[rgmartinezdezayas]

Hello,

Where can I find the full documentation on the repctl commands?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

There are only a few functions with repctl that are documented and supported.  Please see the user guide that corresponds to your version for that very limited list. 

For Replicate May 2022 release:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/May2022/Content/Replicate/Main/Guides.htm

For additional command line needs please see the: "Qlik Enterprise Manager API guide".  There we list many functions that can be invoked through the command line.

For QEM May 2022 release:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/enterprise-manager/May2022/Content/EnterpriseManager/EnterpriseManager_A...

Hope this helps!

Thanks

Lyka

While not supported and minimally documented, the REPCTL commandline interface to Replicate has been rather stable over the past decade or so.

As per @lyka check the Userguide for basic documentation. Next you can get a list of potentially available commands using:

>> repctl -d "replicate_data_folder" help option=1

I used the word potentially because this list of commands is generated from an internal command /api list some actions require parameter passing methods not available through a command line specially when a structure is required as input. Still, most of the commands just work. For further help on a command follow the command with a question mark. For example for help on 'gettaskstatus' use:

>> repctl -d "replicate_data_folder" gettaskstatus ?

hth,
hein.

Hello @Heinvandenheuvel 

Use this command to get the general instructions on how to use repctl:

C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin>repctl help

To get the list of commands:

C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin>repctl  help ?

command help:

    request arguments:

    option:optional enum, valid values:

            01 - HELP_COMMAND_LIST

            02 - HELP_OBJECT_LIST

            03 - HELP_ALL

    command:optional string

    error:optional int32

[help command] Succeeded

I would suggest using option #3 and redirecting to a file to get the complete list,

Like this:

C:\Program Files\Attunity\Replicate\bin>repctl help option=03 > C:\Temp\export.txt

Here is an example to get the tablesstatus from the repctl command:

Repctl gettablesstatus task="New Task for XXX" mask=127 last_update_time=1657655393(value in epoch time)

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
