| sunny_slough | a sysmod on a prod db failed today with "E_QE0024_TRANSACTION_ABORTED The transaction log file is full" while processing iiattribute. we have a 2gb tx log file and iiattribute has 2160610 rows. What should I look for to identify the cause? | 03:09 |
|---|---|---|
| PaulM05 | what else was running? | 03:10 |
| sunny_slough | this was at 06:33, overnight batch completed at 01:00, backups completed at 05:30, no users logged in... | 03:11 |
| PaulM05 | no other sessions? no other batch jobs? possibly on other databases? | 03:12 |
| sunny_slough | no other sessions, all batch work complete, no other database active... | 03:14 |
| PaulM05 | was the archiver running? | 03:15 |
| sunny_slough | yes the archiver was active. | 03:17 |
| PaulM05 | hard to say without seeing the state of the logfile at the time. You're either looking from something holding open the BOF, or the sysmod itself can't fit in the logfile - which seems unlikely | 03:20 |
| PaulM05 | any errors in the logs around that time? | 03:22 |
| sunny_slough | sysmod issued E_US1262 Your transaction has been externally aborted.e rrlog contains E_DM010C_TRAN_ABORTED, E_QE0024_TRANSACTION_ABORTED, E_DM9059_TRAN_FORCE_ABORT... | 03:24 |
| sunny_slough | what is 'the BOF'? | 03:25 |
| PaulM05 | Beginning Of File - the logical start of the logfile, it gets moved forward when committed transactions are flushed by the archiver, if it doesn't move then the log will eventually fill up | 03:26 |
| PaulM05 | typical reasons are a session not committing, or archiver not running (therefore not flushing records) | 03:27 |
| sunny_slough | the sysmod that failed was the first of four, the remaining three completed ok, they were followed by successful checkpoint of iidbdb... | 03:30 |
| PaulM05 | so probably not that then - must be that the sysmod itself took a lot logging for some reason. Are the other system catalogs quite large too? | 03:31 |
| sunny_slough | the other system catalogs are small.. | 03:36 |
| PaulM05 | what version of Ingres is this? | 03:37 |
| sunny_slough | running 9.1.1 on solaris10 | 03:38 |
| PaulM05 | I guess the other question is what has changed since the last time it ran successfully? | 03:47 |
| sunny_slough | It last ran successfully on Friday,3 dec... we did have a problem with the server yesterday, a sysmod on iidbdb took over 7 hours to complete. | 03:54 |
| sunny_slough | We decided to reboot the server after the iidbd sysmod finished because a test to retrieve data from the online primary application failed (did not respond) | 03:55 |
| PaulM05 | do you have support? If so I'd log an issue | 03:56 |
| sunny_slough | We have support via Capita - the application provider, when we reported yesterday's problem they said we should not run sysmod on iidbdb, is that good advice? | 04:00 |
| sunny_slough | I will run today's problem past them too.... | 04:03 |
| PaulM05 | sorry - phone | 04:04 |
| PaulM05 | re: sysmod on iidbdb - I wouldn't say it's necessarily always a bad idea but it will lock out iidbdb which could be a problem, also it's unlikely to have much of a benefit on most systems | 04:06 |
| sunny_slough | thank you for generously giving your time this morning, issue logged with application provider.... | 04:19 |
| PaulM05 | no problem | 04:21 |
