p_passwordpolicy

Description

An interface that a user with sso_role can use to configure login and password policy options.
Syntax

To specify, remove, and list new password complexity options:

sp_passwordpolicy {set | clear | list}, policy_option, option_value

To verify the password complexity options:

sp_passwordpolicy 'validate password options'

To generate asymmetric key pairs for network login password encryption:

sp_passwordpolicy "regenerate keypair"

To expire passwords:
sp_passwordpolicy sp_passwordpolicy sp_passwordpolicy sp_passwordpolicy "expire "expire "expire "expire role passwords", "[rolename | wildcard]" login passwords", "[login_name | wildcard]" stale role passwords", "datetime" stale login passwords", "datetime"

Parameters set

sets a value to an option. When using set, you must specify the policy_option.
clear

deletes the row for the option specified in the master.dbo.sysattributes table. If there is no policy option specified, clear deletes all the option rows in the sysattributes table. When using clear, you must specify the policy_option.
list

lists the values of the options specified. When using list, you must specify the policy_option.
policy_option, option_value

is the option parameter for set, clear, and list, with option_value being the their values:

Option allow password downgrade

Description Ends the password downgrade period. During the password downgrade period, passwords are stored in syslogins in both old and new encodings to allow user passwords to retained if the server is downgraded, for example, to Adaptive Server 15.0.2. Value of 1 turns this option on, and a value of 0 turns it off. Indicates the minimum number of digits to be allowed in a password. Indicates the minimum number of alphabetic characters in a password.

disallow simple passwords min digits in password min alpha in password

min special char Indicates the minimum number of special characters allowed in a password. in password min upper char in password min lower char in password systemwide password expiration password exp warn interval Indicates the minimum number of upper-case characters allowed in a password Indicates the minimum number of lower case characters allowed in a password. Indicates the system-wide password expiration in days.

Indicates the password expiration warning interval in days.

Sets the minimum length of the password. minimum password length maximum failed Sets the maximum number of failed logins allowed in a session before the account is locked. logins expire login Specifies that a login status changes to expired status when you create or reset your login. You are required to change your password on your first login.

"enable last login updates"

enables or disables code in Adaptive Server authentication that records the timestamp when each login occurs.The first parameter set sets the value of this attribute.The parameter list displays the current value of the attribute, and the parameter "clear" deletes the row from sysattributes. On upgrade or new installation, this attribute does not

exist in sysattributes. The login timestamp occurs when the attribute row does not exist or has a value of 1. The login timestamp is not maintained if the attribute value is 0.
expire login passwords", "[login_name | wildcard]"

expires login passwords, all logins or logins matching a wild card pattern. The column status in master database catalog syslogins is updated with a status bit LOGIN_EXPIRED (0x4) to indicate the password is expired.
"expire role passwords", "[rolename | wildcard]"

expires the password of a role, all roles or roles matching a wild-card pattern. The column status in master database catalog syssrvroles is updated with a status bit ROLE_EXPIRED (0x4) to indicate the password is expired:
"expire stale login passwords", "datetime"

expires login passwords have not been changed after a datetime specified. The column status in master database catalog syslogins is updated with a status bit LOGIN_EXPIRED (0x0004) to indicate that the password is expired. See Entering Date and Time Data in Adaptive Server 15.0 Reference Manual: Building Blocks, Chapter 1, System and User Defined Datatypes for an explanation of how datetime values are entered.
"expire stale role passwords", "datetime"

expires role passwords have not been changed after a datetime specified. The column status in master database catalog syssrvroles is updated with a status bit ROLE_EXPIRED (0x4) to indicate the password is expired.
"regenerate keypair"

generates the asymmetric key pairs to be used for network login password encryption.There is no catalog update for this option; the actions occur only in memory fields.
'validate password options'

reports errors or inconsistencies in the password complexity option values set, including length and expiration. The result is reported in a tabular format, with each row representing a validation step, the result of the step, and the validation test performed. The result is one of Pass, Fail, or Not Applicable (NA). If any validation test fails, the return status is set to 1.

Examples Example 1

Sets a password expiration warning interval to seven days before the password expires:
sp_passwordpolicy 'set', 'password exp warn interval', 7

Example 2

Lists the option for minimum number of special characters:

sp_passwordpolicy 'list', 'min special char in password'

Example 3

Resets disallow simple passwords to the default value:

sp_passwordpolicy 'clear', 'disallow simple passwords'

Example 4

How to include environment variables in LINUX/UNIX shell?

Its strongly recommended that before running any Sybase command ( Server startup, optdiag,bcp,isql etc) , you should have proper environment in current shell. All Sybase environment variable are defined SYBASE.sh (For KShell and Bash Shell)/SYBASE.csh ( For CShell) file in UNIX/LINUX platform. Its default location is $SYBASE (Sybase Server installation directory). Prior to perform any task on Sybase ASE Server, you should have all environment (environment variable) in the current Shell. You can include Sybase environment variable by executing the $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh. The Preferred method to include environment is by calling the $SYBASE/SYBASE.sh in Sybase user .profile(in Sun OS)/.bashrc ( in Linux). .bashrc/.profile presents in the $HOME dir of Sybase User. In windows, sybase.bat/sybase.env is environment variable file,resides in $SYBASE.
[sybase@localhost ~]$ vi .bashrc # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi # User specific aliases and functions #alias sql_profile='. /home/sybase/SQL/SYBASE.sh' #alias rep_profile='. /home/sybase/REP/SYBASE.sh' . /home/sybase/SQL/SYBASE.sh

To Check the environment, you can use set command or check any variable like this.

[sybase@localhost ~]$ echo $SYBASE /home/sybase/SQL

Which are important sybase environment variables?

$SYBASE (%SYBASE%) Sybase Home ( Sybase installation directory) $SYBASE_ASE ( %SYBASE_ASE%) Sybase ASE Home ( Sybase ASE Home in $SYBASE) $SYBASE_OCS (%SYBASE_OCS) Sybase Open Clinet Directory $DSQUERY Sybase Server name $ for UNIX/Linux. % for Windows.

How can we shutdown the Sybase ASE server?

How can we shutdown the Sybase ASE server? or What is difference between shutdown and shutdown with nowait

Server should be started.[1] sa_role is required for shutting down server. shutdown will wait for completion of all running processes and do shut down gracefully. shutdown with no wait will not wait completion of any process. It will kill all process immediately and server will proceed for winding up.
Example : Shutting down server 1> shutdown 2> go Example : Shutting down with nowait 1> shutdown with nowait 2> go

Caution :: Please use shutdown with nowait on your risk. It can put database under risk and delay database recovery/downtime during startup.

How to log in Sybase ASE server ?

New Features in Sybase ASE 15.x ?

MDA Installation Automaticaly. ASE 15.x isql client can now do large network packets. IPv6 platform support : IPv6 is now supported on IBM AIX. 15.0.2 ESD*1. Encrypted columns : meets US Government encryption standards. IN ASE 15.x, there are a number of partition level operations you can do. Reorgs can be done on a partition level.

ASE 15.0 and later versions no longer use vdevno. i.e. the disk init syntax doesnt need to mention the vdevno parameter(Even earlier, it was optional). Before 15.0, after changing a database option we need to use that database and do checkpoint on it. But ASE15.0 doesnt need

this.

ASE 15 Cluster Edition, a high-availability version of ASE similar to Oracles RAC. Dumping and loading databases with password protection:You can protect your database dump from unauthorized loads using the

password parameter of the dump database command. If you include the password parameter when you make a database dump, you must also include this password when you load the database.

Fast bcp: In 15.0.2, fast BCP is also allowed for indexed tables. Rest all things about bcp remain same, like select

into/bulkcopy/pllsort is enabled; logging only the page allocations in log etc.

Disk init syntax: Disk init syntax in 12.5 expects size parameter in K, M, and G only. From 15.0 and onwards, T (Terabyte)

can be specified.Also, pre 15.0; the maximum size of a device was 32GB

In ASE 15.0.2 IR, you can run sp_configure nondefault, which will list out, the configuration parameters set to non-default

values. It is veru usefull to check which config not using the dafult values.

Automatic update statistics : Instead of manually running update statistics at a certain time, you can set update statistics to run automatically at the time that best suits your site and avoid running it at times that hamper your system. The best time for you to run update statistics is based on the feedback from the datachange function. datachange also helps to ensure that you do not unnecessarily run update statistics.In ASE 15.0, Update statistics is not necessary after index rebuild. Also sp_recompile is not necessary after index rebuild. Application tracing: Version 15.0.2 of ASE comes with the new feature of application tracing. Understanding this feature is a must for every DBA,because it provides a simple mechanism to figure out what your client applications are actually doing:

app tracing lets you capture the SQL submitted to the ASE server by a specific client connection, and writes it into a file.

set tracefile /tmp/spid54.trace.out for 54 * where 54 is spid set show_sqltext on

VLDB Support: ASE 15 allows you to assign two billion logical devices to a single server, with each device up to 4 Tb in size. ASE 15 supports over 32,767 databases, and the maximum size limit for an individual database is 32 terabytes, extending the

maximum storage per ASE server to over 1 million terabytes!

Functional indexes: When applications need to search tables based on the result of a function, performance can suffer.

Functional indexes allow the server to build indexes on a table based on the result of a function. When repeated searches use that function, the results do not need to be computed from scratch.

Row-locked system catalogs :Adaptive Server version 15.0 converts most system catalogs to a datarows locking scheme. These

system catalogs continue to use allpages locking scheme: Materialized tables such as syslocks and sysprocesses. These tables are generated during run-time and their locking schemes are irrelavent for concurrency. sysmessages and sysusermessages, which are read-only tables. Auditing tables in sybsecurity, which are write-once and read many times.

Semantic partitions/smart partitioning: ASE 15 makes large databases easy to manage. And more efficient by allowing you to divide tables into smaller partitions which can be individually managed. You can run maintenance tasks on selected partitions

to avoid slowing overall performance, and queries run faster because ASE 15s smart query optimizer bypasses partitions that dont contain relevant data.

Query Processor: The Adaptive Server version 15.0 query processor is self-tuning, requiring fewer interventions than earlier versions. This version of Adaptive Server has less reliance on worktables for materialization between steps since the engine supports data flow between steps. However, more worktables could be used in cases where Adaptive Server determines that hash and merge operations are effective. Scrollable cursors:With large data sets, filing through a mountain of results data can be difficult. ASE 15s bi-directional scrollable cursors make it convenient to work with large result sets because your application can easily move backward and forward through a result set, one row at a time. This especially helps with Web applications that need to process large result sets but present the user with subsets of those results. Computed columns: Often applications repeat the same calculation over and over for the same report or query. ASE 15 supports both virtual and materialized columns based on server calculations. Columns can be the computed result of other data in the table, saving that result for future repeated queries.

Query processing metrics (qp metrics):Query processing (QP) metrics identify and compare empirical metric values in query

execution. When a query is executed, it is associated with a set of defined metrics that are the basis for comparison in QP metrics.

Large identifiers:There are new limits for the length of object names or identifiers: 255 bytes for regular identifiers, and 253 bytes for delimited identifiers. The new limit applies to most user-defined identifiers including table name, column name,

index name and so on. Due to the expanded limits, some system tables (catalogs) and built-in functions have been expanded.

User-defined web services:In addition to the Web methods provided by the Adaptive Server Web Services Engine, Web Services enables you to create Web services and execute SQL commands in Adaptive Server Enterprise using either a Web browser or a SOAP

client. These user-defined Web services use existing security and auditing control inherent in Adaptive Server Enterprise.

How to built server from 'srvbulidres' utility?

Thease are following given below step to built server from srvbulidres utlity :

Installed SYBASE ASE. Enable environment variable. /*(by default it is in directory where sybase installed. */ Loacte sample_resource_file: srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs (by default <DIR>: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files) Make a duplicate copy of $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/init/sample_resource_files/srvbuild.adaptive_server.rs -(srvbuild.adaptive_server_Dev1.rs) Pass required parameter in duplicate file for buliding server (in srvbuild.adaptive_server_Dev1.rs) Build server

What are static and dynamic parameters and what is diffenence between syscurconfigs and sysconfigures?
Configuration parameteres are those params which set behaviour of SYBASE ASE. It stores in configuration file . There are two type of configuration parameter in SYBASE ASE. 1. static params : 2. dynamic params : 1. static parameters are those parameters which require system re-boot for afftecting SYBASE ASE behaviour.These values store in sysconfigures. 1. dynamic parameters are those parameters which does not require system re-boot , afftects take place immediately and will reflect behaviour of SYBASE ASE.These values store in syscurconfigs. Whenever server starts up configuration variables set, on the basis of, sysconfigures and make a copy as syscurconfigs.

All dynamic variables change reflect in syscurconfigs and sysconfigures. All static variables change take place in sysconfigures.

Now you need to write threshold stored proc.

Configuring the DBCC DB in Sybase ASE?

1. Find out whether DBCCDB has been installed or Not 2. Dropped Already exist dbccdb databases 3. Planning of Resources -- During a dbcc checkstorage operation, the workspaces are temporarily bound to a cache which is also used to read the target database. Using a named cache that is dedicated to dbcc minimizes the impact of the database check on other users and improves performance. You can create a separate cache for each dbcc checkstorage operation that will be run concurrently, or you can create one cache that is large enough to fit the total requirements of the concurrent operations. The size required for optimum performance depends on the size of the target database and distributions of data in that database. dbcc checkstorage requires a minimum of 640K of buffers (each buffer is one extent) per worker process in the named cache.

-- Configuring named data caches does not divide the default cache into separate cache structures. The named data caches that you create can be used only by databases or database objects that are explicitly bound to them. All objects not explicitly bound to named data caches use the default data cache. -- Two workspaces are required for dbccdb: scan and text. Space requirements for the workspaces depend on the size of the largest database that will be checked. To run concurrent dbcc checkstorage operations, you need to set up additional workspaces. 4.
