Managing Replicate instances

This section explains how to control (start/stop/restart) Replicate instances, check the running status of a Replicate instance, and change the location of a Qlik Replicate instance's data directory. Changing the data directory of an instance of Replicate might need to be performed if the drive on which the current directory resides has insufficient space or if you are moving from a temporary POC setup to production, for example.

Start/stop/restart a Replicate instance

To start, stop, or restart a Replicate instance, run the following command:

instancename start|stop|restart

Running the script will start/stop/restart Replicate running as instancename

Report running status of a Replicate instance

To find out the running status of a Replicate instance, run the following command:

instancename status

This will report whether instancename is running or not.

Change the data directory of a Replicate instance

To change the data directory of a Replicate instance, do the following:

1. Uninstall the instance.
2. Move the data directory to a new location.
3. Install an instance of replicate, specifying the data directory in the new location.
