SYMPTOMS

The Edit Database window of SQL Enterprise Manager (SEM) reports the database space available or log space available as a value less than or equal to 0 when free space is actually available. This problem occurs even after you use the Recalculate button to recalculate the amount of free space.

To work around this problem, use the Recalculate button and then run the CHECKPOINT command in the database.

STATUS
