BUG #: 235878 (SHILOH_BUGS)



SYMPTOMS
When using log shipping with a primary server and two secondary servers, the log shipping monitor may fail to update the remaining secondary node after a role change if the shipped database name is not the same on all servers.



CAUSE
The log shipping tool assumes that the database name is the same on both primary and secondary server(s). The shipping plan is for the database as named on the primary server.
