The number of times to attempt to restart replication after a failure.
2
An integer greater than 0.
The value of the ra_retry_count parameter is the number of times that the Log Transfer Manager component will try to get the Mirror Replication Agent instance back into Replicating state after a failure causes the instance to go to Admin state.
When a network connection failure occurs, Mirror Replication Agent attempts to re-establish the lost connection. Mirror Replication Agent uses the pds_retry_count and pds_retry_timeout parameter settings, if the network connection to the primary database is lost. Mirror Replication Agent uses the rs_retry_count and rs_retry_timeout parameter settings, if the connection to the Replication Server is lost.
If Mirror Replication Agent is unable to re-establish a lost connection after the number of retries specified in either the pds_retry_count or rs_retry_count parameter, then the Mirror Replication Agent instance goes to Admin state and the Log Transfer Manager component attempts to return the Mirror Replication Agent instance to Replicating state, based on the settings of the ra_retry_count and ra_retry_timeout parameters.
