Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

After a Qlik Replicate administrator creates a new task, runs a Full Load test, and turns on Change Processing, the method to test this task would be to:

Stop the task: This ensures that no active processes are running that could interfere with the testing.

Run -> Advanced Run Options: This step allows the administrator to access more specific settings that can control how the task is executed.

Start Change Processing Only: This option will start the Change Data Capture (CDC) phase without re-running the Full Load. It's used to test the CDC mechanism specifically, ensuring that changes made at the source are captured and applied to the target correctly.

This method is supported by best practices in the Qlik community and documentation, which suggest using the Advanced Run Options to control the task's behavior for testing purposes1. It allows the administrator to verify that the Change Processing is set up correctly and is functioning as expected without the need to reload the target or recreate the task entirely. This approach is efficient and effective for testing the CDC functionality in isolation.

I think option D makes more sense, as it focuses on testing the Change Processing specifically.

I'm not sure, but I think option C) Stop the task -> Run -> Resume Processing could also work.

Haha, option B 'Re-create the task' is a classic. Why start over when you can just resume processing? D is the winner here.

I agree, D is the correct answer. Stopping the task, running it, and then just starting the Change Processing is the most logical way to test the changes.

Option D seems like the way to go. It specifically mentions 'Start Change Processing Only', which sounds like the best approach to test the task after enabling Change Processing.
