What should I do if I received error mail saying transaction logs full ?
You
will receive this error if you are using Microsoft SQL backend for
SQLDBManager Plus and if the transaction log for SQLDBManager
Plus or tempdb becomes full. If the log fills up SQLDBManager Plus
can only be read and show data but cannot insert or update data being
collected. User action is required to make log space available.
You can try the following steps to fix this problem :
- Shutdown SQLDBManager Plus
- If you have sufficient disk space, Increase the size of log file or Add another log file to database
- If
you do not have sufficient disk space, Move the log file to a disk
drive with sufficient space or Free disk space so that the log can
automatically grow
- Take a backup of the transaction logs of the SQLDBManager Plus backend database. For ex: BACKUP LOG SQLDBM TO DISK = 'd:\SQLDBM.bak'
- Change the SQLDBManager Plus backend database recovery mode to SIMPLE. For ex: ALTER DATABASE SQLDBM SET RECOVERY SIMPLE;
- Execute the DBCC SHRINKDATABASE for the backend database. For ex: DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (SQLDBM);
- For enabling future database backups, Change the database recovery mode to FULL. For ex: ALTER DATABASE SQLDBM SET RECOVERY FULL;
- Start SQLDBManager Plus
Note : If
you do not have sufficient disk space or log file allocated space the
problem reoccur again after some time. Its recommended that you allocate
sufficient disk / log file space for the SQL Server backend. For disk
space requirement refer the following System Requirements link : https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/sql/help/installation/system-requirements.html
