-> Below query can be used to find undistributed command count in transactional replication.

CLOSE CheckUndistributedcmdinbadway_cursor
DEALLOCATE CheckUndistributedcmdinbadway_cursor

-> Before running this query, select “Results to Text (CTRL + T)” from SQL Server management studio and execute it.

-> The query is not the best way to get the undistributed command count in transactional replication. But helped me solve my purpose. Can be useful for someone else.

-> The query will be blocked if distribution cleanup is running.

Thank You,
