WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Stop the SMS_STATUS_MANAGER using the Systems Management Server Service Manager.
  2. Delete the oldest SQL file in the \SMS\Inboxes\statmgr.box\retry directory.
  3. Restart the SMS_STATUS_MANAGER using the Systems Management Server Service Manager.
  4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the Statmgr.log file no longer reports the SQL errors.
NOTE: Performing the workaround above may result in the loss of status messages. If losing currently queued status messages is acceptable, then you can simply delete all of the SQL files in step 2 and skip step 4.
