Replication-Replication Transaction-Log Reader Subsystem error

  • Hello,
    I have dropped all subscriptions and publications and have ran sp_removedbreplication on publication and subscription servers to make sure there are no lingering subscriptions or publications.  I am getting the below error from the subscriber db server?  I can't figure out where this is coming from and how to solve this. 

    Also, this started happening after I restored a current copy of production db on the subscriber db server.  If that helps.

    Any ideas?  Appreciate it.

    Replication-Replication Transaction-Log Reader Subsystem: agent MSSQLREPCL-uosdb_replication-3 failed. The process could not execute 'sp_repldone/sp_replcounters' on 'MSSQLREPCL'.

    That looks like that log reader agent is still running - did you check for any SQL Server Agent replication jobs?

  • Sue,

    Thanks for the tip may have solved the problem.  The problem looks like that SQL Log reader agent job was the culprit.  But, I disabled it before and it was still creating the errors.  So, I deleted it and now the errors are gone (I scripted it out and saved off the job before deleting it).  I have the Log reader on subscriber db server as well because I daisy chain my replication.  So, I have a Prod > Subscriber then Subscriber has a publication as well > another subscriber.  It was the 1st subscriber that had the Log reader that was causing the errors.

    Thanks,
