Qlik Replicate import export task between enviroments

[lguevara]

Hi,

Is there a strategy to export tasks in Qlik Replicate, for example, from the dev environment and then import them into the UAT environment, while keeping the task configuration the same but changing the endpoints to those of UAT?

Thanks

Hello @lguevara ,

Thanks for reaching out to Qlik Community!

The Qlik Replicate Export/Import Utility is used to back up a task definition or transfer a task between different Qlik Replicate servers. The task definition is stored in a .json file, excluding endpoint passwords for security reasons.

Endpoint details can be modified by editing the .json file using a script or a text editor. Once modified, the file can be imported into the Replicate server. In this process, the password must be provided using one of the following methods:

1. Enter the endpoint password in plain text within the .json file.
2. Leave the password field empty or encrypted format in the .json file and enter the password manually in the Qlik Replicate GUI after import.

In both cases, once the task is imported, Qlik Replicate encrypts and stores the password in its repository.

Hope this helps.

John.
