Getting SYSTEM ERROR: Releasing multiplexed latch, but not t

Posted by S33 on 17-May-2017 13:30

I'm getting a db crash with "SYSTEM ERROR: Releasing multiplexed latch" in the .lg file. i saw a k-base article about this when the BI file filled the disk. That's not happening here - my B1 is only 128k and there's plenty of room.

What else causes his error?

This is enterprise 10.2b on redhat linux 7.

Here's a snippet:

On UNIX: kill -9

Or, on Windows, terminating a process with task manager.  Or logging off the console when some background process  shares your userid.

3096224744692744 = 0x000B0000 000D5C08

It's a BUF latch family. Process was killed while it read a block in buffer pool.

Find the PID of user 17 in the db log - "User 17 died holding 1 shared memory locks"

As Tom said, usually this is from a process getting killed and not being able to back out its transaction.

If this happens regularly, you might be able to find a pattern.
