In your example it looks like you have groups of 3 lines of text followed by 2 lines. You want to combine the three lines of text into a single line and remove the two separating lines completely.
If this is the case:
This will first read two additional lines (to the first read line) from the file and combine these into the pattern space. The first replacement then throws out the control characters (^M and ^Y, enter them via <CTRL-V> in vi), the second replacement removes the newline characters combining the lines to one line and prints it. Then two additional lines (the separator lines) are read and discarded, since they are not printed at all, then repeat from start.
I hope this helps.

What if the number of lines of the original file is unknown ?
In my example I gave 3 lines but it can be anything between 1 and 20 lines. The file contains any multi-line amount of records. Each records is totally independent from the previous one. One record could have 2 lines, the next 20, the next 5, ... No regular patterns for the amount of lines. The file contains a list of system generated alarms coming from 20 different servers, numerous amount of workstations, ...

I'm looking for a solution for this issue.
I want to find the Pattern 0/ and replace it with /. I'm just removing the leading zero. I can find the Pattern but it always puts literal value as a replacement.

git-replace
GIT-REPLACE(1) Git Manual GIT-REPLACE(1)NAME
git-replace - Create, list, delete refs to replace objects
SYNOPSIS
git replace [-f] <object> <replacement>
git replace -d <object>...
git replace -l [<pattern>]
DESCRIPTION
Adds a replace reference in .git/refs/replace/
The name of the replace reference is the SHA1 of the object that is replaced. The content of the replace reference is the SHA1 of the
replacement object.
Unless -f is given, the replace reference must not yet exist in .git/refs/replace/ directory.
Replacement references will be used by default by all git commands except those doing reachability traversal (prune, pack transfer and
fsck).
It is possible to disable use of replacement references for any command using the --no-replace-objects option just after git.
For example if commit foo has been replaced by commit bar:
$ git --no-replace-objects cat-file commit foo
shows information about commit foo, while:
$ git cat-file commit foo
shows information about commit bar.
The GIT_NO_REPLACE_OBJECTS environment variable can be set to achieve the same effect as the --no-replace-objects option.
OPTIONS -f
If an existing replace ref for the same object exists, it will be overwritten (instead of failing).
-d
Delete existing replace refs for the given objects.
-l <pattern>
List replace refs for objects that match the given pattern (or all if no pattern is given). Typing "git replace" without arguments,
also lists all replace refs.
BUGS
Comparing blobs or trees that have been replaced with those that replace them will not work properly. And using git reset --hard to go back
to a replaced commit will move the branch to the replacement commit instead of the replaced commit.
There may be other problems when using git rev-list related to pending objects. And of course things may break if an object of one type is
replaced by an object of another type (for example a blob replaced by a commit).
