2708671 - AUDIT PROCESS EXCEPTION: Can't allocate space for either syslogs or the current sysaudit table in database 'sybsecurity' - SAP ASE

• SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) has hung or sleeping processes
• The sleeping process cannot be killed via ASE "kill" command
• Corresponding connections are held and cannot be released on the application-side either
• Over time, the ASE runs out of user connections. Error 1601 is reported in the ASE errorlog
  

  Error: 1601, Severity: 17, State: 3
  server There are not enough 'user connections' available to start a new process. Retry when there are fewer active users, or ask your System Administrator to reconfigure ASE with more user connections.

• The following message is reported in the ASE error log:
  
  AUDIT PROCESS EXCEPTION: Can't allocate space for either syslogs or the current sysaudit table in database 'sybsecurity' because the corresponding segment is full/has no free extents. Please refer to Security Administration Guide for details.
  
  
• Increasing the value of ASE configuration parameter "number of user connections" does not help.
• Restarting the ASE does not help - problem resurfaces upon restart.

• SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 16.0
• SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) 16.0 for Business Suite
