Hello ,

1. The version of Qlik Sense you are running has gone end of support.
2. The vulnerabilities , relate to certain versions of Postgres.

Hello @TTA 

given that you had a 2019 Version, the best is to go to November 2020 then November 2021 and finally to November 2022.

in November 2022 you can migrate the database using QPI https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Upgrading-and-unbundling-the-Qlik-Sense-Repo...

This will give you Postgresql 14.8 which you can upgrade to 14.11 using the installer from here:

After that you can upgrade to November 2023 or February 2024 to be on the latest releases.

best regards

Hello,

Thanks for the precisions

We have made a succesful upgrade to February 2024 with PostGre v 14.11  

Now we need to perform a migration to PostGreSQL 16.2 do to security issues.

before proceed , we have some questions :

1 - does QlikSens February 2024 compatible/support PostGre 16.2 ? 

2 - if yes , what is the best approach  : installing PostGre 16.2 and after perform pg_upgrade and wich configuration is needed (port/connections ) ?

3 - backup PostGre v 14.11 ?

Some links will be helpful 

Thanks a lot for your support

Hello @TTA 

1. No, only 14.x is approved at the moment, we are still evaluating 15 and 16.

To move you can either to a fresh install of postrgesql 16.2 then add the user qliksenserepository. You Then create the databases QSR, SenseServices, QSMQ and Licenses using template0, and backup from 14 restore into 16.

Or if you use the same password hash algorithm in both installations you use https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Sense-Enterprise-on-Windows-How-To-Upgr...
