Replicate Server settings

Before you can create a Compose project, you need to define at least one Replicate task that replicates the relevant source tables from the source database to the Landing Zone.

If you want to monitor the Replicate tasks, you need to provide the information that Compose needs in order to establish a connection to the Replicate Server on which the tasks are running. After providing this information, you will then be able to associate a source Landing Zone with a specific Replicate task.

To configure the Replicate Server connection settings:

1. Open the Manage Replicate Servers window using any of the following methods:

   • From the Management drop-down menu in the main toolbar, select Manage Replicate Servers.

   • In the New Data Source window, click the Replicate Server Settings link below the Associate with Replicate task field.

   The Manage Replicate Servers window opens.

2. Click Add Replicate Server.

   The Add Server window opens.

3. Enter the following information:

   • Name: A display name for the server.
   • Description: (Optional) A description for the server.

   • Host: The IP address or host name of the Qlik Replicate machine.

     Information note

     When Replicate Server is installed on Linux, enter the IP address of the Windows machine on which the Replicate UI Server is running.

   • Port: Optionally, change the default port (443). You should only change the default port if you are certain that a different SSL port is being used.

   • User Name and Password: Your credentials for logging in to the Qlik Replicate machine.

     Information note

     When Replicate Server is installed on Linux, enter the user name and password for the Windows machine on which the Replicate UI Server is running.

   • Get metadata timeout - The time to wait when discovering a task’s source database or refreshing the metadata cache before returning a timeout error.

   • Get task timeout - The time to wait when starting a Replicate task before returning a timeout error.

     Information note

     In environments with complex networks, operations related to Replicate may exceed the default timeout limit. If you experience frequent timeouts starting tasks, discovering a task’s source database, or refreshing the metadata cache, increasing these values may help.

4. Click Test Connection and then click OK if the connection is successfully verified.

   The server is added to the Manage Replicate Servers window. Click Close to close the window.
