Hello,
after switching from Oracle to Sybase two years ago (customer wish) I had to set up some standby databases, that works and the these standby dbs running fine, until a few days ago. One standby stops working during applying some transaction logs. Normally I would load the latest backup of the <SID> db and start applying again from that point, but the database service (Win2k8 R2 SP1) stops working. The service stays in starting mode, the log file doesn't log an error!
I didn't found a way to get the service running again, so I decided to reinstall the whole standby system.
Newest SWPM, uninstall > install (what's new, SWPM added new sybase users even they exists in AD (productiv side) (I had to change the user on the PRD system, because the internal windows id was changed)
So, Sybase service is running fine again and the SAP system was up.
Next step was, to reload the master db with the newest backup, start single user modus and loaded master db successfully.
After that, I started Sybase via service and logged on, and get the following error message:
Msg 921, Level 14, State 1: Server 'SID': Database 'saptools' has not been recovered yet - please wait and try again. Msg 4001, Level 11, State 1: Server 'SID': Cannot open default database 'saptools'.
In the SID.log I get the following error messages: (just the main part)

I didn't see an error like this before and I don't know how the "sybsystemprocs" db get marked as "suspect".
I retried to load the master db, that works, but if I try to load saptools, nothing happened. After "go", no error no other information.
Any idea how to get back to a "working" Sybase database?
Thank you!
Best regards,
