2445100 - Targeted CR List for ASE 15.7 SP139

Symptom

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 NumberDescription
718500 The message, "Current process infected with signal 11 (SIGSEGV)" together with a stack trace that includes the module oj_syboj_ojdepends_maps(), may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when executing an illegal OUTER JOIN request. An appropriate error should be raised instead.
732482 A query against a remote table may get a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) during UPDATE STATISTICS.
745786 In rare circumstances, an 871 error, "Process < spid > is trying to release a latch on buffer < buffer_address > (dbid: < dbid > , pageno: < pgid > ) without holding a latch on the buffer." may be reported after a resource governor error is hit.
757484 In some heavy loaded environment, SAP ASE might report a timeslice error in the SAP ASE errorlog with a stack trace mentioning the function plgrabstats().
784729 Allow lightweight permission checking for non-imdb queries also. This also helps to reduce unnecessary reads on sysobjects table, seen as a separate issue under CR 791956.
787670 SAP ASE server is enhanced to clear uninitialized TIPSA flags automatically under new traceflag 7167 when accessing text/image/unitext columns. If you have never previously used LOB compression feature on the database, this helps avoid 632 errors if you don't have enough time to run DBCC commands to check and fix all text pages in huge databases. Later if you plan to use LOB compression feature, turn off traceflag 7167, then check and fix if needed all text pages. Do not enable this traceflag if you have previously used LOB compression in the database. See KBA 2107660.
788517 A 3328 error, "Redo of 'CREATE INDEX' in transaction ID (0,0) for table name < > , object ID < > did not find 'syscolumns' system catalog log record. Recovery of database < > cannot continue." followed by 3329 error, "Redo of 'CREATE INDEX' for table < > , object ID < > did not build compression information. Recovery of database < > cannot continue." followed by 4314 error, "Cannot find table < > to recreate index < > ." may be reported during LOAD TRANSACTION in the SAP ASE error log while an index is logically rebuild. See KBA 2216220.
791224 Executing a procedures doesn't raise 10386 error (permission denied error) when the caller/session owner of the procedure doesn't have appropriate permissions for the statements defined in the stored procedure.
794974 KBA 2270636 - Error 8211 - A newly created ssql_id for SQL to store in statement cache is a duplicate object id of an existing table in system tempdb.
795533 In rare circumstances on a heavily-loaded multi-engine system, a timeslice error in the module 'ubo_slotscan_getnext' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'mda_populate_monCachedProcedures' and 'VTABRemoteAccess::getNext' may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when the MDA table monCachedProcedures is queried. See KBA 2393400.
799194 An 806 error, "Could not find virtual page for logical page < > in database < > " may be reported after loading a database dump that is followed by one or more transaction dumps while trying to access a page, if the database was shrunk before taking the database dump or a transaction dump followed by a database extension that was captured in a following transaction dump.
799493 A 29006 error, "Invalid DOL data row pointer: row < > with status 0x800 must be normal row instead of compressed row" may be reported when running SELECT-INTO while the compatibility mode is enabled and some of the tables are compressed. See KBA 2327918.
799568 REORG DEFRAG with resume may cause table corruption. Error 614 (Illegal length) and 9991 (Orphan row not marked committed delete) may subsequently be reported when running DBCC CHECKTABLE. See KBA 2329226.
800167 The command DUMP DATABASE CUMULATIVE could fail and the backup server could die if the table SYSDAMS became corrupted.
800300 KBA 2385151. The message, "Current process infected with 11 (SIGSEGV)" in the module 'execproc' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'sequencer' and 's_execute', may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when a stored procedure is executed.
800370 On AIX, in a rare situation, a client application may hang after sending a new command after a cancel had been sent to the client.
800461 SSL connections fails intermittently.
800625 A 940 error, "Dbtable in wrong state for operation: DBTABLE pointer = < value > , dbid = < value > , state = < value > , status= < value > , keep = < value > , system task keep = < value > , name = < value > " with state 11 and 52 might be seen when customized optimization goal setting is on.
800733 Dropping a database on a corrupt device can lead to timeslice errors and result in corruption of the master database.
801024 A 12316 error, "Internal error: Attempt to garbage collect a deallocated data page < > in table < > , database < > . Aborting the transaction.", may be reported by HKGC task when accessing a deallocated page while concurrent DML activity is taking place in parallel and some commands are rolled-back.
801058 The command DBCC CHECKALLOC could report a discrepancy between the actual number of free log pages and the cached number of free log pages, after ALTER DATABASE LOG OFF fails with an error 5053 due to existing log pages in the log fragment to be shrunk. See KBA 2422628.
801114 When inner table of an OUTER JOIN query has in-row LOB column which is not part of the transitive closure, the query should succeed without a stack trace.
801424 In Sun Cluster, failover is not triggered because the script which uses haisql is not able to get the correct state of the companion SAP ASE.
801427 Query with join and search clause comparing VARBINARY column and VARCHAR constant may return incorrect results. Rows which should be qualified are not returned. Showplan option will indicate that a unique index is used to scan the table with VARBINARY column.
801598 In rare circumstances, an 806 error, "Could not find virtual page for logical page < > in database < > ." may be reported in the SAP ASE error log after performing a LOAD DATABASE whereby the target database diskmap does not match that of the source database in the dump. Alternatively in KBA 2411446, a 4343 error, "An error occured when converting the row offset table in the page < > of object ID < > . Either the number of rows, < > , or the free offset in the page, < > , is incorrect. The conversion will be skipped. Please, contact SAP product support." may be reported when performing a cross-platform LOAD DATABASE. See KBA 2420672.
801789 When "set forceplan on" is enabled, the internally generated abstract plan may lead to very inefficient plan to satisfy the forceplan for the queries which involved min/max operations. See KBA 2364881.
801824 A 624 error, "Adaptive Server failed to retrieve a row via its RID in database < dbname > because the requested RID has a higher number than the last RID on the page.", or a 625 error, "Adaptive Server failed to retrieve a row via its RID in database < dbname > because the entry in the offset table for that RID is less than or equal to 0.", may be reported while a row is inserted into an APL table that has a clustered index and the insert causes a page split to happen.

802213 The message, "Current process infected with 11 (SIGSEGV)", in the module 'ubffreef' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'fdp_free_memory' and 'terminate_process' may be reported in the SAP Cluster Edition ASE error log when a session terminates resulting in SAP ASE shutting down implicitly. See KBA 2369414.
802687 High contention may be seen on the spinlock 'Resource- > rdbt_spin' in a heavily loaded multi-engine SAP ASE system resulting in performance degradation, when many concurrent Light Weight Procedures being executed while the SQL statement cache is enabled.
802768 In rare circumstances a hang may occur in SAP ASE between two sessions whereby the first session hangs in the module 'plc_flush' waiting for a page to be written on disk by holding a lock on the second session Private Log Cache, while the second session is writing the same page on disk and is waiting to acquire the lock on its own Private Log Cache.
802811 In rare circumstances on a heavily-loaded multi-engine system, a timeslice error in the module 'kboalloc' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'ptn__pdes_grab' and 'des__fill_common' may be reported in the SAP ASE error log during execution of the built-in row_count().

803900 In rare situations, disconnected client can cause orphaned task in SAP ASE.
803935 The monThread MDA table will report the same statistics metrics for all threads on the Linux platform. The thread utilization in sp_sysmon output is reported incorrectly. A typical symptom is the thread utilization for all threads are the same and might exceed 100%.
804157 A 3474 error, "During redo the page timestamp value is less than old timestamp from log. Page #= < > , object id = < > , page timestamp= < > . Log old timestamp= < > . Log record marker = ( < > , < > )." may be reported in the SAP ASE error log during boot time recovery after a non-polite SAP ASE shutdown while an REORG REBUILD command was running.

805208 If there is a stored procedure running at ISOLATION LEVEL 0 with: "INSERT ... SELECT ..." command without a FROM clause OR "SELECT ... INTO ..." command without a FROM clause and with "INSERT SELECT AT LEVEL 0" feature enabled the stored procedure may run into multiple recompilation error (11060).
805280 For SAP ASE running in threaded kernel mode, a task (spid) may get stuck in kctCheckAsync(), i.e. DBCC STACKTRACE( < spid > ) shows function kctCheckAsync. This spid can be killed using 'kill < spid > ' if traceflag 7866 is enabled, or if the time (in minutes) indicated by the SAP ASE configuration parameter 'async poll timeout' period has elapsed, then the task automatically returns from kctCheckAsync() function, closing the remote connection.
805301 In rare cases, the 940 error message, "Dbtable in wrong state for operation", may be repeatedly reported in the SAP ASE error log when a error related to dbt_keep count going into negative values happens in a specific clean up code path.
805449 The message, "Current process infected with 11 (SIGSEGV)", in the module copy_sqltext() followed by a stack trace including the modules sqlpars() and internal_sql(), may be reported in the SAP ASE error log after the configuration options 'enable monitoring' and 'show deferred compilation text' are turned on.

806094 The message, "Current process infected with 11 (SIGSEGV)", in the module 'tdsrecv_params' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'tdsrecv_rpc' and 'execrpc' may be reported in the SAP ASE error log when running an RPC, either when an error has caused the current command abort, or the end-user has interrupted the RPC execution, or the connection was lost. See KBA 2479094
806622 High contention may be seen on the spinlock 'Resource- > rdbt_spin' in a heavily loaded multi-engine SAP ASE system resulting in performance degradation, as shown in the Spins column of table monSpinlockActivity.

See KBA 2447629.
806726 In rare circumstances, the message "current process infected with 11" in the module 'ssql__ubffree' together with a stack trace which includes the modules 'sqt_put_in_stmtcache' and 'ssql__rmplans' may be reported in the SAP ASE error log during the execution of a query resulting in SAP ASE shutting down implicitly while holding the spinlock SSQLCACHE_SPIN.
806965 SAP ASE will intermittently fail to bring one or more engines online during boot while allocating memory for the engine. See KBA 2447283
807092 KBA 2455587 The Bucket Pool entries in the configuration file disappear after modifying a configuration parameter with sp_configure.
807666 In a replication environment using LTL, when Replication Agent ignores the truncation point received from Replication Server after determining that it is not valid as indicated by a warning message in the SAP ASE error log, data may stop being replicated or Replication Agent may terminate abnormally with a 624 error - "Adaptive Server failed to retrieve a row via its RID in database ' < db > ' because the requested RID has a higher number than the last RID on the page. < rid > . < page > "

808774 dbcc shrinkdb_setup fails with message 10350 state 45 when SAP ASE is configured to enable granular permissions. Workaround is to temporarily turn off granular permissions while running shrinkdb_setup.
808888 The fix for a long running internal 'sort_local' transaction during cursor processing causing tempdb log full scenario is turned on by default (previously TF 11821 was needed to turn this fix ON), and now TF 11820 can be used to turn the fix OFF.
809093 The error message "Logical page < page_num > is not in the given database map" will be printed in the SAP Backupserver error log followed by a stack trace in the SAP ASE error log including the module 'dmpld_send_dbdam_runlist' at DUMP DATABASE time if the database option 'allow incremental dumps' is enabled and SAP ASE failed to allocate the required number of pages to store the bitmap of changed pages.
809102 If the orphan table was created by a stored proc (so the table name starts by #toto01 #toto02 #toto03) and the stored proc us rerun by the same spid, the temporary tables is not detected as being an orphan and a "cannot create table because it already exists.." error may be reported.
809308 A 941 error, "Illegal database context operation", will be reported when LOAD DATABASE of master database is run.
809330 A 9502 error, "Data exception - string data right truncated Command has been aborted.", or truncated values for 'Name' column, may be reported if a configuration option name exceeds 25 characters while SP_MONITORCONFIG with the 'all' option is run and the set option string_rtruncation is enabled.
809381 In rare circumstances when REORG REBUILD is terminated using ^C, sp_help on the table undergoing REORG REBUILD returns error 17461, incorrectly indicating that object does not exist in the database.
