Do you see these charts in the qlik sense app, looks like either extension is not installed or its not working. But first would like to know if the sense app has the same problem or not.

Check if you see more info about this error in the nprinting logs - nprinting_engine_cef and reporting_web_renderer. The log location is as below -

\\server name\c$\ProgramData\NPrinting\Logs\

Hope you got enough RAM and CPU resources and performance of the app is good enough, hope there is no intermittent timeout issue when nprinting is trying to open the chart to fetch its image.

The issue indicates to me that:

permormance of your Qlik Sense is suffering
read/write from your Qlik Sense repository may be suffering too + access to repository service
If there are any 3rd party extensions used that may be another problem - relate to supported objects documentation on https://help.qlik.com
I would follow up on the performance of that sheet - how long do you need to wait until you get results populated in this sheet. Since it is NPrinting i would expect this to be tuned to perfection and give you instant results as soon as you enter that sheet. If you dont get that experience my take is you did not do your homework and did not build your app properly to support required performance.

Other comments:

what is your network configuration?
seems like the network latency can be a factor too
are you running supported configuration (all is well documented so your responsibility would be to make sure that everything is supported, but we cannot confirm this without knowing the exact versions of Qlik Sense and Qlik NPrinting)

cheers

Hi,

Thanks a lot for help. Yes I am new to these thing as I just take over this position from previous employee. The previous one did all those configuration and I followed. For the performance, I have to wait a few minute to generate report based on the number of content inside the report.

As I am new to qlik world, things are new to me. How can I check network configuration and how to modify my app so that it build properly to support required performance. Appreciate a lot for your help.

My qliksense version is

qliksense April 2019,Qliksense server 13.21.1.

NPrinting is

Qlik NPrinting September 2019

Version: 19.29.3.0.

You are saying that sometimes it is working and sometimes it is not. If you re-run your reports on the same application(no updates on the sourceapplications) is it the same reports that shows invalid visualisation? Or is it changing between the executions?

If it is the same reports that always fails on a given data set it could be invalid selections causing your issue. Are you applying loops or multiple filters into your visualisation? Could it be that the combination of filters returns no valid selections?

So what happen is that, for example, I schedule the report to the specific users. when they received, they are getting these issue with invalid visualization. When reload, the charts are appeared again. In template, I try run preview and some time give me invalid but most of the time show correct one.

Hi,

Please, when posting a new conversation on the community, add the label with the correct version of Qlik NPrinting you are using. Thanks.

You are creating reports from a Qlik Sense app that uses a not supported third party extension. To understand what extensions are supported refer to https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2021/Content/NPrinting/MultiDocument/Using-Sense-third-party-extensions.htm

Hi,

Well noted and I will take care of it next time. How can I check whether which of my extensions are not supported extension?

Thank you

Hi,

In the linked page of the official help site we supply the general requirements a third party extension must have to be compatible with Qlik NPrinting. We do not supply a list of supported extensions or statement on a specific one. I suggest to check the listed requirements with the supplier of the extension.

Best Regards,

Ruggero

Make sure that the Qlik Sense object JMjSeES still exists in the connected app. After-that,

Refresh the Connection Cache,
Close and Re-open the Qlik NPrinting Designer, and
Try to Add it Again.
It must be visible in the list.
