Migration and Upgrade

Before upgrading, it's important to review the migration and upgrade considerations below.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 Upgrade/Installation Prerequisite

Using the Setup Wizard - It is preferable for .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed on the Enterprise Manager Server machine before running Setup. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not present on the machine, Setup will prompt you to install it. This November require the machine to be rebooted when the installation completes.
Silent Installation – The ISS file required for silently installing Enterprise Manager must be created on a machine that already has .NET 4.8 installed on it.

Upgrade paths

Qlik supports four Enterprise Manager versions (including this one).

Direct upgrade is supported from the last two versions only (including any service releases for those versions). The last two versions are Enterprise Manager May 2021 and Enterprise Manager November 2020.

Upgrading from Enterprise Manager April 2020 (6.6)

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Manager April 2020 (6.6), you need to perform two upgrades. First upgrade to Enterprise Manager November 2020, and then upgrade to Enterprise Manager November 2021.

Upgrading from unsupported versions

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Manager 6.x (starting from 6.3), you first need to upgrade to Enterprise Manager 6.5, then to Enterprise Manager November 2020 (7.0) and finally to Enterprise Manager November 2021.

If you are upgrading from Enterprise Manager 3.3, please contact Qlik Support.

What's new?

The following section describes the enhancements and new features introduced in Qlik Enterprise Manager November 2021.

Notifications

The following task notifications were added:

Processing Status:

Task was started manually or by the Scheduler - Notifies when the task is started manually or by the Scheduler.
Task was stopped manually or by the Scheduler - Notifies when the task is stopped manually or by the Scheduler.

Errors and Warnings:
Any Warning - Notifies when a warning is issued in the system.

Extended Compose integration

Extended Compose support was first introduced in Enterprise Manager May 2021 SR2.

The following functionality is now supported when working with Qlik Compose August 2021 or later:

Monitoring of Data Lake projects
Monitoring of workflows - Note that monitoring information is provided at the workflow level only. For information on individual tasks in the workflow, you need to drill-down to the Compose project from Enterprise Manager.
Monitoring tasks that have the same name, but are defined in different Compose projects. To facilitate such support:
- In the API, Compose task names are now appended with a double underscore and the project name. For example, MyTask__MyProject.Task names without an appended project name are no longer supported. Therefore, any scripts or applications using the old name format (i.e. without the __projectName suffix) will need to be updated to use the new format.
- In the console user interface, a new Project column has been added, allowing you to easily differentiate between two tasks with the same name.

The newly supported functionality has also been incorporated into the following API methods (REST, .NET, and Python): GetTaskList, GetTaskDetails, RunTask, and StopTask.

Support for Microsoft Edge Browser

This version introduces support for accessing the Enterprise Manager console using the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser.

End of life/support features

This section provides information about End of Life versions, End of Support features, and deprecated features.

Impending end of support

Microsoft Internet Explorer Browser
From Enterprise Manager May 2022, Microsoft Internet Explorer will no longer be supported.
