Distribution Clean-Up takes 15 hours or MORE !

  • I have 7 transaction replication jobs (run every 15 minutes), 1 snapshot replication job (runs once daily), and 5 other transaction replication jobs (run once every 2 weeks).

     

    The Distribution Clean-Up job is scheduled to run every morning at 5 am, and takes anywhere from  11-55 hours !!   What's the deal with this ????

     

    Details:  Transaction retention  48 - 270 hours  (so I don't risk losing transactions for my every 2 week job)

     

    SQL 2000 sp3, windows 2000 sp4

  • How big is your distribution database and how much of that space in it using before and after the cleanup? It maybe just a case that it has to cleanup a lot of data an ensure that it has been delivered.
