Qlik Sense & NPrinting On‑Prem to Private Cloud – Feasibility and Considerations

[balajibc64]

Hello,

We are currently running the following Qlik components in an on‑premises environment:

• Qlik Sense Enterprise
  • Central Node
  • Rim Node
• Qlik NPrinting Server
• All components are Enterprise editions
• Operating System: Windows Server 2016
• No dedicated primary/secondary (failover) setup is in place

We are planning to migrate this setup to a private cloud environment. As per our internal TS team, the proposal is a lift‑and‑shift migration, where the servers will be moved as‑is and only the IP addresses will change.

Queries:

1. Is a lift‑and‑shift approach feasible for Qlik Sense and NPrinting in this scenario?
   Will the environment function correctly if only the IP addresses change?

2. What are the key technical considerations or risks we should be aware of during such a migration (e.g., certificates, services, communication between nodes, scheduling, integration components, etc.)?

3. What steps or validations should be performed before and after the migration to ensure:

   • Qlik Sense Central and Rim node communication remains intact
   • Qlik NPrinting can successfully connect to Qlik Sense
   • Reloads, tasks, and reports continue to work as expected

4. Given that we do not have a HA / primary‑secondary setup, are there any recommended best practices we should follow for a private cloud deployment?

@Eduardo_Monteiro  I'm unable to upload the file or full text. its blocking. So I copied the text for few lines from the text file. Also I copied text from the last and posted in separate. 

App id '8a6d9e4a-ebfc-4d4d-a745-359da59fbbff' current on-prem environment. 

[Eduardo_Monteiro]

Got it.

What is the app name and app id of the app you created and the app you tried to open?

Hi @Eduardo_Monteiro  I found the root cause. The issue is something like "access denied to my qlik folder". Then I verified my qlik Service account not part of Share properties. After that, its working fine. 

@Eduardo_Monteiro @Lech_Miszkiewicz 

Thank you so much for your help and support 🙂
