Firebird 5 database synchronous replication problem

[Alejandro Jourdan]

I have a Firebird 5 database setup with synchronous replication to a cloud machine. The other day, the cloud machine went offline and some records didn't replicate.

When the machine came back online, the missing records never updated. I checked replication.log and saw an error recorded there.

Is this normal? If the replica machine goes offline for a moment, does replication just stop working? I think I must have done something wrong, because it doesn't make sense to lose information for this reason.

That's why `disable_on_error` parameter exists.
