Client Server Version Compatibility

swati_rastogi27 — Fri, 12 Feb 2016 05:23:16 GMT

Hi All,

My QlikView Server is V11.0 SR9 and the Client version is V11.0 SR12.

Will there be any problems/issues when I deploy and run applications on lower version of server which are created in a higher version of client ?

Hi,

Better if you deploy on the latest version rather than lower version. It will create problem while if you have to run the qlikview patch may be your qlik application not give performance in this case.

Hi ,

Currently I do not have an option to upgrade my Server.. so should I use a lower version of Client to develop my applications?

Regards,

Swati

Hi, better to use the same release on the client and server. I have had very strange behavior (especially with pivots, e.g. out of memory) within the access point.

No. AFAIK no new developer features have been added between SR9 and SR12. Mostly bug fixes, so you may still run into a bug on the server that is fixed in QlikView Server 11.20SR12.

But as Anand already mentioned, it's better to run the same release on both the server and the developer machines.

Weren't there some minor changes related to Direct Discovery?

You mean Direct Discovery SubQueries? Indeed, I should have said "no major new developer features...".

But there is an item that may force you to change documents after the upgrade. A bug fix for wrong sort orders causes them to work as expected. The workaround now does the wrong thing. Fortunately, this bug has only been fixed in SR13.

I had no offence intended, Peter, so sorry if I did. I simply don't know in which of the SR's they changed / added stuff to Direct Discovery except for all of it being SR5 or higher.

Anyway, thanks for clearing this one up .

Hello,

Has anyone tried using Server version 12 with 11.2 clients?

We want to upgrade the server to version 12 , but couple of our developers will not be upgrading their windows to 64 bit. So, they still need to run 32 bit client for development.

Except for any new features, can our developers still use 11.2, 32 bit client, for development and deploy it on version 12 server?

Hi,

We have the same situation, did you experience any problems with deploying 11.2 versions on a version 12 server ?
