Data group activity entries that did not successfully complete replication have a status of *FAILED. These failed data group activity entries are also called error entries. You can request to retry processing for these activity entries.
Activity entries with a status of *ACTIVE can also be retried in some circumstances. For example, you may want to retry an entry that is delayed but which has no preceding pending activity entry. Or, you may want to retry a pending entry that is undergoing processing in a delay retry cycle.
The retry request places the activity entry in the queue for processing by the system journal replication process where the failure or delay occurred. Activity entries with a status of *FAILED or *DELAYED are set to *PENDING until they are processed.
