Qlik Sense Migration Tools: Error operation unsupported for server-type "cloud" (Qlik Cloud) Supported server-types are: ["windows"]

Nao_Baba — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 08:55:36 GMT

Executing the Qlik Migration Tools leads to the following error on line 185 of 7_migrateapps.ps1:

Error: operation unsupported for server-type "cloud" (Qlik Cloud). Supported server-types are: ["windows"]

Example:

qlik context use $QlikWindowsContext | out-null

qlik qrs app export create $appid --skipdata $SS --exportScope all --output-file $exportAppFile

Resolution

Verify you have followed the required step-by-step configuration documented in Using qlik-cli with Qlik Sense Enterprise client-managed Repository API (QRS).

Specifically, do not forget to execute this cmd to add the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows server to qlik-cli. See Configure a context in qlik-cli for details.

Example:

##qlik context create QSEoW --server <server name> --server-type windows --api-key <JWT Token>

Cause

Possible causes:

failed to specify --server-type windows
executed the cmd against Qlik Cloud, not Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

Lines 184 and 185 test the connection as documented in Qlik-CLI: Test the connection and point to a misconfiguration of the context.

Environment

Qlik Cloud
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows

Hi,

Despite following all the steps, including the one mentioned above, we are still encountering a "403 - Forbidden" error, and the script fails to execute.
Could you help us understand what might be causing this?

Regards,
MG
