Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The total number of files that are in the Replication Manager's replmgr.box\incoming inbox on the site server has exceeded the standard operational threshold.

This folder stores replication files from the Configuration Manager despooler after processing files received from other Configuration Manager sites. The Replication Manager determines whether the file is transaction-oriented and then verifies that the serial numbers are correct. If the file is not transaction-oriented, no additional verification is performed. The Replication Manager then transfers the file to the recipient component for final processing.

This condition increases unless it is resolved. If the file count continues beyond the threshold, replicated information is not reflected in the Configuration Manager site database in a timely manner, and Configuration Manager objects and reports might not accurately represent the state of the parent or child sites.

Causes

The total number of files can exceed the threshold because:
