How to restart a Postgres Source task with API after a loss of replication slot

[feal]

Hello

if I may loose a replication slot from a Postgres Source DBMS of a replication task (for example a switchover for PostGres 15 or a failover for Postgres 16 and above)  ,  it is not possible to use RunTask | Qlik Enterprise Manager Help Parameters | Qlik Enterprise Manager Help with RESUME_PROCESSING on a script : if I do not want to restart with RELOAD_TARGET and i want to restart with current timestamp, i may extract current timestamp in some way inside the calling script  and pass it as a Header parameter to RunTask | Qlik Enterprise Manager.

Is there a way to do so only passing a single paramenter without any other additional script logic ? We want to avoid any manual intervention by GUI or a not easy to implement and mantain script.

Thanks and regards

Alessandro

Hi Alessandro, 

As indicated in the Replicate users guide under limitation section (see below), when working with postgres source endpoint it is not possible to start the task from a specific timestamp.

If you need any additional clarification and or help please open a Salesforce case and describe the exact scenarion with the details of what did not work for you.
