Qlik Replicate scheduled jobs won't start after Qlik Replicate upgrade

[Pedro_Lopez]

After upgrading Qlik Replicate may cause scheduled jobs to fail due to changes in the Scheduler functionality.

Example error: 

[UTILITIES ]E: Command request 'RESUMETASK_REQ' (55) cannot be found. [1020111] (scheduler.c:270)

In this specific example, the scheduled job didn't run because it had selected the option to "RESUME TASK",  which has been removed in more recent versions of Replicate.

Environment

• Qlik Replicate 
  Example: Upgrade from 7.0 to 2021.1

Resolution

A quick solution is to export/import the repository, below are the steps:

1. Under Replicate server -> Logging -> Log File Management -> Uncheck any Log roll over you might have
2. Replicate Server -> Scheduler -> Take a screenshot here as you'll need to recreate the jobs
3. Disable all the scheduled jobs
4. Export repository by going on cmd to Replicate bin/ folder and running:
   

   repctl exportrepository

5. It's going to create a JSON file called Replication_Definition.json under Replicate/data/imports , please backup this file by renaming it
6. Edit it with notepad++ and empty the scheduler section, it should be like this:
   

   "scheduler": {
   
   },

7. Save it and make sure it's called Replication_Definition.json
8. Import repository by running under Replicate /bin folder:
   

   repctl importrepository json_file=Replication_Definition.json

   
   If you have a custom location of the data folder, make sure you specify it by adding the flag -d before the json_file.
9. Recreate the scheduled jobs
10. Test the schedule

I'm sure this solution would work, but it requires a lot of manual/error-prone work to recreate schedule jobs.  How do we automate/script it ?

Hi @AnneVo ,

This is the simple and suggested way to fix the schedule issue which happened during the upgrade.

You have to follow the suggested manual process and there is no way to automate this.

Thanks,
