Limitations and considerations

Using MongoDB as a source database in a Qlik Replicate task is subject to the following limitations:

  • When storing changes in Change Tables, the before image will not be stored.
  • When processing an UPDATE operation on the source, the most up-to-date copy of the document will be replicated to the target, For example, if three UPDATE operations were performed on a document, only the document with the last UPDATE will be replicated to target.
  • Unlimited LOB size is not supported.
  • Capture of new empty databases and new empty collections is not supported. A new collection must contain at least one document before it can be captured.
  • Table content filters are not supported.
  • Database names must be English only.
  • Dropping or renaming source collections:

    • During CDC: If a source collection is renamed/dropped during CDC, it will be suspended (i.e. excluded from the replication).
    • During Full Load: If a source collection is renamed/dropped during Full Load, the task will stop.
  • Dropping or renaming source databases is not supported.
  • Replication of transactional audit data is not supported.
  • Replication of a document in a collection that contains a reference to other documents using DBRefs is not supported.
