About the Qlik Replicate collector

The Qlik Replicate collector harvests metadata from Qlik Replicate via the Qlik Enterprise Manager API. Qlik Replicate is a data integration platform that provides real-time change data capture (CDC) and replication across heterogeneous data sources.

Important

The Qlik Replicate collector can be run on-premise using docker or Jar files.

Note

The latest version of the Collector is 2.320. To view the release notes for this version and all previous versions, please go here.

Table 1.

Object

Information cataloged

QlikReplicateServer

  • Server name, host, port, state, platform (Linux/Windows), version, last connection time

QlikReplicateEndpoint

  • Endpoint name, description, role (SOURCE/TARGET), database type, licensing status

QlikReplicateTask

  • Task name, state, UUID, assigned server, tags, stop reason, error messages

QlikReplicateTaskExecution

  • Execution start/end times, associated task

Database

  • Database name and connection information from source/target endpoints

DatabaseSchema

  • Schema names from task configurations

DatabaseTable

  • Table names included in replication tasks



Relationships between objects

By default, the harvested metadata includes catalog pages for the following resource types. Each catalog page has a relationship to the other related resource types. If the metadata presentation for this data source has been customized with the help of the data.world Solutions team, you may see other resource pages and relationships.
