Upgrade advisory for Qlik Replicate and SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS7 and SPS8
Multiple log-based replication issues may affect Qlik Replicate customers using SAP HANA DB 2.0 who are upgrading to the SAP HANA service packs SPS7 and SPS8. What problems have been identified? SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS7 (Service Pack 7): RECOB-9379: SAP Hana Log-Based SPS7 (73 and 76) version date and timestamp columns replicating as NULL RECOB-9427: SAP HANA log-based task erroring when the log position was at the end of the transaction log ... Show MoreMultiple log-based replication issues may affect Qlik Replicate customers using SAP HANA DB 2.0 who are upgrading to the SAP HANA service packs SPS7 and SPS8.
What problems have been identified?
SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS7 (Service Pack 7):
- RECOB-9379: SAP Hana Log-Based SPS7 (73 and 76) version date and timestamp columns replicating as NULL
- RECOB-9427: SAP HANA log-based task erroring when the log position was at the end of the transaction log
RECOB-9379 and RECOB-9427 have been addressed by Qlik. An early build (Qlik Replicate 2024.11, SP03 Early Build) is available.
Download the early build from: https://files.qlik.com/url/wucx4x2nbyytwseu (password: pk2pfzup)
No other issues in Service Pack 7 are known.
SAP HANA DB 2.0 SPS8 (Service Pack 8):
- RECOB-9652: There is still ongoing work in R&D related to DML operations failing to get data values in Hana Log Based SP08 (80 & 81).
What action can be taken?
Customers planning to upgrade to SPS7 or SPS8 should be aware of the risk, particularly with the changes to Hana logs affecting the Hana log parsing with respective to Qlik Replicate. We strongly advise postponing any upgrades to these versions until Qlik R&D has reviewed and certified these service packs.
What about trigger-based replication?
Qlik has not received any reports of customers using trigger-based replication experiencing the same issues. However, if an upgrade is planned, we recommend thoroughly testing in lower environments before scheduling any production upgrades.

Data Load Editor Improvements
There have been some data load editor improvements that I think are worth mentioning so in this blog post I will cover some of the new features in the data load editor that I have found useful.

Show MoreThere have been some data load editor improvements that I think are worth mentioning so in this blog post I will cover some of the new features in the data load editor that I have found useful. The first, and my favorite new feature, is the table preview. The second is the ability to do a limited load and load a specified number of rows in each table. The third feature I will cover is the ability to view the script history, as well as the option to save, download and restore previous versions. Let’s look at each of these in more detail.
When building an app, my preference is to use the load data editor to load my data. With table preview, I can view loaded data tables at the bottom of the data load editor after data has been loaded or previewed in an app.
This is my favorite new feature because nine times out of ten, I want to view the data I loaded to ensure it loaded as expected and to check that my logic is correct. Having the preview table right there in the data load editor, saves me from having to go somewhere else, like the data model viewer or a sheet, to view the loaded data. I can use the preview table to check that they have the desired results. The ability to do this quick check saves me time.
As a developer, I can select the table to preview, and the data can be viewed as a table, as seen above, or as a list or grid as seen in the images below. When previewing the data as a table, the preview table can be expanded to show more rows, columns in the table can be widened and there is pagination that allows me to move around in the table. There is also an option to view the output of the load. This will show the same info you see in the load data window when the app is reloading.
List View
Grid View
The second feature in the data load editor I find useful is the preview data option. This provides an easy way for me to load some, but not all, of the data when reloading. In the screenshot below, the default of 100 rows is entered. This will load a max of 100 rows in each table. This value can be edited if desired. By default, the use store command is toggled off. When this is off, store commands in the script are ignored preventing potentially incomplete data from being exported. This feature is helpful when I want to just profile the data and see what the data looks like. It can also be helpful when there is a lot of data to be loaded and I do not need to load it all to check that the script is working as expected. Again, this is another time saver because I can limit the load thus the time it takes for the app to reload in a single step. I find this helpful when I want to quickly test a change in the script but do not want to wait for the entire app to reload.
The last data load feature I am going to cover is history for scripts. This new capability allows me to create versions of the script, name and rename scripts, restore the script from a previous version, download the load script or delete a version of the script.
I have not used the history feature much, but I can see it being helpful when I want to name various versions of the script. Every time the script is edited, it is saved to the current version. At any time, I can save that current version giving it a meaningful name. Maybe I want to make some changes to the script but want to have a backup in case it does not work. This can be done now right in the data load editor. I also have an easy way to restore a previous version, if necessary. Once a version is named, it can be renamed, restored, or deleted. All script versions can be downloaded as a QVS file. One thing to note is that the history only saves scripts created in the data loaded editor.
Hopefully, you find these new data load editor features helpful. They are available now in your tenant. Just check out the data load editor in your app.
Thanks,
Jennell

Show MoreHello, Qlik Replicate admins,
Beginning in Q3 2025, Snowflake will mandate Multifactor Authentication (MFA). For detailed information and a timetable, see FAQ: Snowflake Will Block Single-Factor Password Authentication by November 2025.
How will this affect Qlik Replicate?
Unless MFA has been set up, this change will impact connectivity to Qlik Replicate.
How do I prepare for the change?
To mitigate the impact, switch to Key Pair Authentication. Key Pair Authentication is available by default starting with Qlik Replicate 2024.05.
For more information, see Setting general connection parameters.
If an upgrade is currently not feasible, review How to setup Key Pair Authentication in Snowflake and How to configure this enhanced security mechanism in Qlik Replicate for a possible workaround to apply Key Pair Authentication.
If you have any questions, we're happy to assist. Reply to this blog post or take similar queries to the Qlik Replicate forum.

The Butterfly presentation format displays two measures that mirror one another along the axis based on a single dimension. In the past, there have been methods used to generate the butterfly chart but now, it is a property option in the bar chart. Below are examples of butterfly charts. In the first example, the butterfly chart is comparing the average salary for men and women by country. In the second example, game stats are being compared for two selected college basketball teams.
Let’s look at how easy it is to create a butterfly chart. In the Human Capital Management example, the butterfly chart is comparing the average salary for men and women by country. The butterfly chart requires one dimension and two measures. In this example, Country is the dimension, and the two measures are as follows:
One measure for women and one measure for men. Both measures in a butterfly chart must return positive values to be displayed. If you are like me and used the old trick of creating butterfly charts by making one of the measures negative, you can simply remove that part of the expression to update your chart. In the app, both measures are master items, and a master color is applied to the measures so that males and females are different colors consistent with the rest of the app. Now, the only thing left to do is change the presentation to butterfly. This can be done from the properties of the bar chart in the Presentation > Styling section.
In both examples, the bar charts are horizontal, with mirroring measures on the y-axis. You also have the option to display the bar chart vertically. In this case, the mirroring measures will be on the x-axis.
Simple, right? As long as there are two items to be compared like male/female or team 1/team 2, a butterfly chart makes a nice alternative to the standard grouped or stacked bar chart. Try it for yourself and learn more at Qlik Help.
