Log Reader Job is going to idle state.

Hi,

we have facing one issue related to Log Reader Job in the customer site.

We have step up the database replication between the two server. And the three jobs (distributor,  snapshot and log reader) setup and started successfully. Then from the code where we are using sql dmo api to monitor these three jobs (distributor,  snapshot and log reader) so running for the period of 5 to 6 months, log reader job is going to idle state. So SQL DMO API will return us the status as "IDLE", so in our code, we are checking if the status is IDLE break the Sycn. So want to know why the log reader job is going to IDLE state after period of 5 to 6 months.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
