Upgrade from v3.0 to February 2019, doubts

[gorkisope]

Hi,

I need to upgrade from version v3.0 to the actual (February 2019) version of Qlik Sense.

Is it better if I first upgrade to version 3.2.4 and then do the upgrade to the last version? I've seen some people recommend doing that to avoid major problems Here.

I was planning to follow this guide: Upgrading to Qlik Sense June 2017 or later from Qlik Sense versions earlier than 3.1 SR2

Any recommendations overall?

Thanks,

Gorka

I would strongly recommended going through 3.1.2, and moving to shared persistence during that upgrade. Then going at least through one intermediate version (late 2017/early 2018).

After each upgrade, please verify that everything is as it should before proceeding with the next step.

Hello, 

So if you are running QLik Sense 3.0, that means that you are still using the old Persistence Model (synchronized persistence)

So the guide you mentioned in the description is the correct one. 

In addition, you should go for a step upgrade so I would suggest:

• Upgrade from Qlik Sense 3.0 Synchronized Persistence to Qlik Sense 3.2.5 Shared Persistence.
• Upgrade from Qlik Sense 3.2.5 to June 2017 or September 2017. (we have known issues when upgrading directly from Qlik Sense 3.2 or earlier to November 2018 and probably later) See https://support.qlik.com/articles/000062033
• Upgrade then to February 2019

I would also suggest not to enable the Centralized Logging Database to reduce the risk of failure. You can then enable it afterward following: https://support.qlik.com/articles/000059077

Finally, please make sure to take a Qlik Sense backup before doing the upgrade following:

And make sure to verify that QMC and HUB are working properly between each upgrade. 

Hope this helps!

Hello,

We finally did the upgrade to QlikSense Feb 2019. But instead of using your method, we simply uninstalled and installed the new version. Then we imported everything and made the new conections. 

We tried the method you showed us but it didnt work for us.

Still, thank for your replies!
