Postgres 12.5 is unsupported?

Lauri — Sun, 17 Sep 2023 12:24:38 GMT

I upgraded our Postgres to 12.5 and Qlik to February 2023 about 6 months ago. Today I launched the Qlik August 2023 installer and got the following warning:

Is this an erroneous warning, or is 12.5 truly not supported anymore?

Yes since August 2023 due to some security issues, Qlik asks to upgrade postgres to 14.

If your database is an external one (postgres service name), you have to do it manually.

If it's a bundle one, they said that installer QPI will upgrade it, but I didn't test it si I can't confirm that it works properly for bundle config.

Not quite sure!

In the System Requirements it still lists 12.X as supported database: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/August2023/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployAdminister/Common/system-requirements.htm

Hi @rva

This for now is just a warning. August 2023 version still supports 12.X version as shown in help page: System requirements for Qlik Sense Enterprise | Qlik Sense for administrators Help

The best option would be to use the latest DB version. If you already used QPI tool to upgrade to Postgres 12 then you can't use it again and you have to do the manual way.

For others planning to upgrade PostgreSQL, read the QPI release notes here. It may not work for you. The deal-breaker for my setup: Windows Server 2012R2 does not support PostgreSQL 14.8.
