Replicate users may find some of the Qlik Catalog terminology a little confusing at first; for instance, the Replicate target endpoint is referred to as the Source Connection in Qlik Catalog. To lessen the potential for confusion, some of the cataloging terms used in Enterprise Manager differ from those used in Qlik Catalog.
