Troubleshooting SySAM

When you start Adaptive Server with SySAM support, problems acquiring licenses or contacting the asset management software appear in the Adaptive Server error log file, lmgrd.log ($SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/log).

Authorization code input error

When you purchase licenses for Sybase Adaptive Server products, you are issued a Sybase Software Asset Management Certificate. The certificate has the following information for each product:

This information is used by SySAM to build the license file, with new licensed features appended to the end of the file. Here is a sample license file, license.dat:

SERVER server1 ANY 4100
VENDOR SYBASE $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/bin/SYBASEUSE_SERVERINCREMENT ASE_SERVER SYBASE 12.5 PERMANENT 1000 123456789123 SN=10001 OVERDRAFT=10000 ck=0INCREMENT ASE_JAVA SYBASE 12.5 PERMANENT 1000 123456789123 SN=10001 OVERDRAFT=10000 ck=0INCREMENT ASE_DTM SYBASE 12.5 PERMANENT 1000 123456789123 SN=10001 OVERDRAFT=10000 ck=0INCREMENT ASE_HA SYBASE 12.5 PERMANENT 1000 123456789123 SN=10001 OVERDRAFT=10000 ck=0

The authorization code is case sensitive. If you make a mistake while entering the authorization code, correct it by accessing the license file with a text editor, making the necessary changes, and saving the file.

The file is located in $SYBASE/$SYBASE_SYSAM/licenses/license.dat.

Warning!

Tampering with any portion of the licenses file other than the authorization code invalidates the license.
