Hi All,
I am trying to take backup for Sybase database and transcation log as per below link,
http://scn.sap.com/thread/3245201
I was successfully able to take the backup for database without any issues but when I try to take the transcations log backup I end up with below error,
1> sp_dumptrans SBP
2> go
Msg 4208, Level 16, State 1:
Server 'SBP', Line 1:
DUMP TRANsaction to a dump device is not allowed while the trunc. log on chkpt.
option is enabled. Disable the option with sp_dboption, then use DUMP DATABASE,
before trying again. (Return status = 4208)

Later after checking the SAP guide for Sybase database we tried to setup below options,
=====================================================================================
Ensure that a complete sequence of transaction log archives is available at all times
For your SAP database <DBSID> it is mandatory that you ensure that the archived log sequence
remains unbroken.
To ensure a complete log sequence, set the following database options:
trunc log on chkpt, false
full logging for all, true
enforce dump tran sequence, true
You have to set these options after a successful DUMP DATABASE has been performed and before any
Set these options using the stored procedure sp_dboption to change database options. (Syntax:sp_dboption [dbname, optname, {true | false}] ). You must change to the master database to be able to change options for a database
========================================================================
My question is do I need to login to Master database to set this options because when I try to set the below option
sp_dboption 'master', 'trunc. log on chkpt', 'false'
I end up with below error,
When I try to login to master database with sa user I could not,I gave the same password which i gave it during the installation
Pelase advise on how to proceed further
Regards
Uday
change is made to the database,
