Entitlement Analyzer: How to get usage data from previous version included in upgraded version?

[blipblopdk]

When updating the Entitlement Analyzer (in Qlik Cloud) to a new version, usage data are only recorded in the new version from the date where it is upgraded, so if I upgrade the app on 1. October 2025, only usage data from 1. October 2025 and forward are recorded in the new app.

As far as I have read, it should be possible to also include historical usage data recorded in previous version of the Entitlement Analyzer app into the new versioapp (that is historical usage data from the previous version of the Entitlement Analyzer app). But how? Has anyone tried this?

Right now I have two datafiles named:

"entitlement_analyzer_Consumption_2.4.0.qvd"

"entitlement_analyzer_Consumption_Overview_2.4.0.qvd"

These two data files refer to the lastest version of the Entitlement Analyzer app (version 2.4.0).

I also have two data files from the previous version named:

"entitlement_analyzer_Consumption_2.3.0.qvd"

"entitlement_analyzer_Consumption_Overview_2.3.0.qvd"

I have a deprecated app with the previous version called: "LEGACY v2.3.0 - Entitlement Analyzer".

Found the solution myself 🙂

If anyone is interested, here is what I did:

First I deleted the 3 data files for version 2.4.0 (as I had already loaded the app). Next, I changed the value of the variable “Month_Start” in the load script to a date back in time (I chose 1. Januars 2023). Then I reloaded the app, which resulted in the generation of 3 new data files for version 2.4.0. Next I changed the valu of the variable “Month_Start” back to its original value. And lastly I scheduled a daily reload of the app.

I think that if you have not loaded the new version of the app, you can skip the first step above (since these data files will not exist in this scenario).
