Large version store + DBCC Opentran shows nothing/ activity monitor show open trans...

  • OK- so I noticed a big tempdb almost all of space is used by version store (from dmv information).

    I ran dbcc opentran but found no old transactions.

    I took a look at activity monitor and DID find some open tranactions which are "sleeping" and last batch

    was about a week ago (open tranactions =1).

    Why does DBCC Opentran not show these transactions- because they are "open" but not "active"?

    These open trans are the likely reason for large version store size, correct?

    See attached screenshot for example..

  • DBCC OPENTRAN displays only transactions that are logged

  • I would expect these to be logged transactions. The server is in full recovery mode and the connections are being made from a standard application.
