In the event that a communication failure occurs between two environments in a replication group, the replication framework will wait a set amount of time before attempting to re-establish the connection. You can configure this wait value using To do so, specify the DB_REP_CONNECTION_RETRY flag to the which parameter and then a retry value in microseconds to the timeout parameter. Environment.setReplicationTimeout(). You pass this method the ReplicationTimeoutType.CONNECTION_RETRY constant and a retry value in microseconds.
