    If you are using transactional replication this means that your distribution agent is not delivering the transactions for some reason. It could be many things, for example:

    -Agent is not running or disabled

    -All transactions were performed in one single large modification and therefore is taking a long time to commit on the replica.

    -There is contention on the Distribution database due to other agents activity and your agent is timing out.

    ... and I could go on and on ...

    So at least you should start with the above to verify such thing.

  • Thank you! I will start there.

  • Also, if you have more than one subscriber, the commands don't go down until ALL subscribers have gotten them.

  • Nope, just one subscriber.
