  • Hi,

    It depends on - is the latency of your subscribers higher when this message shows up? For me, I couldn't find the root cause but a simple agent restart solves the problem cause my latency remained relatively low (that is, few minutes). You can write a script which automagically restarts the agent based on the history data in the distribution database.

  • Hi,

    Thanks a lot for the reply, if you dont mind can i have the sample of the script which will restart the agent.

    Thank you

    With Regards
