This section contains error messages for Adaptive Server Remote Procedure Calls (RPC).

SQL Server error detected by %S_MSG. Refer to the preceding %S_MSG message.
Error Message 8006 is a general purpose message that Adaptive Server can raise in a number of situations when working with another Sybase server. The ‘%S_MSG’ in the message text is the name of the server that generated the error.
Most commonly, this error indicates that Backup Server encountered a problem in running the dump database or load database commands. When you issue a dump or load command from Adaptive Server, the server interprets the command and sends remote procedure calls (RPCs) to the Backup Server. As dumps and loads execute, Adaptive Server and Backup Server use RPCs to exchange instructions and status messages. Thus, an 8006 error during a dump or load is typically accompanied by additional messages originating from the Backup Server.
Note the date-time stamp of the 8006 error in the Adaptive Server error log. Check the other server’s error log (for example, the Backup Server’s error log) for error messages corresponding to that time.
If there are any Backup Server errors, refer to Chapter 4, “Backup Server Error Messages,” and look up the error description for assistance. Here are some common errors:
3.17.2 means that Adaptive Server was started from a directory other than its default working directory. See the writeup for Error 3240 in this manual for details.
4.76.3 means that the actual master device size does not match the value in sysdevices.high. See the writeup for Error 5013in this manual for a description of how to reset the high value.
4.82.2 means that there was an error in reading from or writing to a dump device. Check device and directory permissions.
If no other errors accompanied the 8006 message, there may be a problem with Backup Server. Take the following steps:
Use the showserver utility to check that Backup Server is running. Refer to the Adaptive Server utility commands manual for your platform for assistance.
Log into Adaptive Server and verify that you can communicate with Backup Server, using the following command:
1> exec SYB_BACKUP...sp_who 2> go
Under normal situations, you should see a few lines of sp_who output.

Error encountered by %S_MSG. Please refer to %S_MSG messages for details.
Error 8009 is a general purpose message that Adaptive Server can raise in a number of situations when working with another Sybase server. The `%S_MSG' in the message text is the name of the server that generated the error. Most commonly, this error indicates that Backup Server encountered a problem in running the dump database or load database commands.
When you issue a dump or load command from Adaptive Server, the server interprets the command and sends remote procedure calls (RPCs) to the Backup Server. As dumps and loads execute, Adaptive Server and Backup Server use RPCs to exchange instructions and status messages. Thus, an 8009 error during a dump or load is typically accompanied by additional messages originating from the Backup Server.
Check the Backup Server and Adaptive Server error logs for additional messages. If there are any Backup Server errors, refer to Chapter 4, Backup Server Error Messages, for assistance in resolving the error.
If no other errors accompanied the 8009 message, there may be a problem with Backup Server. Take the following steps:
Use the showserver utility to check that Backup Server is running. Refer to the Adaptive Server utility commands manual for your platform for assistance.
Log into Adaptive Server and verify that you can communicate with Backup Server, using the following command:
1> exec SYB_BACKUP...sp_who 2> go
Under normal situations, you should see a few lines of sp_who output.
If Backup Server is down or is not communicating, restart the server and repeat the above steps. If the problem persists, contact Sybase Technical Support.
