Safe next steps

  1. For 6724 (ERROR_TRANSACTION_RECORD_TOO_LONG), record the transaction, resource manager and application operation that failed or remained pending.
  2. Review the service or application transaction logs and ask the responsible administrator or vendor to verify the intended state.
  3. Do not assume a hardware drive failure or delete transaction logs based on the code alone.

After one step, repeat the original operation and record whether this same code returns. A different code needs a fresh interpretation.
