Qlik Replicate Replication Scheduler

[taschwen]

Does the Qlik replicate scheduler have a file or something that can be access and edited manually? I need to create a schedule - one to stop and one to start selected tasks on the first and fourth Saturday and of each month for maintenance.

Qlik Replicate does not expose its scheduler definitions as a file you can open and edit. You create and manage schedules through the Replicate Console UI.

Please refer below link to schedule tasks.

Hello @taschwen ,

Happy New Year!

You can achieve this using Qlik Replicate export/import commands. Below is a suggested approach on Windows. It's similar while Replicate runs on Linux:

    1. Use the GUI to define a few schedulers first. This helps generate sample definitions that you can use as a reference in the Replicate JSON files.

    2. Run As Administrator with "Qlik Replicate Command Line"

    3. Export the definitions from the Qlik Replicate binary repository (which cannot be accessed or modified directly) into JSON format, for example:        

repctl exportrepository task=Ora-to-SQL include_server_settings=true

       where "Ora-to-SQL" is the task name. The output JSON file default location is "C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\data\imports".

    4. Edit the scheduler definitions in the exported JSON file as needed.
        The cron format and examples can be found here:
https://help.qlik.com/en-US/compose/December2024/Content/ComposeDWDL/Main/DW/Cron%20Format%20and%20E...

    5. Before running the import command, it’s recommended to remove any task-related/endpoints-related sections from the JSON file. Otherwise, when importing endpoints, you’ll be required to re-enter passwords or other credentials.

    6. Import the modified JSON file back into the Qlik Replicate repository.

repctl importrepository json_file=Ora-to-SQL

    7. (Optional) Restart the Qlik Replicate service.

I Hope this helps.

John.
