Hi all

The file 'ATPP25' has been expanded beyond its maximum size to prevent recovery from failing. Contact the system administrator for further assistance.

How to deal with the above issue..

Thanks in advance..

Again,

Is the database size limited?

or

Is the disk full?


On SQL Server 2000

If the database is limited:

1 Go to Enterprise Manager.
2 Click on the Server that the database lives on
3 Click on Databases
4 Find you database and right click on it
5 Click on Properties
6 Select the Datafiles tab
7 Make sure the "Automatically grow file" checkbox is ticked.
8 Select the Maximum file size to "Unrestricted File Growth"
9 Then click on the Transaction Log tab and repeat steps 7 and 8.

If the disk is full. Free up some space on the physical disk that database/transaction log lives on. You can determine the letter of that disk from the same tabs as above (by looking at the path under "location".

Hope that helps.

Yes, you can. Again you can use enterprise manager. I'm not sure at what stage (or how) it starts using the secondary log file. It may occur automatically. I'm unsure.
