2.2.8: DETECT SYSAM ERRORS AND TAKE THE APPROPRIATE ACTION
To avoid interruptions in service, it is CRITICAL that you regularly scan your log for SySAM messages and
take the appropriate action to resolve any error messages or warnings. Therefore, consider the
following:
SySAM performs licensing checks at various times during the server’s runtime cycle:
o
o
Some licenses are checked at startup, some upon access of the feature and some are
checked at both times.
Licenses are also checked periodically during the server’s runtime according to a
“heartbeat” interval of 2 to 24 hours. When invoked, a mechanism checks for any changes
and updates to ASE licenses.
Because SySAM checks for license issues on a regular basis during the server’s run cycle, SySAM errors
can be detected and reported at any time:
o
o
o
When a message is issued, it is important that you take the appropriate action in a timely
manner.
All SySAM-related errors are printed in the ASE error log and are prefixed with "kernel
SySAM:”. For example:
kernel SySAM: Failed to obtain 1 license(s)
For ASE_CORE feature from license file(s) or server(s).
If e-mail alerts are configured, recipients also receive an e-mail whenever a SySAM event
occurs.
o
o
o
When a license problem is first noted, ASE provides a 30-day grace period from the time of
build, if applicable.
SySAM error messages will provide date information to indicate if and when ASE will be
shutdown. Permanent licensing will support a runnable grace or run-time grace period.
To avoid interruptions in service, it is CRITICAL that you regularly scan your log for SySAM
messages and take the appropriate action to resolve any error messages or issues.
