AStop the task -> Run -> Reload Target

BRe-create the task.

CStop the task -> Run -> Resume Processing

DStop the task -> Run -> Advanced Run Options -> Start Change Processing Only

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.

Not sure about that, can you really just resume processing like that?

Wait, why would you stop the task just to resume? Sounds odd.

I vaguely recall that re-creating the task isn’t necessary for testing. I think stopping and running it again is more common, but I can't remember the exact steps.

I’m a bit confused about the advanced options. I feel like option D could be the right choice since it mentions starting change processing only.

I think I practiced a similar question where we had to choose between stopping and resuming. I feel like option C might be the right approach.

I remember something about stopping the task before making changes, but I'm not sure if I should just resume processing or do something else.

Okay, let me think this through. I know we can view the Apex status page, but I'm not sure about the Apex Flex Queue. I'll have to double-check that one.

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.
