Enterprise Manager denying access to databases

  • Hi,

    I am running several databases on a server cluster and have now been locked-out by the enterprise manager. I think the root cause of this problem was one of the databases' transaction logs filling up the disk partition upon which it was set up.

    Since this happened I have been unable to access any of the databases on the cluster and am stuck with a system which I cannot repair or administer.

    Can anyone help with this at all, as it's super urgent?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jay.

  • Just an idea you may want to try.

    Access a different server and set up a link to the server causing you problems. You can then run a command to free up some space. e.g. back up log with truncate only.

  • Thanks Johnathan.

    Just to let you know that the problem I encoutered was as a result of the database going into automatic recovery mode due to a BizTalk purge script which caused locks that left the database in an inconsistent state.

    It turned out the only thing to do was wait until the database had fully recovered - this can take a long time if the database is large - when this is complete you should be able to once again access your data.

    Thanks,

    Jay.
