Consideration before installing Qlik Web Connector (July 2024) on separate server

[HaseebIqbal]

As we have 5 engine nodes(Windows Server 2016).

Out of which 3 are running scheduler services.

So firewall/network perspective, should be only allow port 5555 between the Qlik Web Connectors(Windows Server 2022) server and the engine or only scheduler nodes?

Also how much CPU & RAM we need to put on PreProd & Prod

Environment: We have Dev, PreProd & Prod Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows (February 2024 P5) Multinode on Windows 2016 Server.

Hi HI6, maybe this will help:

1. I would say the requirements for CPU and Memory would be the same as Qlik Sense Requirements:

Port 5555 needs to be open for all nodes that will be accessing the webconnector.

Thanks Alan

Do we need to update to latest Dot Net?

As the moment have default Windows 2022 .Net Framework 4.8 (528449 Release).

Yes you must update to the latest .Net Framework.
