Qlik Sense PostgreSQL Upgrade Issue

FilipHr — Fri, 19 Aug 2022 13:53:50 GMT

Dear all,

I would like to ask if there is still present the issue with the upgrade executable for PostgreSQL on another than default C folder drive.

As after trying to open executable it already recognized the version of the PostgreSQL installed even at our company we have Qlik Sense at folder D.

Reference topic:

Thank You.

Filip

Hi FilipHricina, yes the installer is only made for C: drive.

Installations other than in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense are not supported at the moment.

Hello Alan,

our path is currently:

C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense

which is also on drive C. Does the installer work only in one specific path or could be path above fine?

As mentioned, after opening executable, installer recognized old 9.6 version (see image below).

In case that the answer would be negative, do you have any recommendation on how we should approach as for alternative PostgreSQL upgrade ?

Thank you,

Filip.

Hi everyboby,

we've got the same issue as Qlik sense is installed on D disk instead of C. D:\Qlik\Sense\Repository\PostgreSQL\9.6

I imagined creating a symbolic link C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense that would point to D:\Qlik\Sense because when I run the Qlik_PostgreSQL_setup.exe (https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support- Articles/Upgrading-Qlik-Sense-Repository-Database-from-PostgreSQL-9-6-to/ta-p/1934238) I got an error message about the directory that does not exist.

I do not measure the impacts of such an operation and fear that the consequences are irreversible.

Do you think this workaround might work ?
