FIX: Assert in Errorlog During WITH STANDBY Recovery on a Replicated Database (278855)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft SQL Server 7.0

This article was previously published under Q278855

BUG #: 57693 (SQLBUG_70)

SYMPTOMS

The following assertion may be seen in the SQL Server Errorlog when log shipping is set up on a replicated database:

2000-02-29 14:25:19.26 kernel SQL Server Assertion: File: <xdesmgr.c>, line=2926
Failed Assertion = '!(OldestActiveLSN > xbeginLsn) && !OldestActiveLSN.IsInvalid()'.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when SQL Server is trying to write an abort log record for a replicated transaction, and is trying to gather information about other active transactions. However, an invalid LSN is used, which causes an assertion.
