  • Incremental dump is enabled:

sp_dboption <databaes>, "allow incremental dumps", true
go

  • Dumping the database reports the following error:

00:0016:00000:00220:2023/06/05 22:23:08.23 server  Error: 6918, Severity: 21, State: 2
00:0016:00000:00220:2023/06/05 22:23:08.23 server  The SYSDAMS page that stores the state of page 0 in database 'live' could not be found. The option 'allow incremental dumps' will be disabled because ASE cannot continue recording page modifications. Please contact SAP Technical Support.

  • Running dbcc dam('drop') the following error is reported:

1> dbcc dam(<database>,'drop')
2> go
Msg 3702, Level 16, State 1:
Server '<server>', Line 1:
Cannot drop or replace the system 'sysdams' because it is currently in use.
Msg 15975, Level 18, State 1:
Server '<server>', Line 1:
Attempt to drop the object 'sysdams' in database '<database>' failed.
DBCC execution completed. If DBCC printed error messages, contact a user with System Administrator (SA) role.

  • Disabling and re-enabling incremental dump would temporarily resolve 6918 error but error will eventually appear again over time
