Hello Fernando,

We have the same dillema. I have made some tests and even reported some issues to the Qlik support team. The short answer from them was "although it's named nPrinting 17, have in mind that it's really like a 1st version, like nPrinting 1.0, because all the architecture was changed. Each release will fix the reported bugs".

My issues were related with the multiple QV.exe instances that are on RAM and are not closing after a report was generated, high resources comsumptions and manual tasks launch failing.

I would like, as you, hear experiences from those who had already upgrated the system, on a production enviroment.

Regards,

Julian

Hi, Julian,

Thanks for your test experience. I plan to do some test with Qliksense 3.1 and nprinting 17 as well.

It is supervising to see "Nprinting 17 is really like a 1st version".

So for my qlikview solution, I will stay for Nprinting 16.

But Nprinting 16 is not available for Qliksense, right?

Hi Zhihong, no, I'm afraid it's not. Only for QlikView.

Good luck with this dude

Hi All,
I haven't used Nprinting 16 (have knowledge) but I'm using 17 . Qlik took down many features of 16 in 17 . but eventually we will have all the features back. for now the tool has many issues , bugs and less features than 16 which reduces the tool capability of doing things which we expect from nprinting 17 keeping 16 in mind and today its not complete tool, the tool is evolving every upgrade has major bug fixes and features added . In Mid 2017 (date is not out yet) they are claiming to have a big release (17.3 may be) which brings all the features back which we had in nprinting 16 and can expect more.

If you started  using tool now like me we are one year late for nprinting 16 and one year early for nprinting 17.3

Thanks

Hi, Sravan and Avinash,

Thanks for your info.

Our plan is that if Qliksense + nprinitng can work well, we would like to move our current Qlikview+Nprinitng solution to Qliksense + Npriniting.

As now Nprinting is still not ready for Qliksense, I think we need postponed this plan.

I suggest you to install NP and test properly before moving from QV+NP to QS+NP.....
