Change tracking disabled but auto cleanup running anyway

  • I recently noticed in the logs of one of my 2016 servers that the Change Tracking manual cleanup procedure is running for all databases. I have checked the databases and change tracking is off for all of the databases.

    sys.change_tracking_databases and sys.change_tracking_tables are both empty

    I tried to just disable the auto cleanup but get a message that change tracking is not enabled.

    Anyone else have this odd behavior before?

    If only I could snap my figures and have all the correct indexes apear and the buffer clean and.... Start day dream here.

  • Thanks for posting your issue and hopefully someone will answer soon.

    This is an automated bump to increase visibility of your question.

  • I had to dust off my login to reply. We are running many SQL Server 2016 enterprise boxes. Just 2 days ago as well on a brand new virgin install of 2016 cu2 sp17 I've been seeing every 30 min it's attempting the cleanup. We use a Powershell script to install sql + updates and I just completed a solid 30+ installs over the last couple months, but one single box is showing this exact behavior.

    I confirmed CT is not enabled anywhere (brand new install).

    I think this is a bug. I'd be curious as to you build versions etc. All ours are at 13.0.5888.11

    Will update if I find anything else!
