QREP Sample Questions

  1. Question 1

    A financial services company is using Qlik Replicate to stream transactional data from an on-premises Oracle database to a Kafka topic. During a period of high market volatility, the replication task latency increases significantly, and the task eventually fails with 'out of memory' errors. The Replicate server has 64GB of RAM. Which configuration change is most likely to provide a stable, long-term solution for handling these data bursts?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Enabling 'Store changes on disk' allows Replicate to offload in-flight transactions from memory to disk when memory pressure is high. This is the most effective mechanism for handling large transactional bursts that exceed available RAM, preventing 'out of memory' errors and providing a stable solution for volatile workloads without requiring a server hardware upgrade.

  2. Question 2

    An administrator is setting up a new Qlik Replicate environment and needs to define user roles based on the principle of least privilege. The requirements are to create a role for junior operators who can only monitor tasks and another role for developers who can design and run tasks but not manage server settings or users. Which set of permissions correctly maps to these requirements?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    The 'Monitor' role is specifically designed for viewing and monitoring tasks, which fits the junior operator requirement. The 'Designer' role allows creating and editing tasks, and the 'Operator' role allows running and stopping them. Combining 'Designer' and 'Operator' gives developers the necessary permissions to manage the entire lifecycle of their tasks without granting them administrative access to server settings or user management.

  3. Question 3

    A replication task from SQL Server to Snowflake has failed. The task log shows a primary key violation error for a specific table. The administrator queries the attrep_apply_exceptions table and finds an entry corresponding to the failure. The OPERATION column for the failed record shows 'U' (Update). What is the most probable cause of this issue?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: D

    A common cause for this scenario is when a DELETE operation is followed quickly by an INSERT with the same primary key on the source. If replication latency or batching causes the subsequent INSERT to be processed by Replicate before the DELETE, it will be translated as an UPDATE on the target. If the original record hasn't been loaded or was already deleted by another process, this UPDATE will fail because the target row doesn't exist, leading to an error that often manifests as a PK violation when Replicate tries to insert the missing record.

  4. Question 4

    An architect is designing a data replication solution for a retail company. The primary requirement is to replicate sales data from 20 regional PostgreSQL databases to a central Amazon S3 data lake. The data must be transformed to a standardized Parquet format, and personally identifiable information (PII) like customer names and addresses must be masked using a SHA-256 hash function before being written to the target. What is the most efficient way to implement this PII masking requirement for all 20 tasks?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    Global Transformations are designed for applying a consistent rule across multiple tables and tasks. This approach is the most efficient and maintainable because the PII masking logic is defined once and automatically applied to any column matching the specified criteria in any of the 20 tasks, ensuring consistency and reducing manual configuration effort.

  5. Question 5

    A Qlik Replicate task is configured with 'Store Changes' to create change tables in a staging database. A separate 'Apply Changes' task then reads from these change tables to update a data warehouse. This two-task architecture has been chosen to decouple data capture from data application. If the 'Apply Changes' task fails repeatedly due to a data type mismatch, what is the correct operational procedure to resolve the issue without losing the captured changes?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The key benefit of the 'Store Changes'/'Apply Changes' architecture is decoupling. The 'Store Changes' task can continue capturing data independently. The correct procedure is to stop only the failing 'Apply Changes' task, modify its transformation or target table definition to fix the data type issue, and then resume it. Replicate will process the changes from where it left off in the change tables, ensuring no data loss.

  6. Question 6

    Multiple answers

    A deployment requires replicating data between two data centers with an unreliable, high-latency WAN link. The architect wants to minimize the impact of network disruptions on the source database. Which TWO Qlik Replicate features are most critical to configure in this scenario? (Select TWO)

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answers: A, C

  7. Question 7

    True or False: When using Qlik Enterprise Manager to manage multiple Qlik Replicate servers, all servers must be running the exact same version and patch level of Qlik Replicate.

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Qlik Enterprise Manager is designed to be backward compatible and can manage Qlik Replicate servers running different versions. However, for full feature compatibility and to avoid potential issues, it is a best practice to keep the Enterprise Manager version at the same level as or newer than the Replicate servers it manages.

  8. Question 8

    A government agency is using Qlik Enterprise Manager (QEM) to provide a central dashboard for monitoring replication tasks across different departments. A new requirement mandates that all actions performed through the QEM console, such as starting a task or modifying an endpoint, must be logged for auditing purposes. Where should an administrator configure this?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    Qlik Enterprise Manager has a dedicated Audit Log feature that can be enabled and configured within its own Server Settings. This feature specifically captures user actions performed through the QEM interface, satisfying the audit requirement. The logs are stored in the QEM analytics database.

  9. Question 9

    A task replicating a large table with LOB columns from Oracle to SQL Server is performing poorly during the Full Load phase. A review of the task logs shows significant time spent on LOB lookups. The source Oracle database is configured for log-based CDC. What is the most effective way to improve the Full Load performance for this table?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: C

    By default, Replicate fetches LOB data via lookups to the source table, which can be slow. When using Oracle log-based CDC, the 'Expose LOBs in Redo' option can be enabled (with corresponding DBA configuration on the Oracle side). This allows Replicate to read LOB data directly from the redo logs instead of the source table, significantly improving performance for both Full Load and CDC.

  10. Question 10

    A consultant is tasked with collecting detailed diagnostic information for a failing Qlik Replicate task to send to Qlik Support. The task fails intermittently, and the standard task logs do not contain enough detail to identify the root cause. What is the recommended procedure to capture the most comprehensive diagnostic data?

    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    The 'Download Diagnostic Package' feature is the standard and most comprehensive way to collect information for Qlik Support. It bundles the task and server logs, task settings, endpoint configurations, server information, and other relevant metadata into a single compressed file. This provides a complete snapshot of the environment for effective troubleshooting.
