Hi Sandeep,

Just in case, to clarify, for the script, instead of P01 you should use your <SID>.

Cheers,
Victoria.

Hello Thavaheer patan,

Try This

dpmon pf="path of your instance profile"

Check also the INSTANCE profiles for the parameter SAPSYSTEMNAME and

make sure it reflects the SID of your system.

I hope this helps

K.Sandeep

Hi

Patan

Check the below sap note be i will be helpful for you

How do I login into Sybase?

As I mentioned earlier, I am absolutely new to Sybase and one of my first issue with it to know how to login to Sybase.

I see that there should be something called iSQL, which I cant find anywhere or if I have to call it from command prompt. (and how)

Hi danny,

Goto :\sybase\SBP\OCS-15_0\bin>isql

double click on that it will open GUI to login into sybase:

provide  Sa user & password..

there you have run that Script, before running the script you have to configure the backup details by using

• 1588316   SYB: Configure automatic database and log backups

Hope it helps you..

Regards,

Raj

Not sure I understand this fully.

But I tried running the SQL utility but had this error. I tried both 64 bit and 32 bit versions. I am going to try and find dll if it is in another folder and copy it across and see if that works.

Also do you want me to configure backup details before dumping transaction log?

Edited: I put these files in the dll folder and ran it. This opened a command prompt with password, when I enter a password, it closes the window.

So still not able to connect. At the moment my biggest challenge is to connect to the database as I see it. Also is there a default password for Sybase default master  sapsa?

I have SAP system user password and Windows System users, but dont know the sapsa and cant get it for another 2 weeks.

Finally I managed to connect to database. I had to use -X as qualifier for encription

Raj, is there a command that will simply delete the Transaction Logs. As I understand it, config is for regular work or is it also to resolve this specific case?

Hi Danny,

The flag "-X" is always required for isql session as we use network password encryption.
You may also use the "SQL Command Line" from DBACockpit.

To free space/remove inactive portion of the transaction log (would be like "delete"), and have a copy, dump transaction should be run in a regular basis. This is mentioned on the notes pointed by Raj:

• 1585981   SYB: Ensuring Recoverability for Sybase ASE

The periodicity may depend of your system workload and the size of your transaction log, recommendation is < 1h at least.

You can schedule that using DBACockpit, just check the other note Raj well pointed out :

• 1588316   SYB: Configure automatic database and log backups

Regards,
Victoria.

Hi Maria

I was able to do it somehow ! but I am now concerned that transaction log only gave some 824 KB as dump whereas original database dump gave me 200 GB.

So I wonder why SAINT failed. I am going to run it again, but wonder if I should be increasing transaction log file size, if yes how? I will repost this again in another thread, but if you already know the answer please let me know.

Sure I am a feel a little lazy and not reading through the sapnote unless I have to. I am only filling in for a Basis guy who is not here for few weeks.

DBAcockpit does not work and I am not debugging why.

Hi Rajasekhar,

Yes, my instance is running and i am able to execute all the transactions also.But in OS level when i execute OS level commands i am getting error as shown.

Regards,

Patan Thavaheer.

Hi Sandeep,

Yes my SAPSYSTEMNAME and SID are same in default and instance profiles.

Regards,

Patan Thavaheer.

Hi thavaheer,

Have You tried this below

dpmon pf=<driveletter>:\usr\sap\SID\profile\SID_DVEBMSGXXX.pfl

let me Know if it works or not.

Regards

K.Sandeep

Log in sybase and run the script as,

dump transaction <sid> using config = '<sid>LOG'

go

Before that you have to configure details like Backup destination & backtype.. etc. by using

Note :

• 1588316   SYB: Configure automatic database and log backups

it clear's the Log later you can use it..

Ragards,

Rajshekar

Hi Patan,

Login as <sid>adm in to OS and try those commands.

it might help.

Regards,

Rajshekar

Hi Sandeep,

I am executing the below commands using <SID>adm only.

Please find the output for the following command

C:\Users\mitadm>dpmon pf=D:\usr\sap\MIT\SYS\profile\<SID>_DVEBMGS00_XXXXX

DpMonInit failed - possibly no dispatcher running

DpMon: External/Internal dplib version: 120/139

Hi patan,

Can you Please Share the dev_disp Log..

and also, Run "sappfpar check pf=<instance profile name>" to see if you get any error & share me log for this also.

Regards,

Raj

Sort of what I expected.   All the physical IO and probably most of the CPU usage you are seeing is due to those queries.   With respect to your earlier concern and the log device, I would make it a very low priority right now.   Your #1 priority - and this should be treated as an *immediate* action is to add a couple of indexes.   I will explain why:

Take the top query in that output from earlier:

SELECT TOP1 FROM "ZRFID_ASSIGNMENT" WHERE "MANDT"= ? AND "RFID2" = ?

The only index on ZRFID_ASSIGNMENT is on the keys {MANDT, RFID1, EBELN, BEDAT, MBLNR, MJAHR, ZEILE}   ....note that the second column is RFID1 and not RFID2.   Consequently, the database has no choice other than to tablescan this table - which could drive a lot of physical reads, except DBA Cockpit is showing 0 for Total PhysicalReads.....but 17 billion logical reads.   All you need to do is:

create nonclustered index SAPSR3."ZRFID_ASSIGNMENT~Z0"

       on "ZRFID_ASSIGNMENT" ("MANDT","RFID2")

       with statistics hashing, statistics using 100 values

then

exec sp_recompile 'SAPSR3.ZRFID_ASSIGNMENT'

....and that query will be a ton faster and likely not consume as much data cache.

Similarly the second query:

SELECT * FROM "ZHU_RFID" WHERE "MANDT"=? and "ZRFID_MAT" IN (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ...)

That table has two indexes:

ZHU_RFID~0         {MANDT, HUNO, ZRFID_MAT, KDAUF, KDPOS}

ZHU_RFID~WIP    {MANDT, KDAUF, TCODE}

It is possible that the query shoud use ZHU_RFID~0 index as ZRFID_MAT is the third column - but since HUNO is not in the query, the optimizer has to look at how unique the HUNO column is and determine if it can simply do an OR strategy and use the index or if the HUNO column is too unique, then it has to consider an index leaf scan.   In this case, with the large IN() clause, it would have to make this determination for each of the IN() clause values and then aggregate the result to see if a table scan would be faster.   I suspect, it considered the latter....or an index leaf scan.    I would add an index:

create nonclustered index SAPSR3."ZHU_RFID~Z1"

       on "ZHU_RFID" ("MANDT","ZRFID_MAT")

       with statistics hashing, statistics using 100 values

As with the first query, this was not a major contributor to Physical Reads directly - OTHER than possibly that because of all the table scans, it was causing a lot of cache volatility resulting in tables being re-scanned as these table scans consumed memory.    If these tables are small, I would also consider adding them to the queue cache (see SAPNote on Best Practices).

However, if you look at the results you published, you will see a query that *DOES* do a lot of physical reads:

SELECT * FROM "ZMM_RFID_TRSPOST" WHERE "MANDT"=? AND "TOPLANT"=? AND "UBNUM" = ? OR "MANDT"=? AND "TOPLANT"=? AND "UBNUM" = ? ....

Which did 18 million physical reads.   If you do a sp_helpindex on that table, I suspect you will not find an index on the keys {MANDT,TOPLANT,UBNUM} which it needs.    Given that all of these are "Z" tables, I wonder if in the old system, no one sync'd the catalog with the indexes that were created on these tables and as a result, during migration, these indexes were not created as they were not in the catalog.   

What you also may want to do is do the same as before (use DBACockpit --> Performance --> Statement Cache) and this time click on the TotalPhysicalReads column to sort by Physical Reads.    Also, expand the query column or at least when posting, show enough that we can see the table names involved.    There is another query at line 5 of the original post that begins:

SELECT "EBELN", "EBELP", "ZEKKN", "VGABE", "GJAHR", "BELNR", ....

Which is also driving a large number of physical reads....but not enough of the query is visible to see even what table it is on - let alone the WHERE clause predicates to see what indexing should have been available.   However, with 14554 executions and 474096550 TotalLogicalReads + 3391082 TotalPhysicalReads, that is 32575 LogicalReads and 233 PhysicalReads per execution...that's a bit much unless the query is returning thousands of rows for every execution.  It is likely that either ASE is using a partial index that isn't very useful for the query as a whole or that there is a lot of data skew driving a table scan for one set of values but that cached plan is then used for others.   Impossible to tell without seeing the query, the indexes and some other data......but it also may not be one of the worst offenders as there may be even worse queries not visible in your output.   One option to consider is that most SAP screens (including DBACockpit) have the ability to output to a MS Excel spreadsheet.   If you get the results, you may want to do that as it is easier to work from vs. screen images and the full query text will likely be there as well.
