NPrinting affect Qlik Server overall performance?

[ravishankarqv]

Hi Community,

We were working on Qlik Development server and everything going on well until NPrinting server installed on same server. After installing NPrinting, Qlik Server’s overall performance turned to very poor but working without any issue. E.g. 30 minutes reloading activity takes 3-4 hrs with no issues. Even saving an empty notepad file takes lot of time.

After installing NPrinting, we noticed RAM usage is below 25% and CPU load below 10%. Event log file do not have any major errors.

We were not sure whether it is hardware problem or NPrinting installation.

Any one encountered this situation before? Any solution(s)?

Appreciate any ideas or thoughts to resolve this.

Additional Info: Qlik 11.2 SR6; Windows 2012 Server;

Thanks in advance

Ravi

Hi,

It might be time to move you distribution service to a difference machine.

Can I ask what version of NPrinting Server you are running?

I am dealing with a similar issue. I am using 16.0.0.0. We also contacted support and were given 16.0.0.1 and the problem persists.

this is very weird, you might face some technical challenges if NPrinitng jobs are executing, especially in RAM consumption, but if you are not executing any schedule it should not have any effect on the performance.

have you tried uninstalling nprinting and see if the problem will be fixed?

Hi Bill,

Thanks for your input.

@DataGrrl,

I will update that too.

@Malek Safa

We were thinking of uninstalling NPrinting and give a try. I update results.

Hi DataGrrl,

NPrinting 16.0.0.1.  Have you resolved this issue?

If saving an empty notepad file takes a long time, this could be a disk issue rather than QlikView.

Is the server physical or virtual?  Are the disks local disks or on a SAN? Are any other tasks on the server affected?

[datagrrl]

No, we are still working on it. I have new hardware on the server I have an issue with. No issue with the same thing on a VM.

As far as I can tell the only way to get it now is to go through Qlik, if you search for NPrinting Download you will have to fill out a sales form. You can't use version 16, the Qlik version without a license key.

It is possible someone has an old version saved somewhere, good luck. I don't know what Qlik's requirements for using the demo are, I mean how easy it is to just get a trial key. Personally I think a few sales calls would be worth the demo.
