Error 4205 Sybase

memory to allocate backout structure. Explanation: Command failed due to resource limitation. Modify the command to fit available resources, retry when the resource is available, or contact your System Administrator to address the resource problem. 4204 17 Unable to continue logged version of DUMP TRAN. No space left in database; use NO_LOG option or run ALTER DATABASE. Else, an old transaction may be active; see Syslogshold table. Explanation: Refer to the writeup for this error. 4205 16 Syslogs does not exist in its own segment in database `%S_DBID' with segmap `%ld' with logical start page number of `%ld'. You cannot use DUMP TRANSACTION in this case, use DUMP DATABASE instead. Explanation: A database maintenance operation failed. Take any corrective action indicated by the message. Check the Adaptive Server error log. 4206 16 You cannot run DUMP TRANsaction WITH NO_LOG inside a user transaction. Explanation: Command failed due to invalid or illegal request. Check syntax, semantics, and permissions. Take any corrective action indicated by message. 4207 16 Dump transaction is not allowed because a non-logged operation was performed on the database. Dump your database or use dump transaction with truncate_only until you can dump your database. Explanation: Refer to the writeup for this error. 4208 16 DUMP TRANsaction to a dump device is not allowed while the trunc. log on chkpt. option is enabled. Disable the option with sp_dboption, then use DUMP DATABASE, before trying again. Explanation: A database maintenance operation failed. Take any corrective action indicated by the message. Check the Adaptive Server error log. 4210 16 While attempting DUMP TRANsaction WITH NO_TRUNCATE, couldn't find database %.*s. Explanation: A database maintenance operation failed. Take any corrective action indicated by the message. Check the Adaptive Server error log. 4211 23 Couldn't complete DUMP TRANsaction WITH NO_TRUNCATE on database `%.*s', because the log pointer in sysdatabases (page number %ld) is not accurate. Explanation: The database may be corrupt. Report the error to your System Administrator. Adaptive Server must be restarted and dbcc diagnostics run. 4212 16 Page %ld in database `%.*s' cannot be used as a truncation page because the page belongs to object ID %ld and not to the log. Choose another page. Ex

State 2 Message text Dump transaction is not allowed because a non-logged operation was performed on the database. Dump your database or use dump transaction with truncate_only until you can dump your database. Explanation This error occurs when you have performed a minimally logged operation such as bcp in or select into on the database, followed by a dump transaction to a dump device. The dump transaction is not allowed because your database contains data that cannot be recovered from the log. The log could not be used to recover the database http://infocenter-archive.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.39996_1250/html/svrtsg/svrtsg320.htm properly. For instance, if a user does a select into followed by an update, data for the select into is not recorded in the log, so the update cannot be recovered from the log. A minimally logged operation is one in which changes to the data itself are not logged to the transaction log. All changes to the allocation structures resulting from the operation are logged http://infocenter.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.infocenter.dc00729.1500/html/errMessageAdvRes/BGBJCAIH.htm to the transaction log. Note that simply enabling the select into / bulkcopy option does not, in itself, cause this condition. The option must be set and a minimally logged operation executed before this error message is reported during a dump transaction to a dump device. Dumping the database creates a new save point on which subsequent transaction logs are based. Therefore, dumping the database ensures that the minimally logged changes are recoverable and dumping the transaction log to a device is once again allowed. Action Perform a dump database. Disabling the select into/bulkcopy option using sp_dboption will not allow you to dump the log. You must dump the database to clear the 4207 error condition. You may want to disable the select into/bulkcopy option to prevent any further nonlogged operations in your database. You may need to use dump transaction with truncate_only until you can perform a full database dump. If you must do this, you will lose the ability to recover up-to-the-minute changes in data in case of a media failure. Versions in which this error is raised All versions Copyright © 2008.

Message text Unable to continue logged version of DUMP TRAN. No space left in database; use NO_LOG option or run http://infocenter-archive.sybase.com/help/topic/com.sybase.39996_1250/html/svrtsg/svrtsg215.htm ALTER DATABASE. Else, an old transaction may be active; see Syslogshold table. Explanation This error occurs when Adaptive Server runs out of space in the transaction log during a dump transaction command. Action You have the following options for recovering from Error 4204: If any old transactions are active, determine whether they can be error 4205 terminated. If such transactions do exist and they can be terminated, then you can dump the transaction log, which may free up space in the database. Perform a dump transaction with the no_log option. dump transaction with no_log removes the inactive part of the log without making a backup copy and without recording the procedure error 4205 sybase in the transaction log (performs a checkpoint). Extend the transaction log segment. Each of these options is described below. Check for Old Transactions In the master database, there is a table called syslogshold. This table contains information about each database's oldest active transaction (if any) and Replication Server truncation point (if any) for the transaction log. This table is built dynamically when you query it. Check syslogshold for old transactions for the database for which the error occurred: 1> use master 2> go 1> select * from syslogshold 2> where dbid = database_ID 3> go Determine whether the oldest active transaction can be terminated (perhaps it was left active unintentionally). If you can terminate this transaction and then execute a dump transaction with no_log command, space may be returned to the database. Continue this process until there are no other old transactions that can be terminated. If, after terminating some old transactions, you still get Error 4204, try one of the other opti
