Connecting to targets

You can connect to targets to facilitate data delivery and various ELT operations, including data registration, data storage, transformations, and data mart creation. Target platforms can be supported as replication targets, data pipeline targets, and in some cases, both.

When you connect to targets you may need to add underlying Qlik Cloud IP addresses to your allowlist. For more information, see Allowlisting domain names and IP addresses.
