Qlik Support advises using the driver version for your endpoints that was certified for the version of Qlik Replicate you are using. The use of a driver running a different version than what was certified can lead to unpredictable results.
Before troubleshooting a potential defect, always ensure a supported driver is in use.
However, it is acceptable in most cases to use a later patch for the driver so long as it is the same major version. For example:
The current release of Qlik Replicate is May 2024. It requires ODBC driver version 18.3 for Microsoft SQL Server source and target. The other currently supported Qlik Replicate releases, November 2023, May 2023, and November 2022, all were certified with driver version 18.1.
However, the driver version 18.3 can be used.
Generally speaking, if the version of the driver is the same and has only been patched (as is the case between driver 18.1 and 18.3) we do not anticipate any issues using it with November 2023, May 2023 and November 2022 versions. If an issue is encountered on these versions with ODBC driver version 18.3, please open a support case.
This is generally true with using a patched version of the certified driver for other databases/endpoints as well, but there might be exceptions. Some endpoints mandate only specific versions for the driver. If there is a doubt, please open a support case.
