Undistributed Commands Keeps Growing

May 21, 2007

I have a sql2005 transactional replication replicating several databases between 4 servers, all of the replication are working fine except 1 that is going to a sql2000 sp4 enterprise database. The undistributed commands grows by several hundred thousand records a day, yet all of the records counts match exactly. At first this server was having a lot of lock issues, so i thought maybe that was the cause, but over the weekend i dropped replication and resnapshotted it. Without any activity ocurring on this database this weekend it continued to grow at the same rate

Undistributed Commands Not Decrementing

Apr 7, 2008

I was pointed to this forum by one of the admins who has started doing some consulting work for us. We did a major conversion over the weekend for our main production server to SQL 2005 from SQL 2000. We have used replication to go from the live OLTP server to a few dedicated report servers for all of our reporting needs. In 2000 this was pretty well established (though a pain when we had to migrate in changes; I love the 2005 schema features for replication).

The only problem we have really encountered today, the Day After, involves replication. A few minor things involve lack of knowledge (like nonclustered indexes don't replicate by default, that was an OOPS). But one thing I haven't figured out yet.

Replication is working -- we are updating three servers, and all three servers are getting updates. I have run a validation on one of them and it passed in full. However, the "undistributed commands" count never goes down. It actually keeps going up and up. I verified that by first running this on the subscriber:




select transaction_timestamp
from MSreplication_subscriptions



And taking the results of one of the three rows that came back and executing this with it:




sp_browsereplcmds @xact_seqno_start = '0x00000231000006ED000100000001'




which brought back all of the "undistributed commands". Within that list, I looked for sp_MSins_ procedures. I found a few and looked up on the subscriber the value to be inserted -- and it existed on the subscriber. So it still is in MSrepl_commands even though it has been sent out.



I am afraid that eventually the system will "think" that the process isn't working and deactivate the subscriptions. Also this is useless as a monitor. Since this is our first major replication in 2005, I am willing to bet that we are missing something. Does anyone have any advice?

Transactional Replication - Undistributed Commands

Oct 11, 2006

Hello,

I have a publisher set up to transactionally replicate just one table which has about 19000 rows. The snapshot agent finished and everything was OK the first day. Now (day 2) the replication monitor estimates that latency to the subscriber = 10 hours and undistributed commands>600,000 and growing each minute. How could this be when data is only inserted into this table and it has <20,000 records? Please advise...thanks!

Replication Monitor Undistributed Commands Tab

Oct 16, 2007

Hi,


We're testen a simple lan SQL 2005 SP2 one way transactional replication config.
Data is replicated ok, but in the Replication Monitor we found some strange issues:


- The subscription is giving a latency warning.
When we insert a tracer tocken the total latency is 5 secs.
Is there a way to alter the warning level for a subscription??


- Undistributed Commands tab
Changes do arrive at the client, but the distributed commands counter
shows an increase in value for every (as far as we can tel succesfull) change

If we do insert a tracer token -wich arrives within 5secs.- the the
counter is reset to zero.


thank you very much for any feedback

What Is Going On Here? SQL Commands And ODBC Commands Aren't Compatible

Oct 1, 2004

I'm building a simple webform, except Visual Studio and my service provider have combined to drive me nutty.

First, I MUST use an ODBC connection to my remote SQL Server do to some unknown configuartion problem. I've been playing with Visual Studio for only a month, so normally when something goes wrong I can go look in the mirror and find the culprit. This is different. I've got a totally functional web form with a SQL Connection, but when I try to change it to an ODBC Connection, I get the following error.

An OdbcParameter with ParameterName '@CertHolder' is not contained by this OdbcParameterCollection

My coding is fine because I stole it straight from the walkthrough and it works. But the specifications that Visual Studio provide are quite suspect. Please note the failure to include some key "@" signs.

Replication :: Undistributed Transactions Build Up At Same Time Each Night

May 12, 2015

There is a database "Foo" sitting on server "A". There is a database "Bar" sitting on server "B". A.Foo publishes a subset of its schema. B.Bar subscribes to A.Foo's publication. The distribution database is on "B" (B.distributor). This a push subscription (transactions are pushed to the subscriber from the distributor). Every day (including the weekend) I get the following alert:

"5/12/2015 3:53:16 AM, Unsubscribed Transactions (Count) onĀ "B" is Warning.

SQL Server instanceĀ "B" has 636771 unsubscribed replication transactions received by the Distributor and not received by a Subscriber.

Unsubscribed Transactions (Count): Number of replication transactions received by the Distributor and not received by a Subscriber."

The number of transactions will vary. The alerts will be sent between 1:20 AM (EST) and 3:30 AM (EST). I'm trying to figure out what is causing the backup of transactions. I assume the issue precedes the alerts by 30-minutes or so.

There are no backups occurringNothing is blocking the distributor agent in the subscription databaseJob activity is at a minimum; the few jobs running run throughout the dayThe machine has plenty of resources -- CPU, RAM, etc.The publisher database shows no signs of stress.

Transaction Log Growing And Growing

Aug 22, 2001

I upgraded from SQL 6.5 to SQL 7 last month, and so far, everything's
been going fine.

However, I'm not using my old SQL 6.5 backup scripts, which, when the
backup was done, would dump the transaction log with TRUNCATE_ONLY, shrinking
the log size.

My SQL 7 server is set up with a Maintenance Plan which does everything,
including backup, but the log file seems to be growing and growing. I'm
up to 4.5 gigs now, for a database with a data file of 3.5 gigs.

How do I "dump transaction with TRUNCATE_ONLY" on a SQL 7 database?

Thanks,
Todd Wallace

MSmerge_tombstone Growing And Growing

Mar 1, 2004

I have merge replication setup up for 6 SQLCE Subscribers.
I have noticed that the MSmerge_tombstone table is growing
at a fast rate regardless of any changes to the data in
the database. It seems to be consistantly adding 50 rows
of data to the table every 2 minutes. As the table grows
it causes the SQLCE subscirbers to fail with the following
message:

ERROR: -2147467259
SQL Server Reconciler failed: Run

ERROR: -2147200925
: Failed to enumerate changes in the filtered
articles.

ERROR: 0
: {call sp_MSsetupbelongs
(?,?,?,?,?,0,?,?,1,?,?,?,?,?,?)}

ERROR: 0
: The merge process timed out while executing a
query. Reconfigure the QueryTimeout parameter and retry
the operation.

I'm sure that this is due to the size of the
MSmerge_tombstone.

Should the MSmerge_tombstone table grow at this rate?
36,000 rows every 24hrs!

I understand there is the sp_mergecleanupmetadata Stored
procedure but if i use this does that mean that because i
have to reinitialise all the subscribers, they are going
to have to pull down the whole subscription again.

I have since Changed a settings to make subscription
expiration date to 8 days instead of never expires but
we're still getting 50 rows added every 2 minutes

SQL SERVER 2000 SP3
Hope someone can shed some light on this for me.

Thanks.

Transaction Log Not Growing

Mar 28, 2000

I wonder if anyone could explain why when monitoring the transaction log size it doesn't appear to be growing! I'm using the following code to test image data types with logging.. I've got 'Truncate log on Checkpoint' switched off and 'Select into Bulk copy' also switched off.

Running the following code I would expect to see the transaction log grow and grow and grow... Monitoring it using perfmon indicates that it isn't in fact logging...

DECLARE @ptrval varbinary(16)

SELECT @ptrval = TEXTPTR(pr_info)
FROM pub_info pr INNER JOIN publishers p
ON p.pub_id = pr.pub_id
AND p.pub_name = 'New Moon Books'

declare @Loop int
select @Loop = 0

While @Loop <= 10000
BEGIN

WRITETEXT pub_info.pr_info @ptrval
with log
'New Moon Books (NMB) '

select @Loop = @Loop + 1

END

At What Rate Is The Db Growing???

Oct 27, 1999

Hello,

Does 7.0 store db Growth rate information?

I am looking for information that tells me how fast a db is growing in MB and or percentages over a given period of time, ie weekly, monthly, yearly etc. Either in real numbers or estimates. Does 7.0 already store something like this or do I need to create some code for this?

Or does someone have something like this already coded that they would be willing to share?

Thank you in advance.

Growing Tempdb

Feb 2, 2000

In SQL Server 7.0 sp1 (NT 4.0 sp5) I have a server that
has a tempdb database that continues to grow. This server
contains the database for SMS. Over the weekend, the tempdb
had grown so much that it filled up the drive (37GB). I have
shrunk it down to a much more reasonable size and put a limit
on how large it can grow. I'm noticing today that it is
beginning to grow again. Is there a way I can look at the
information that is in tempdb right now? I have to think
that there are open transactions for some reason that can't
commit. I know that tempdb gets cleared out when SQL Server
is restarted, but I can't be restarting it this often.

On Microsoft's website, I did find an article about SMS Y2K
queries using large amounts of Tempdb and failing to complete.
The solution they have in this article Q234912 is to install
SMS sp1 which is already installed.

I haven't been able to find any other useful information yet
on this problem. I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks!

Transaction Log Growing

Jan 24, 2003

Greetings,

My database has a situation where my transaction log is growing out of control. However I have not been able to figure out where any memory leaks are occuring.

Is there a way to monitor the database in order to find out at when the tlog is growing. Or even better, what sql is being executed that is causing this unreasonable tlog growth?


Thanks a million,

Tempdb Growing

Apr 9, 2006

Hi there,
My tempdb is growing from its normal size of 800MB to 2GB.
I've been shrinking it using dbcc shinkfile/ dbcc shrinkdatabase.
Everytime I run the command, immediately it says that the execution is completed and successful. However, when I checked the disk space, it remained the same, as though no shrinking is done. Can anyone help?
Also, it was published that restarting the SQL server can re-create tempdb from scratch. I've tried it too, the tempdb just wont go back to its normal allocation. My constraint is limited disk space, would appreciate any good samaritan to give me some help here.
Thanks in advance!

Transaction Log Growing

Feb 29, 2008

I am having problems with the transaction log growing. I set up a maintenance plan to backup every 15 minutes. The recovery model is set to full. It is set to auto grow by 10 percent with unrestricted file growth. The space allocated is 2mb. Should this be set higher? It seems whenever I unchecked the auto shrink, the log is growing larger. The command I use to check is:

SELECT *
FROM sysfiles
WHERE name LIKE '%LOG%'
GO

This is the log size and the log space used.

1.492187538.02356

This has grown 4 percent since yesterday. Are there any good practices to maintain these log files?Any help would be appreciated.

Database Growing Rapidly. What To Do?

We have a database that's growing pretty fast because of firewall logs. We need the data available via an asp.net application. I don't have great experience with SQL other than installing and doing some development as a back end, so i'm wondering if there's a general rule of thumb of database size, when you should start breaking it out into smaller segments? if so, what are some good practices?

Automatically Growing The Database

How To Avoid A Growing Transaction Log

Mar 12, 2003

I have to admit, I'm usually using the MySql database, but in this particular case I have to use MSSQL 2000.

Over to my problem.

I'm building a web-based system (who isn't these days) in which the user types arbitrary information that is published when the user pushes the save button. Nothing new about that.

Here comes the tricky part, when the user wants to edit an existing item I copy all information in the database and sets the id of the 'edit-copy' to the negative value ( id 45 becomes id -45 for the edit-copy). This is also done on all items in other tables that is connected to the main item.

This way I get a copy that the user may edit without messing up the published information. When the user is done I either delete all the negative items (cancel) or delete the positive items and update the negative to become positive (save).

So far so good, allmost... my problem is that the transaction log grows tremendously.

Is there any other way to accomplish a safe edit that doesn't affect the transaction log as much as my current solution?

Could I be doing something wrong when updateing or deleteing my items?

TempDB Growing Fast

Sep 10, 2003

I notice this morning that my tempdb grows very fast. I have 26GB in my
hardrive and all the space occupied by tempdb and finaly the qeury got failed due to 0 space in hardrive and there is no space to grow tempdb.
The select query supposed to bring about 40000 rows.
I ran this same query in different server that is not growing even 1 mb.
I checked the tempdb option the Trunc log on checkpoint is true.

Why this problem happening ?.
I have just dbo permission to access all the database.
Do you have any advice regarding this?.

Log File Growing Uncontrollably?

Nov 8, 2012

My log file was 2x the size of my actual Database which is obviously too large on a DEV box. I know that my data can be easily recovered so I actually do not even want/need a log file.

After doing some investigation I found that I should turn my database into "Simple Recovery Mode" and after this I used a few scripts to truncate my log file. Things at this point looked great!

Unfortunately my log File is still growing even with this 'simple recovery mode'. So how do I stop this craziness from occurring?

I even unchecked the box 'allow autogrowth' on the database! However, I eventually get errors when creating records in the system because it complains about running out of room in the log file.

Code:

The transaction log for database 'ReportingDB' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

Transaction Log Growing Uncontrolled?

Jan 28, 2014

The transaction log of a database grows until it runs out of disk space. If disk space is full, all databases on instance may get problems. Because of this i have set a limitation on how much it may grow, up to 40 GB. It grows in steps of 100 MB. It reaches its limit a couple of times a week, causing the application to hang.

The database file itself is about 2,3 GB large.

The SQL version is 10.50.4276, SQL2008R2 SP2.

The recovery model is FULL.

I have a backupjob that runs a FULL Backup at midnight.And a backupjob that runs a LOG backup every 30 minutes.Both finishes with success. However, the transaction log is never truncated, the unused space is never released.

I have checked for "long running jobs", it sometimes sys "backup_log", sometimes "active_transaction".

Could a workaround be to set the recovery mode to simple, and create a full-backup job that runs every 30 minutes for this database? It is a critical database....

Tempdb Growing Out Of Control

Mar 22, 2004

Hi all.

I have a db application that has been running fine for months. Volumes have been gradually increasing and one day the system locked up.

A stored proc that typically ran in 3 or 4 minutes never returned. The tempdb kept expanding to fill available disk space (100GB). This was the offending statement inside the stored proc:

INSERT INTO cpp (CPPDate,MerchantLink,ReportNumber,FromDate,ToDate ,TransThreshold,DayThreshold,CPPType)
SELECT S.CPPDate,S.MerchantLink,s.ReportNumber, s.FromDate,s.ToDate, S.OccurThresh,s.DaysThresh,'D'
FROM #stuff S, Trans T with (nolock), Supplier P with (nolock)
where T.MerchantNumber in (SELECT MerchantNumber FROM Merchant WHERE MerchantLink = s.MerchantLink)
AND T.TranDate >= S.FromDate
AND T.TranDate <= S.ToDate
AND T.LoadDate <= @ReportDate2
AND (T.SupplierNumber = P.SupplierNumber
AND T.IncludeInCpp = 'Y'
AND P.CountryNumber IN (SELECT CountryNumber FROM REPORTCOMBO WHERE ReportNumber = s.ReportNumber))
GROUP BY CPPDate,Merchantlink,ReportNumber, FromDate,ToDate, OccurThresh, DaysThresh
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT T.AccountNumber) >= OccurThresh

I realize that a "group by" uses the tempdb, but can't figure out why it would go away rather than returning an error.

I have a workaround in place now. I split this big query into several steps using a cursor. (slower and clumsier, but it works) Statistics are updated daily, i have tried defragging, and reindexing with no success.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. If you need any more details, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Transaction Log Growing All The Time

Apr 30, 2007

Hi there,



We have a Principle, Mirror and Witness set-up and all is working fine, however, the transaction logs for a few large databases just keep growing over a the course of the month until the disk is full. As I understand it, and having tried you can't dump the transaction logs while mirroring is configured, is there any way at all to commit and truncate the logs while mirroring is running or do I have to manually remove the mirroring each month, dump the transaction logs and then re-enable it again after doing the backup/restore?



The databases in question are about 6GB in data size and the transaction logs can grow to be about 60GB in a month.



Would a normal SQL Server 2005 backup truncate the logs if I configured this? At the moment we use Litespeed for SQL server for nightly backups.



Any advice would be very helpful.



Thanks

Automatic Growing Textbox

Nov 15, 2007

I am showing a Multi Value parameter on a Report, in a textbox that has CanGrow = True.

This is fine when there are only a few value in the parameter, but when many values have been selected, the fact that the textbox grows automatically to accommodate the contents means that this textbox can become quite large.

I am using the value of:
Join(Parameters!ParameterName.Label,", ")

Is there any way to either limit the number of values of a parameter when displaying in this way, or of setting a maximum size for an automatically grow textbox?
Or anything else that would solve this issue?

Thank you very much in advance!

Templog Is Growing Too Fast

Dec 1, 2007



Templog is growing 1 GB per hour.

I've read some articles about this issue, that talk about how to shrink it.

In this case I need to find out what and why this is happening

How can I monitore it?

I know, sometimes, I exaggerate in using temporary files, in order to make reports faster.

Jan 14, 2008

Hi.

I know this question has been posted before but after reading some other post I'm still a bit confuse of what to do?

In my database, I have a 3Mb data file and the transaction log file has growed to 500Mb and keep growing... Can you please advise what I should do to reduce it size and/or stop it from continue growing?

Thanks for your help.
