MSrepl_commands

HI ! I have VPN connected servers and i responsible for replicating data
between them.(Transactional replication)
Look like my destribution cleanup process is not working correctly.
MSrepl_commands table grows and from time to time i have remove replication and recreate
it again just to delete those milions commands in that table. My log reder profile is:
HistoryVerboseLevel- 1
loginTimeout – 30
polingInterval – 10
Querytimeout -500
ReadBatchSize -500 Is anything else i should consider to change to improve performance Thank you
Any information from SQL Error log? _________

Configuration option ‘show advanced options’ changed from 1 to 1. Run the RECONFIGURE statement to install.. Error: 15457, Severity: 0, State: 1
Maybe it somehow related to my drop and recreate replication. Because i keep droping replication in order to resolve my problem Can i manually delete commands from this table?
Data is being replication fine
Error 15457 are informational messages and not really error messages, if you change server properties then you will see this message. When using SP_CONFIGURE statement the message will be issued to run RECONFIGURE, refer to BOL for more information. Try to refresh the LOG READER Agent to affect the changes. _________

I sure stoped and run log reader agent after changing it’s properties
I also tried to play with retention period .
Initially it was set to 0.
So all distributed transactions was suppose to be deleted imediately
when distributon clean up agent run.
I change it to 1 with hope for some refreshment or what
it didn’t help .
I am so frusterated cannor find any information
I got it :
Max retention period ! i set it to 10 hours and ta-da
msrepl_commands is being cleaned by distribution clean up job
I thing the explanation on msdn not very clear about this agent
True can only be avail with experience and books. _________
