Description
If the Agent was removed, you may receive this error when adding the Agent back to replication:
“This agent has already been replicated to the remote slave core”

The agent was added at some point to replication but when the agent was removed, the agent registry settings remained.
This issue can also be caused by a replication link deleted manually from the registry.
