Where to Look For SySAM Related Errors

All SySAM-related errors are printed in the Adaptive Server error log and are prefixed with "kernel SySAM." For example:

<timestamp> kernel SySAM: Failed to obtain 1 license(s)
for ASE_CORE feature from license file(s) or server(s).

See the Error Log Locations topic for where to find error logs.

If e-mail alerts are configured, recipients receive an e-mail whenever a SySAM event occurs.

You can always check the current state of SySAM licenses in Adaptive Server using the sp_lmconfig command. The output shows the current SySAM configuration and the status of each license.

If you are using a served license model, the license server’s debug log, located in the log directory, provides information about any license checkout issues.
