Unable to start task using PostGres as target endpoint

[desmondchew]

Hitting errors while trying to start a new task using Postgres SQL RDS as target endpoint. The source endpoint is RDS SQL Server.

Failed to send 'START_REGULAR' command for transaction '00', start time '2024-06-06 08:22:13.410', commit lsn '000001EB00005CA70001'

I have granted "can login" and "create database" privileges to user in Qlik Replicate connection setup.

Hi, 

The table attrep_apply_exception is a table created by Replicate in the target database and includes details about data errors received in the task (when they occurs) . 

As we see from the message the error that you get is due to lack of permission to the user used by Replicate to access the target database. We recommend to doublecheck the permission granted to the user. In case problem persists, please open a case in SaleForce and attach to the case the task diagnostic package so we can review the details of the setting and help solving the problem. 

Regards,

Orit

Hello @desmondchew ,

I greatly agree with @OritA , PostgreSQL will error out and tell you that you don't have permissions to create something inside the PUBLIC schema without explicitly specifying who is allowed to do that beforehand. You need to grant the privileges to Qlik Replicate endpoint user with:

GRANT ALL ON SCHEMA public TO <QR-CDCUser>;

Hope this helps.

John.

I have resolved this after granted the permission on public schema for Qlik user to write.
