    Hi,

    In sys.databases table the log_reuse_wait_desc shows ACTIVE_TRANSACTION in msdb database, could anyone help me why the log_reuse_wait_desc shows that?

    probably the trn log is full? or something else?

    appreciate the help!

    There is an active transaction going on in MSDB.

    Jobs updating sysjob..... tables, database mail updating sysmail.... tables etc, could be a whole range of things.

    Wait for the transaction to finish.

    None unless the transaction stays there for abnormally long time and the log is growing out of control.
