Test environment is a single server - live is a cluster

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

Please could i have some advice on the following scenario.

I need to test Qlkview Server 11.2 SR7 .

Our current release is SR2.

Our test environment is a single server .

Our live enviroment is a 2 cluster set up.

The main reason for testing is a logged issue relating to "lost bookmarks"

Will upgrading the single server test environment to SR7 be a fair test of what will happen in the clustered environment ?

Dear Tim,

It always best to have you DEV/TEST environment mimic you PROD / live environment. However, I can't say for sure that you will experience exactly from DEV to PROD since both environments are different, but the only thing I might say that can give you a hit by comparing a 2 nodes cluster to single node would be the performance. Lets see if anyone else have any other inputs.

I am afraid this is not a complete test. Even the reload engine can be slightly different when using a clustered compared to a single node server.
