Server requirements

The following section lists the requirements for connecting to a Replicate or Compose Server.

Qlik Replicate Server requirements

To be able to connect to a Replicate Server, Enterprise Manager requires the following for each Replicate Server to be monitored:

  • A Replicate administrator user. Enterprise Manager uses this user to connect to the Qlik Replicate instance. This means:

    • If the connection is made directly to the replication server, you can use the fixed user name admin. In this case, the default port is 3552. You set the admin user password on the Replicate server using the repctl setserverpassword command, as follows:

      On the Replicate server, run the following command from the bin directory; then restart the Replicate service:

      Repctl.exe setserverpassword <adminPassword>

      For more details, see the Replicate documentation.

    • If the connection is made to the Replicate UI server, you must specify a user with Admin role. This can be the user that installed Replicate, an Active Directory user with the Replicate Admin role, or a member of the AttunityReplicateAdmins Active Directory group.

      The default port is 443. For information on setting user roles within Qlik Replicate, refer to the Qlik Replicate Setup and User Guide.

    It is recommended that you configure this user with a strong password that does not need to be changed frequently. If the administrator password changes, you also need to change it in Enterprise Manager.

    Warning noteIf you need to change the password and the associated user is an Active Directory user, you must stop monitoring all servers with the same user before changing the password in Active Directory.
  • The port that Enterprise Manager uses for connecting to Qlik Replicate needs to be opened inbound on the Replicate server machine. Depending on your network architecture (for example a WAN environment), you may also need to open ports on routers and border firewalls. If you block outbound traffic from the Enterprise Manager machine, you need to make an exception on the Enterprise Manager machine for the ports used to connect to the Replicate Server.

For additional information, see Software requirements.

Qlik Compose Server requirements

To be able to connect to a Compose Server, Enterprise Manager requires the following for each Compose Server to be monitored:

  • A Compose administrator user. Enterprise Manager uses this user to connect to the Qlik Compose instance.

    It is recommended that you configure this user with a strong password that does not need to be changed frequently. If the administrator password changes, you also need to change it in Enterprise Manager

  • The port that Enterprise Manager uses for connecting to Qlik Compose needs to be opened inbound on the Compose server machine. Depending on your network architecture (for example a WAN environment), you may also need to open ports on routers and border firewalls. If you block outbound traffic from the Enterprise Manager machine, you need to make an exception on the Enterprise Manager machine for the ports used to connect to the Compose Server.
