Re: truncate log file for replication database

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

This will work, but you should not run into this problem. The log reader
should be able to keep up with the load unless you are doing large batch
updates/inserts or deletes.

You should be able to backup the log for it to reuse itself.

Dear There,
We just start the transaction replication for the database few month back.
Due to the heavy transaction on the database, we schedule daily log file
trancation before the daily full db backup happen, however, we found the
log
file could not be truncated in the normaly way we did, it give the below
error:

The log was not truncated because records at the beginning of the log are
pending replication. Ensure the Log Reader Agent is running or use
sp_repldone to mark transactions as distributed.

Finally I managed truncate the log file when the DB is on line and
without
stopping the replication, now I modify my scrip of truncation by add one
more
step bf the step:

EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL,
@numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1

However, I am not sure this will 100% solve the problem, so just wondering
there must some standard way to truncate the log file for a live
replication
database.

Many Thanks for any suggustion!

Shermaine
