ASE 15.7 SP133 to be re-released as SP134

[former_member188958]

ASE 15.7 SP133 was released last week, but included the wrong version (OCS SP132) of the OCS (Open Client) component subdirectory.
SP133 has been removed from the download site and will be re-released as SP134 with the correct OCS component later this week (I'm told the target is "before May 11th").  Email has been sent to all identifiable contacts who downloaded the release (if you downloaded it but did not receive some notification, you might verify that your registered contact information contains a valid email address).

If you are using ASE for custom applications (i.e. not for SAP Business Suite, etc.) and have already installed SP133, you can correct the environment by downloading and installing the 15.7 SP133 SDK for ASE patch.

From https://support.sap.com/software/patches/a-z-index.html 

Go to "S" -> "SDK for SAP ASE" -> 15.7 -> your platform

If you have not already downloaded SP133, please wait for the SP134 release.

For SAP Application environments, if you have already applied SP133 engineering is writing up more detailed instructions.
If you have downloaded SP133 but not yet applied it please wait for SP134.

If you need a more formal announcement (for your manager, etc.) this information has also been published as KBA 2164138

Would you Please send me Readme file & CR List for SP134

Hello Wael,

We can't send you the Readme file and CR List for SP134. Please note, in order to view the contents of the Targeted CR List and SAP Notes/KBA , you will need to be logged into Service Marketplace.

Thank you.

Thanks for the information.

We've been running SP132 for 5 days and we're getting timeslice errors.

00:0002:00000:01812:2015/05/02 21:03:57.09 kernel timeslice -1501, current process infected at 0x17c051d (VTABRemoteAccess::getNext()+0xd3)

From what you've said - none of these errors are due to the packaging of SP133 ?

Can you confirm this is the case ?

[former_member188958]

Yes, the packaging issue with SP133 would not have an effect on SP132.

The timeslice error on VTABRemoteAccess:getNext looks like it mayh match CR 777205 which was fixed in the ill-fated SP133.  The fix for that CR will now be available in SP134, due out very soon.

Thanks for the information.

However, I have a typo in my message - this is on SP133.

I should have said

"We've been running SP133 for 5 days and we're getting timeslice errors."

Sorry about the confusion.

[former_member188958]

No worries.  I think it is worth seeing if applying the OCS patch resolves the timeslices.  "RemoteAccess" in the function name suggests connectivity components may be involved. 

[Former Member]

How can the OCS patch fix the bug in the server ? None of the application client run on the same

machine as the ASE server so we haven't upgraded any of them.

Do you have a link to CR777205 ?

Thanks

[luc_vanderveurst]

The dataserver is linked dynamically. When started it loads modules from the OCS directory :

ldd ./dataserver                                                                    

        ...

        libsybcsi_core29.so =>   /local/sybase/ase157/OCS-15_0/lib3p64/libsybcsi_core29.so

        libsybcsi_profiler29.so =>       /local/sybase/ase157/OCS-15_0/lib3p64/libsybcsi_profiler29.so

        libsybcsi_propertiesconfig29.so =>       /local/sybase/ase157/OCS-15_0/lib3p64/libsybcsi_propertiesconfig29.so

        libsybcsi_openssl29.so =>        /local/sybase/ase157/OCS-15_0/lib3p64/libsybcsi_openssl29.so

       ....

Best Regards,

Thanks

So we'll have to downgrade back to SP122 and wait for SP134.

Is the 11th May a realistic date ?

Mike

[former_member188958]

Yes, I think 11th May is realistic.  The release just has to be repackaged; I don't believe they are adding any additional fixes that might complicate things.

[Former Member]

Hi

Can you confirm if SP134 is being released on the 11th May.

Mike

[former_member188958]

Everything appears to be on track.

[Former Member]

Are we still expecting SP134 to be released today ?

[former_member188958]

15.7 SP134 is now available.
