Qlikview 12 - has QMS API been changed?

Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi Experts, Does anyone know if the QMS API for Qlikview 12 has been changed??? We have a custom software solution that manage and remove automatically unused Qlikview CALs. The solution works fine on Qlikview 11 but when we tested on Qlikview 12/12.10 unused licenses weren´t removed. Simply there are no error messages.

Hi Pablo,

There was a change done in QV 11.20. Which version were you using when it worked fine?

The proper way to remove a assigned CAL is to get the CAL configuration (Client.GetCALConfiguration) and then for the NamedCALs set the value of the RemovedAssignedCALs to the CAL you want to remove

Hi Pablo,

In release 12.10 the named CAL quarantine period was increased from 24 hours to 7 days. Maybe that's part of the problem...

Hello,

We manage cals management through calls to QlikView api.

Do you know if the calls to the APIs of 11 are compatible in 12?

Thanks

Hello Pablo Soto!!!

I have the some problem when tried to remove documents or named cals.

Apparently is a bug in QV12 API. The method doesn't give an error but it does not do anything.

I still can not solve it and without receiving help from local support.

Thanks you for your response.

I understand perfectly the licence terms and the latency times.

The problem is that if I want to release a license, it's not in quarantine as it should be. JUST DOES NOT DO ANYTHING.

It may help to post the exact version of Qlik you are running and raise as a support request with Qlik.

V12 covers a lot of versions - v12.0, 12.1, 12.2 & service releases.

Thank you Colin, the test is in the last version 12.2.

We ask for our local support, but their excuse was that their idd not support third-party applications, without even asking if this is an possible api bug.

Hello Pablo,

I was able to solve the problem I had in QV12 to erase the documents cals.

I pass a link where I explain how I solved it with the help of Qlik support.

I put together an example so you can see it

The issue is that you must modify BOTH of the below fields within the Licensing property of the DocumentMetaData class, and this will NOT work unless you insert the second line, which is the RemovedAssignedCALs list, like so:

documentMetaData.Licensing.AssignedCALs.Remove(currentCals);

documentMetaData.Licensing.RemovedAssignedCALs.Add(currentCals);

I spent a good amount of time on this, and finally have this working using the two lines of code above. I can add more code, if necessary.

It's annoying, because not only do you need do a .Remove of the Doc Cal, but you must also ADD it to the RemovedAssignedCALS list (using .Add).

I am using QlikView 12.
