    Hi,
    I'd need to distribute an excel report to sales agents applying the correct data reduction using the sales agent code as filter.
    Is it possible to create a unique filter for all sales agents in order to send the right data (filtered on sales agent code) to the right person?
    Please let me know.
    Many thanks in advance for your time.
    Best Regards

    Does Qlik Sense calculate hidden pivot tables inside a Container?

    Hi everyone,

    I'm using Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows and have a question about the performance impact of multiple visualizations inside a native Container.

    Let's assume I have two very resource-intensive pivot tables, each placed in a different tab of the same Container.

    Since only one tab is visible at a time, I'd like to understand how Qlik Sense handles the hidden pivot table.

    Specifically:

    • When the sheet is opened, does Qlik calculate both pivot tables, even though only one is visible?

    • When users make selections, are both pivot tables recalculated, including the hidden one?

    • Does the Container implement any kind of lazy loading, or does it simply hide inactive visualizations while their hypercubes remain active?

    • From an Engine CPU and memory perspective, is keeping two heavy pivot tables in separate Container tabs comparable to having both displayed directly on the sheet?

    My goal is to understand whether using a Container actually reduces the Engine workload or simply improves the user interface by displaying one visualization at a time.

    Is there any official documentation or recommended best practice regarding this behavior?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi @Øystein_Kolsrud ,

    I'm trying to use Qlik Explorer for Developers to analyze application opening performance (Cold and Warm Open) in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.

    However, the Progress Report always shows "No progress data available", even though the application opens successfully.

     

    Environment:

    • Qlik Explorer for Developers: 2.11.1

    • Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2025 p15 and May 2026 P7

    • Tested both through an Nginx reverse proxy and with a direct connection to Qlik Sense

    • info template selected

    I enabled WebSocket traffic logging and found something interesting.

    The OpenDoc operation completes successfully, and the Engine returns detailed progress information through GetProgress.

    For example, during a Cold Open test:

    • Loading from storage

    • Loading fields

    • Loading tables

    • Attached to loaded document

    • Open document end, time 1794.8ms

    In this test, 34 progress messages were successfully received across multiple GetProgress calls, including the final response with qFinished: true.

    However, none of this information appears in the Progress Report section of Qlik Explorer.

    The same behavior occurs during Warm Open, and I reproduced it both with and without the external reverse proxy.

    This suggests that the Engine provides the required information, but Qlik Explorer may not be displaying or processing it correctly.

    Is this a known issue or am I missing some configuration?

    I can share sanitized WebSocket traffic logs if needed.

    Thanks!

    Hi everyone,

    I have a Qlik Automate automation, started from a button in a Qlik Cloud app.
    It sends a JSON, built by a measure in the app, to our own web service with a "Call URL" block
    (POST, JSON in the body). The web service then generates an Excel file.

    It works fine for small selections, but for big ones I get a "502 Bad Gateway", returned very quickly (about 160 ms).

    I did tests step by step, measuring the JSON size with Len() in the app:
    - about 1,036,600 bytes: OK
    - about 1,051,000 bytes: 502
    - above that: 502 every time

    So the threshold seems to be around 1 MiB (1,048,576 bytes). It doesn't depend on the content:
    I removed items one by one until it worked, then sent the last removed item alone, and it went through.

    What I checked on the web service side:
    - There is no log at all for the failed calls, so the request doesn't seem to reach the service.
    - When I send the same kind of JSON directly to the service (through its Swagger page, without Qlik Automate),
    it works up to 2.9 MB at least.
    - Enabling or disabling "Run asynchronously" doesn't change anything.

    My questions:
    1. Is there a known size limit on the request body sent by the "Call URL" block (or on a block output / variable
    in Qlik Automate)? Or at least, is it documented somewhere?
    2. If there is one, is there a recommended workaround (sending a file instead of the body, splitting the call, ...)?

    (My guess is a limit on the Qlik side, since the 502 comes back so fast, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong 🙂 )

    Thanks in advance!

    I wanted to know if there was an implementation plan for the Semantic Model.  Creating a new layer feels like a rather large project and it would be nice if there was some guidance available on how to go about it systematically.

    How much of our existing Qlik application metadata and master measures can the semantic model automatically reuse, and how much must we manually recreate?

    If it's mostly manual, I'd want a demonstrated business benefit before agreeing to implement it.

    🚀 A new way to manage sheets in Qlik Cloud!

    Managing large Qlik applications just became faster and more efficient. ⚡

    With this new functionality, you can now publish or make a group of sheets private at once, without having to do it one by one. 📊📊📊

    Previously, when working with large applications containing many sheets, each sheet had to be published or made private individually. This could take a significant amount of time and create a lot of repetitive work.

    Now, you can select a group of sheets and apply the action in a single step. 🙌

    ⏱️ Less repetitive work
    📊 Bulk management of sheets
    🚀 More productivity
    ✨ A simpler and faster experience in Qlik Cloud

    A small improvement that can make a big difference when working with large applications and many sheets. 💡

    Qlik Sense: standalone Node.js update after a security scanner alert

    Our infrastructure security scanner flagged our Qlik Sense servers as potentially vulnerable because of the bundled Node.js 24.18.1 runtime. Following the October 21, 2026 Node.js security release, I tested updating that binary independently of a Qlik patch.

    A scanner finding against a runtime version does not establish that the vulnerabilities are exploitable through Qlik Sense. Product-specific impact still needs confirmation from Qlik.

    The update from Node.js 24.18.1 to 24.22.1 passed testing in our Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2026 Patch 7 environment. This is one environment's test result, not a compatibility guarantee.

    This experimental method is not validated by Qlik. Qlik's documented approach is to update the bundled runtime through a Qlik Sense upgrade. This post shares a technical test, not an official remediation recommendation. If evaluating it, use development first, a maintenance window and a recoverable full backup.

    Check the bundled version

    & "$env:ProgramFiles\Qlik\Sense\ServiceDispatcher\Node\node.exe" --version

    The full path checks Qlik's runtime rather than another Node.js installation on the PATH.

    Run the attached scripts

    1. Extract the scripts into one folder.
    2. Download the official Node.js 24.22.1 Windows x64 binary.
    3. Edit NodeUpdate.config.psd1: configure the binary, backup and log paths, and set the expected SHA256 using the win-x64/node.exe entry in SHASUMS256.txt.
    4. Open Windows PowerShell 5.1 as administrator and run the backup:
    .\01_Backup_Node.ps1

    Continue only after BACKUP VERIFIED:

    .\02_Update_Node.ps1

    Leave the Service Dispatcher running before starting the update: the script handles stopping and restarting it. Execution is local to each machine; relative paths are resolved against the configuration folder.

    Validate and roll back

    Check Hub, QMC, application access, exports, reloads, usual connectors and Qlik logs. These are suggested checks, not a claim that all were covered in our test.

    To roll back, set RestoreBackupDirectory to the exact original backup folder, then run:

    .\03_Restore_Node.ps1

    The scripts target the main Service Dispatcher runtime on Node.js 24 only. They do not update EAPowerTools, Package Cache or npm dependencies. A binary backup is not a full site backup, and automatic rollback is not guaranteed. Recheck the installed version after subsequent Qlik maintenance.

    Sources: Node.js security bulletin, October 21, 2026; Node.js 24.22.1 release notes, October 21, 2026; Qlik Support guidance, updated August 14, 2024.

    Good Morning all,

    this one might be better suited in the API section, but i dont know....I am trying to get the IDs of all QVDs in a given (subfolder) of a space from within my LOAD script. I tried setting up a REST connection (worked) and also giot to see a few QVDs, but these seemed to be only QVDs from my personal folder...Can anyone help 

    If this will not work: My ultimate goal is to delete QVDs (using an automation) in a given space based on a list of QVD names that need to be deleted. (I tried that as well, but failed as i need the file IDs for the files i want to delete...which i dont know how to get)

    Thanks for any kind of support!
