Hi Team,
I have a question: when replicating a map on the data in the Transformation tab, does it never change the source length?
for example nvarchar(30) to wstring(30)
Thanks,
Praveen
Hi @PraveenP
Columns should always be a compatible size but your example shows a different (but compatible) data type. This can happen based on the source data type, the internal Replicate data type, and the target data type. Please check the documentation on the data types for the source endpoint you are using, it will show you what the internal data type is. Next, check the documentation for the target data type, it will show you how the internal data type is mapped to the target data type that will be used.

Dear @PraveenP ,
In Qlik Replicate, when you’re transforming data in the Transformation tab, it generally does not change the source length.
However, there are some considerations to keep in mind:
If the transformation involves changing the data type, make sure that the new data type is compatible with the data in that column.
In homogeneous replication tasks (such as Oracle to Oracle), modifying a single table column (by changing the column data type or length for example), will break the homogeneity for the entire table.
