SQL Agent Replciation Job limit

  • Hello

    I have a problem with creating a new subscription.We have replication jobs for many database running from a distributor. When I added a new subscription, the snapshot job failed. Further troubleshooting we found that if we stop a different replication job, the snapshot runs fine. We have about 180 jobs running concurrently. Is there a limit we hit on replication jobs? can we change some setting to increase this limit?

    we checked msdb..sysubsystems and the max_worker_threads is 1200 for replication jobs and almost all subsystems other than powershell its more than 1000.

    please advise.

    Thanks

  • I'm not entirely sure this will help but found this article [https://ask.sqlservercentral.com/questions/24486/replication-limit-on-number-of-push-subsciptions.html] - I don't think there's an exact limit as much as there's a threshold with "load"

    -Hope it helps!

  • Thanks for the reply.

    We already have the work around set up and its running fine. I wanted to see if there were any fixes that I might be unaware of.

    I am going to reach out to MS to see if they have any solution for this.

    Thanks again
