Am using solace rar adapter with weblogic to connect with solace event broker. So as per my requirement, my application should retry solace connection if it lost connection for any reason. So test the same, have disable/down my message-vpn through pubsub+ even broker console and retstarted my application pod. once my pod is up, was getting this error - " **Error Response (503) - Message VPN Unavailable**" which is expected, But post that, even if i have enable/up my message-vpn, am getting same error. ideally it should get connection now because message-vpn is up.

Hi @Richa ,

Happy New Year! Were you able to figure it out?

If not can you check your extended properties supported values that are related to Retries?

See section 4 here:
