Administering Log Shipping

  • Hello,

    I have successfully configure the log shipping on sql server 2005. But running the job (LSRestore_ ) on secondary server does not seem the the transaction logs (.trn) are restoring on my target database.

    Can anyone help.

    Thanks in advance for helping me.

  • have you checked the sql logs for any errors?

  • ...or in the job history or in the logshipping tables in msdb.

    is the target database now in standby/read only mode?

  • Thanks for your post.

    I am actively monitoring the logs if there are errors but all jobs are executed successfully.

    3 days has passed, the .trn grows to 23Gb but non of it was restored in my target database.

    Please help.

    Thanks so much

    What is the error message it is throwing in the job history?

    In which mode do you configured log shipping?? If its standby mode then have you selected "Disconnect users" option before restoring the log file?[/font]

    the tran log continues to grow? apologies for asking but is it being backed up? Maybe log backup cannot actually backup any data because there is an old open transaction, run dbcc opentran in source database, see oldest active spid and see when its been there since and what its doing.
