The transaction log for database is full due to 'OLDEST_PAGE'

When I see the 'OLDEST_PAGE' in log_reuse_wait_desc column and not allowing to me to shrink the log file of database I followed the below steps

1) When you see 'OLDEST_PAGE' run CHECKPOINT on that particular database

2) Take the Transaction log backup of that particular database

3) Try to shrink the log file of database

These steps worked for me when I encountered this issue in my environment.
