Manual recovery problems occur during the recovery of a failed partition, truncated primary database log, primary database failure, or Replication Server System Database (RSSD).
While Replication Server is designed to tolerate most failures and to recover from them automatically, some failures require you to intervene by manually executing recovery tasks. Sometimes after you have completed a recovery task, you run into replication problems or errors show up in the Replication Server error log. Although the Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 1 and Replication Server Administration Guide Volume 2 discuss most recovery situations and you can refer to those manuals to see if you missed a step in a recovery task, the Replication Server Troubleshooting Guide dicusses the most common problems that you might run into after you think that you have successfully completed a recovery task.
