test_it_1234 — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 08:23:24 GMT

Hi all,

Is there a known Issue or any changes ?

Thanks

Frank

Is there a new security 'feature' that can explain this ?

This is a sample for api call.

This is the code

='http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center='

num(var_mid_lat+only({<_zoom_level={$(var_zoom)}>}( lat_offset)), '##############', '.', ',' )

','

num(var_mid_long+only({<_zoom_level={$(var_zoom)}>}( long_offset)), '##############', '.', ',' )

'&zoom=$(var_zoom)'

'&maptype='&var_maptype

'&size='&map_size_x&'x'&map_size_y

'&sensor=false'

I just installed a new qlikview client and created a chart with a dynamic background image.

Not successful.

Is there a known bug?

I am in the process of upgrading to QV12 (the latest currently available ~ 12.1 SR7) and experiencing the same issue with Dynamic Image backgrounds not working.

Has anyone found a workaround for this?

I found the following article on the support portal that addresses this: https://qliksupport.force.com/QS_CaseWizardKnowledgeArticle?id=kA5D00000004N7oKAE&_ga=2.47275751.17177060.1501003464-507…

Nothing yet ~ if you have a support contract I would recommend opening up a case and reference bug ID: QV-11063 (the more folks who report this give it more weight to get fixed more quickly.)

Here's a snippet from the article; not sure I completely follow, but support should be able to provide more guidance. If I read this correctly, the underlying issue is that QV12 is forcing to attempt authenticating to the HTTP proxy, even if the proxy is not configured for authentication, but I might be wrong about this.

Workaround until the bug fix:
Proxy has to be configured in order to authenticate all communication for the url that is used
for example http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/*
so if it's possible, at proxy level, white-list all requests for the domain that is used.

Hi, Does anyone know if this is fixed in 12.2? I can't find anything in the release notes that suggests so...?

Thanks.

Mathew > I believe this is fixed, but I needed to tweak the settings.ini file. According to the following article (you'll need to be logged into the support portal for the link to work): List of Bug Fixes included in QlikView November 2017 (12.20) this was fixed in the 12.20 initial release. But just upgrading didn't do the trick.

Check out this article for the solution: Dynamic images (from URL eg Google Maps) are not visible in Qlikview 12.10 if a proxy is used

Specifically:

add in Settings.ini the following configuration WebFileUseWinAPI = 1
