Qlik Replicate: Unable to connect to the remote server with Qlik Replicate hosted on a Virtual Machine

[Michael_Litz]

Qlik Replicate is actively refusing the connection and Qlik Replicate does not start. This may happen after a Windows Update applied changes to a local group policy and a server restart. 

After the reboot, the Qlik Replicate services fail to start and the following error can be found in task logs:

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:3552

Resolution

1. Verify if the port used is not being blocked by an updated group policy on the virtual machine. The port in this case is 3552.
2. Create an inbound firewall rule allowing the port on the Qlik VM. 
3. Start the Qlik Replicate services and run the tasks.
