FACT(s) (Environment):
Database Target and replication Server can be restarted without errors.
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge Replication 10.x
CAUSE:
A break in the TCP/IP connection between the OpenEdge Replication server and its agents has occurred.
FIX:
No immediate action is required as long as target database and replication Server can be restarted without errors.
If recurrences happen consider using something like Wireshark to find what is causing the network issue.
Please note that development has also indicated that the error 5565 in the target log does not normally occur, but the handling of the communication error is being performed correctly. As long as replication was successfully restarted, there is nothing in particular to worry about yet because some type of a network "blip" could have caused the problem. If the same problem occurs again please contact Progress technical Support providing both the source and target logs.
