LogReader Showing as failed

  • Hi Guys,

    I've seen another post like my problem but I think it wasn't quite the same.

    We have recently dropped and reapplied replication to our production environment....no problems..phew!

    However, the Logreader is showing as failing/errors i.e. the dreaded red circle has appeared. But, the reader appears to be working correctly.

    Any thoughts?

    Cheers...Graeme

  • Hi again,

    As an addition to my initial message.

    I would like to say that the red error circle only appears on the logreader folder...not on any logreader agent.

    Very strange!

    Thanks....Graeme

  • Hello again,

    After a bit of digging...I have resolved the issue.

    For your information :

    In TempDB there is a table called MSReplication_Merge_Status, this contains the current status of the agents (surprisingly enough). There are 4 possible status conditions 1,2,3 and 4. 2 represents 'Success'. Against my Logreader, the status was set to 6 therefore invalid. Although the agent was running ok SQL was reporting it as not. Therefore I updated the status to 2, refreshed and...as if by magic..all back to normal.

    Hope this is of use.

    Regards...Graeme
