I can no longer open Replication Monitor for my Publisher. It just sits at "expanding..." no matter how long I leave it.
Something strange that I noticed when trying to figure this out is that my tempdb grows rapidly while this is happening and when I run a dbcc opentran on tempdb during this it shows my SPID as the one running against it. Why is is running against tempdb and not distribution?
I am at a loss as to what to look at or try next? I have restarted the SQL box and still the same. This worked previously and there as not been any maintenance on it recently.
Thank you,
