Qlikview Upgrade in Multi Servers

Jay587 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

As we have recently completed the Qlikview Upgrade to May 2022 Version in development server which is working as expected as of now.

And it's time to upgrade Qlikview in production but here the scenario is different for us ,as we have 2 production servers.

In one server, we have DSC,QDS,QMS services are present and in other server QVS,QVWS are present.

Here are my Questions ,

1.Do I Need to follow the same upgrade in procedure in both of the server which I did in dev server or is there any other approaches ?

2.Do I need to install the same set up (Did it in dev server) files in both the prod servers ?

Please help me on my questions and let me know if there are any other challenges ?

Thanks in advance.

@Jay587

You should only install the services you need on the Servers.

There are instruction for upgrading multi node site here

@asr587 In addition to link provided by Maria here are some useful links for Upgrading and Migrating Best Practices for QlikView Services Config, Settings.ini and QVB Settings.ini Files

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/A-QlikView-Upgrade-Guide/ta-p/1713389

Though the instructions are written with a QlikView 11.20 environment as the base install, the procedure can be applied to all QlikView versions.

Hi @Jay587,

Both @Maria_Halley and @Jill_Masinde have provided great information. One other item would be to review the Release Notes for all versions between your current version and the version you are upgrading to, as they will provide information on changes to the product and bug fixes that were introduced.

Best Regards

Hi @Jay587,

As @Maria_Halley previously stated, only install the services that are needed on the server.

So for the server where you have DSC,QDS,QMS services installed, you would select the Custom Installation, select profiles radio button and tick the Reload/Distribution Engine, Management Console checkboxes. For the server where you have QVS, QVWS services installed, you would select he Custom Installation, select profiles radio button and tick the QlikView Server and Webserver checkboxes.

Best Regards

Hi @Chip_Matejowsky

Many Thanks for the detailed information.

One more query,I can see that the Qlikview Directory Service connector in presented in both the production servers.

It will install automatically with out selecting any profiles or it's common service in any instillation ?

Please help me on this.

Thanks in advance.

@Jay587

If you install a QlikView it does. I assume that if you don't have one, you can't log in to configure the Server.

Do you agree @Chip_Matejowsky ?

Hello @Jay587,

I agree with @Maria_Halley When upgrading a QlikView Server installation, the DSC is automatically upgraded if it is already installed.

Hello @Chip_Matejowsky @Maria_Halley @Jill_Masinde ,

Urgent help needed !!!!

We have upgraded our prod environment yesterday successfully,I don't see any issues in qlikview environment but today morning we have some Nprinting reports in which Qlik entity reports are failing ,other nprinting reports are finished.

Below is the error for the Qlik entity reports :

WARN: error during report generation: Something report production failed

Finished content production

Failed generation of report 5f11777e-166a-43f8-b300-4d32697e9aa3 for user 6f9792c8-945c-4561-bd92-1ae20a921f94. ERROR: Something report production failed

I'm not sure why only Qlik entity reports are failing with this error.

Please help me quickly as users are waiting for the reports.

Thanks in advance.

Hello @Jay587 ,

did you check that your NPrinting version is compatible with your installed QlikView version? Maybe you need to upgrade your NPrinting too.

QlikView May 2022 SR1 is supported since NPrinting May 2022 SR2 (Qlik NPrinting® Release Notes - May 2022 Service R... - Qlik Community - 1981918)

QlikView May 2022 SR2 is supported since NPrinting May 2022 SR4 (Qlik NPrinting® Release notes - May 2022 Service R... - Qlik Community - 2038775)

I did not find anything in the release notes of NPrinting May 2021 (every SR) that QlikView May 2022 is supported. So you need NPrinting May 2022 with the correct SR installed.

Kind regards

Peter
