It is supported to install and run Qlik Data Transfer on the same server as Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows or QlikView. Qlik Date Gateway requires a dedicated machine (see General limitations and considerations | Qlik Data Gateway).
Recommendations:
In a production deployment is recommended to deploy Qlik Data Transfer on a separate server instance, to avoid resource constraints with failed reloads or end-user errors as a consequence.
Qlik Data Transfer utilises the same Qlik Engine for data processing as Qlik Sense and QlikView, which means that it may allocate significant CPU and memory resources during a data refresh.
If Qlik Data Transfer is deployed on the same server as Qlik Sense or QlikView, it means that multiple instances of Qlik Engines will co-exist in the same server. This can lead to situations where the processes will compete over the same server resources. In the worst-case scenario, this could lead to one of the processes struggling to allocate resources.
If Qlik Data Transfer is installed on the same machine, keep in mind that:
If you are installing or upgrading Qlik DataTransfer on a Windows server with Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows installed, Qlik DataTransfer must be installed with the Qlik Sense services user used in the Qlik Sense installation.
