We have a customer on IFS Cloud 24R2 and have a custom IAL defined with Manual Update and Copy All Data replication type in PROD.  


The last replication job did not complete successfully, it ran for around 6 hours and it appears the Oracle session was terminated, and the job was subsequently set to Error status by the light cleanup process with the following message:

This background job was set to state Error because the executing Oracle process was killed (detected by cleanup process at 2026-02-21-01.18.27 due to no session being found).


After four days, customer has re-attempted to retry the manual replication. However, it still fails with the below error:

Replication is in progress. New replication will not be initiated. ORA-20105: IalObject.REPLICATIONINPRO


Is there a safe way to handle this situation from either the database or application side?
In App10, we could use the IAL configuration screen to RMB > Reset Failed Executions, but this option doesn’t seem to exist in IFS Cloud.
