Bonjour Community,
this weekend I have experienced an issue where I had a process, on my Sybase ASE CE SP136, that was sleeping and blocking 30 other processes.
All my attempts to kill the sleeping process lead to nothing. To clear up thing, I had to reboot the cluster in middle of a production day which, you surely know, is far from optimal.
I have use the kill SPID and also the kill SPID with force which seems to a Sybase ASE 16.0 feature but looks like being partially coded in 15 (but lead to nothing more that the usual kill).
What can cause such a process going to sleep and what can be done besides reboot the entire cluster, to get rid of such process?
P.S. Even trying to kill all blocked processes lead to nothing, they refused to go away!
