Discuss Qlik QREP Exam Topic 1 Question 41

How should missing metadata be added in a Qlik Replicate task after the task has been stopped?

ADrop tables or delete tables and data on target side, then run task from a certain timestamp

BUnder Advanced Run option choose reload target, stop task again, and then resume processing

CUnder Advanced Run option choose metadata only, stop task again, and then resume processing

DDrop tables and data on the target side, run advanced option, create metadata, and then resume task

Suggested Answer: C

If a task has missing metadata, you need to first stop the task.

Navigate to the 'Advanced Run' options.

Select the option 'Metadata Only.'

Start the task with this setting to process the missing metadata.

Stop the task again after the metadata is added.

Resume normal task processing. This procedure ensures that only the metadata is processed without affecting the existing data on the target side. This method is recommended in Qlik Replicate documentation for handling missing metadata issues.

To add missing metadata in a Qlik Replicate task after the task has been stopped, the correct approach is to use the Advanced Run option for metadata only. Here's the process:

Select the task that requires metadata to be added.

Go to the Advanced Run options for the task.

Choose the Metadata Only option, which has two sub-options:

Recreate all tables and then stop: This will rebuild metadata for all available tables in the task.

Create missing tables and then stop: This will rebuild metadata only for the missing tables or the tables that were newly added to the task1.

By selecting the Metadata Only option and choosing to create missing tables, you can ensure that the metadata for the newly added tables is updated without affecting the existing tables and data. After this operation, you can stop the task again and then resume processing.

The other options provided are not the recommended methods for adding missing metadata:

A and D suggest dropping tables or data, which is not necessary for simply adding metadata.

B suggests reloading the target, which is not the same as updating metadata only.

Therefore, the verified answer is C, as it accurately describes the process of adding missing metadata to a Qlik Replicate task using the Advanced Run options1.

I think option C is the best. It focuses on just the metadata.

B seems like a safe choice to reload without losing data.

A is risky, dropping tables could lead to data loss.

Wait, you can just add metadata after stopping? That's surprising!

I disagree, D sounds more thorough to me.

I think option C is the way to go for just metadata.

Rolland 3 months ago

I thought option A was about timestamps, but I don't see how that relates to adding metadata. Maybe it's more about the Advanced Run options?

Flo 3 months ago

I vaguely recall that stopping the task and then resuming is important, but I can't remember which option actually adds the missing metadata.

Lilli 3 months ago

I feel like we practiced a question similar to this, and I might have chosen option D, but now I'm second-guessing if dropping tables is really necessary.

Carlee 3 months ago

I think I remember something about using the Advanced Run option, but I'm not sure if it's option B or C that deals with metadata specifically.
