Scheduling task using Bash script

sardarabdullahkhawar — Mon, 15 Jan 2024 10:26:00 GMT

Hi all,

Good Day, hope you guys are doing well. Can we schedule SQL task using bash script not through GUI in Qlik Replicate. If yes, then how?

The syntax we use is:

D:\attunity\replicate\bin\repctl.exe -d E:\data connect; execute <taskname> 1 Flags=1; disconnect

Your drive letters will obviously vary. You can use repctle.exe ? to get valid parameters.

Hello @sardarabdullahkhawar ,

Here is an article explaining the commands to start and stop via Replicate repctl commands.

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Replicate/Stop-and-Resume-tasks-via-command-line/td-p/1923703

For windows, you will need to run as administrator from command prompt or powershell:

C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin>
C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin>repctl
Enter a command or quit

For linux, you need to source site_arep_login.sh or export LD_LIBRARY_PATH like below:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/attunity/replicate/lib:/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
cd /opt/attunity/replicate/bin/
./repctl
Enter a command or quit

NOTE: The command for stop/starting is not officially supported by replicate. The commands work, but there is no guarantee that they will not change in the future.

Regards,

Sachin B
