso_role only. |
| 744116 | The SAP ASE Rep Agent thread sends float values ending in .0 without the .0 which makes them appear to be integers instead of floating point values. This can cause statement caching to create multiple plans for the same table leading to contention in the statement cache and degrading query performance. |
| 744256 | In rare circumstances, soft fault 100015 (page loop error) reported by DBCC CHECKSTORAGE may be upgraded to hard fault after running DBCC CHECKVERIFY. |

| 744484 | The datatype of 'starttime' output parameter of sp_xact_loginfo is not correct. This results in a NULL value in starttime when executing the stored procedure with the 'oldestactive' option. |
| 744571 | The DBCC utility reset_cached_plan_stats incorrectly checks for granular permissions. |
| 744713 | Backup Server may wrongly issue the message, "The change is completed. The option is dynamic and SAP ASE need not be rebooted for the change to take effect", for an invalid configuration with a config_name more than the 30 bytes allowed. |
| 744810 | If 'cis connect timeout' is exceeded, the local process with P_OMNI_TIMEDOUT set will continue to sleep. |
| 744842 | Memory usage keeps increasing when querying MDA tables in a loop in stored procedure. |
| 744872 | The 692 error, "Uninitialized logical page < page_no > was read while accessing database < dbname > , object 'syslogs' (8), ...", could be raised if the loginfo() built-in function is executed concurrently with DUMP TRANSACTION. |
| 744975 | An incorrect index can be selected when a query contains a multi-column ORDER BY, if the avoid_bmo_sorts optcriteria is turned on explicitly or thru enabling the ase_current optimization level. If a sort is used below a nested loop join, and the ordering that the sort produced contains a unique key, and the ordering is extended by the nested loop join and eventually used to satisfy the ORDER BY, then this plan may be skipped if the avoid_bmo_sorts optcriteria is turned on. |
| 744978 | TEXT/IMAGE data could be corrupted by byte-swap if the database once performed cross-platform database load on 15.0 ESD#2 or later version of SAP ASE, and the database was originally from a pre-12.0 version of SAP ASE. |
| 745071 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the module TcsState::tcs_merge() may be reported in the error log when optcriteria cr702725 is enabled and the query invokes referential integrity check and has an attribute in the ORDER BY clause which is not in the selection list. |
| 745184 | Execution of stored procedures containing statements that are executed using deferred compilation causes the original SQL text in the monProcessSQLText MDA table to be replaced. |
| 745325 | Boot SAP ASE with trace flag 9166 when dbcc logtransfer replication is used to diminish the likelihood of contention on the Network Memory Pool spinlock that can cause high CPU utilization when a user table is marked for replication. Don't use trace flag 9166 with Rep Agent replication because operations such as DDL replication or request functions won't work anymore. |
| 745599 | In rare circumstances the message "current process infected with 6" in the module '__systemcall' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'jvmfini' and 'BRIDGEjvm_AbortJavaVM' may be reported in the error log during the execution of a UDF/ADT or SQLJ query. |
| 745872 | When the command: sp_online "engine", < 42 > .. fails, i.e due to OS resource issue, SAP ASE's listener will hang, preventing new connections to be established. |

| 745888 | The FIPS ciphersuites are stricter in OpenSSL not all ciphersuites that were supported by Certicom in FIPS mode are supported by OpenSSL. |
| 745914 | DBCC CHECKALLOC may report an incorrect number of unreserved log pages after ALTER DATABASE LOG OFF fails to remove a log fragment because some of the pages to remove are allocated. |
| 746156 | In some rare cases, when DOL data pages are undergoing deallocation while table scans are concurrently executed on the table, inserts from other concurrent threads may incorrectly qualify to-be-deallocated pages. This may result in 7928 or other index corruption errors reported from DBCC CHECKTABLE. |
| 746261 | SAP ASE CE hangs when it cannot access storage devices due to a fencing or storage disconnect. |
| 746285 | Enhancement that adds the possibility to add a cyclic redundancy check to a database or transaction dump created with compression (VERIFY=CRC), as well as to verify that the compression blocks can be correctly read and decompressed (WITH VERIFY=READ_AFTER_WRITE). |
| 746312 | The message, "Current process infected with signal 11", followed by a stack trace that includes the module mda_calc_proc_hdr_mem_KB() may be reported in the error log while querying the MDA table, monProcessProcedures. |
| 746330 | When sp_maplogin LDAP, NULL, 'create login' enables an authenticated LDAP user to create their own login and master database replication is enabled, the CREATE LOGIN statement on the replicate database gets error: "Message: 10331, State 2, Severity 14 -- 'Permission denied, database master, owner dbo. You need the following permission(s) to run this command: MANAGE ANY LOGIN. " The error is mapped to stop replication. |
| 746344 | SAP ASE may hang when doing a disk mirror in some situations. The disk controller thread consumes 100% of the CPU utilization while the server hangs. Also, no new connections to the server can be established. |
| 746349 | Backup Server introduces a remote access control feature that prevents remote dumps and loads and execution of remote procedure calls (RPC) from any client or server running on unauthorized servers. Local dumps are not affected by this feature. Authorization to dump or load, to or from Backup Server is achieved by including the authorized hosts in the host.allow access control file. The default location of hosts.allow file is $SYBASE. The location and name can be changed using the Backup Server parameter -h. This feature failed when the connection to the backup server was through a named pipe. |
| 746442 | Backup Server introduces a remote access control feature that prevents remote dumps and loads and execution of remote procedure calls (RPC) from any client or server running on unauthorized servers. Local dumps are not affected by this feature. Authorization to dump or load, to or from Backup Server is achieved by including the authorized hosts in the host.allow access control file. The default location of hosts.allow file is $SYBASE. The location and name can be changed using the Backup Server parameter -h. This feature failed when the connection to the backup server was through a AF_UNIX socket. |
| 746464 | Stored procedures using "execute as caller" with queries that call builtin function ISNULL() and create and query #temporary tables fail with error: Msg 208, Level 16, State 1: Server ' < servername > ', Line 26: < #temporary_table > not found. |
| 746528 | Killing a task which involves cursor or work tables might cause the server to hang, waiting for EX_LATCH on an allocation page on which EX_LATCH had been acquired by the same task before the 'kill' was issued on it. (A diagserver throws an 872 error). |
| 746562 | A trigger defined on MERGE statement executing both INSERT and UPDATE actions may return incorrect rows for inserted table for the INSERT action. This happens if the same trigger is defined for both INSERT and UPDATE: "create trigger T on TAB for insert,update as ..." |
