Qlik Sense connector (from the ODBC connector package like for example Oracle, MS SQL, Hive, Redshift, etc...) fails randomly with the following error message which can be found in the script and the Qlik ODBC connector package log:
Error: Connector connect error: Error starting QvConnect process: Instance 'QvOdbcConnectorPackage#1' does not exist in the specified Category.
The issue is related to a software defect and has been solved in the Qlik Sense version August 2021.
Upgrade your Qlik Sense version to any version after Qlik Sense August 2021. The ODBC connector package will be automatically upgraded as well.
Besides doing an upgrade to Qlik Sense August 2021, there are the following workarounds available:
Qlik Sense August 2021
Product Defect ID: QB-3803
Thanks @Andreas_Giesbrecht
can you provide more details on:
What is the correct procedure to upgrade the ODBC connector package?
Would this impact in some way the QS version upgrade?
Best,
Moreover, considering this post
the ODBC connector upgrade is possibile but not recommended nor supported.
Thanks.
Hello @giociva
We've put together an article that will hopefully help you with that question: How to upgrade the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows ODBC Connector Packages
The highlights: While we don't recommend upgrading the package by itself, it is doable. Just make sure to backup the current version as you will need to restore it when upgrading Sense (or for troubleshooting).
All the best,
Sonja
