The number of times Replication Agent attempts to restart replication after a failure.
The value of the ra_retry_count parameter is the number of times that the Log Transfer Manager component will try to get the Replication Agent instance back into Replicating state after a failure or error causes the instance to go to Replication Down state.
When a network connection fails, Replication Agent attempts to re-establish the connection, using the values stored in its connection configuration parameters for that connection.
If Replication Agent is unable to re-establish a connection after the number of retries specified in the pds_retry_count or rs_retry_count parameter, then the Replication Agent instance goes to Replication Down state and the Log Transfer Manager component attempts to return the Replication Agent instance to Replicating state, based on the settings of the ra_retry_count and ra_retry_timeout parameters.
