Transactional Replication Synchronization taking too long to respond

Question

I successfully generated the snapshot, but subscription is not working correctly. Either the synchronization takes too long to respond or it simply displays the text shown in below attached screenshot.

Here is the successful snapshot generation:

It is only retrying and not giving the end result.

Answer 1

Check the following things please:

• Snapshot Agent shows as completed successfully and it has generated its files
• Log reader agent is running and delivering

Right click on each service -> view details - that will help you get more info.

To add to the comments, check the subscription details: Go to each tab and see if there's any error. If all is good, they should all show green, running, with an action list of delivering transactions.
