Prevent qlikreplicate task from being modified

[rteruya]

Good morning! 

I'm trying to find a way to prevent users from modifying or removing filters I put on my task.
I have a task that is sending data to target using CDC, and I have put some filters in place for some tables so only some data is going to the target.
Once it goes live, is there a way to lock the task so no users can change the filters or modify it without an alert or a password?

My other option would be to monitor the source to see which queries are running with the account  qlikreplicate uses. 

I'm open to suggestions or ideas 🙂
Thanks in advance

Hello @rteruya ,

Thanks for your post.

There are several ways to prevent tasks from being modified:

1. Use Qlik Replicate user permission controls
   Grant appropriate permissions to users:

•     Operator and Viewer roles do not have permission to edit tasks.

•     These roles also prevent task export/import. See: Import tasks.

2. Configure task stop/start notifications

•     Any task modification requires a task restart for the changes to take effect.
•     You can configure notifications on all or specific tasks to monitor task status changes.
•     If you want to ensure that no new tasks are created or modified without proper filters, consider monitoring all task startups.

3. Apply filtering at the source (if applicable)

•     If the filter applies only to the Full Load phase (and not CDC), I recommend creating a VIEW in the source database to filter the required records.
  Then configure Replicate to replicate data from the VIEW to the target. This approach is generally easier to manage and more robust than task-level filters.

Hope this helps!

John.
