Sybase ASE Health Checks

Synopsis
There are many things which need to be examined in creating and maintaining server health. This discussion takes a look at a "Health Check Report" which was designed to run periodically and produce a web page which shows the "health" of the server and recommendations for improvement. The following sections will be examined from the report:

* Patch level
* Server name
* Configuration options (including # open objects, # open indexes, # open databases)
* Cache configuration
* Dataserver binary permissions
* Databases and options
* Space usage
* Segments
* Thresholds
* Data and log segmentation
* Sizing tempdb
* Database devices
* Default devices
* Login usage
* Database recovery order
* sa password
* Locked logins
* Roles
* Database owners
* Mismatched and orphan database users
* Remote servers and logins
