How is Analyzer Capacity managed between Qlik Sense Enterprise and QlikView?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

As a benefit of our Analytics Modernisation Program (AMP), a signed license key is issued as a unified license key. This enables the use of one license across Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows and QlikView, granted the license has the required QlikView infrastructure attributes (QV_NODES for QVS, QDS_NODES for Publisher).

This allows for analyzer capacity to be shared across all systems using the same license.

Environment

QlikView 
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows 
With a Signed License Key (SLK) applied as a unified license across multiple environments 

Here is an example:

A QlikView server currently shows 18 minutes of consumption in the QlikView Management Console (Fig 1.) 

This can be accessed through: System (A) > Licenses (B) > Choose the License (C) > Professional and Analyzer access (D)

Fig 1

If a user accesses and consumes on a linked Qlik Sense Enterprise Server, the Qlik Sense Enterprise Management Console will show the up-to-date consumption. See Fig 2. Note the 24 minutes, an increase from the 18 we have seen in QlikView.

This can be accessed in the Qlik Sense Management Console > License Management > License usage summary

Fig 2

The usage on the server will be synchronized and shown on the other linked servers within approximately 10 minutes. See Fig 3 and note the 24 minutes, which matches the value in Qlik Sense.

For local consumption data, each server will store its own consumption and user information.   

For Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows, the License Monitor app will show capacity consumption.

For the QlikView Server, the capacity consumption is shown and stored in the local session log file, with the CAL consumed being Analyzer Capacity, with a log entry like this:

RLS64 12.50.20200.0 20210412T132942.000+0200 20210412T133617.000+0200 C:/ProgramData/QlikTech/Documents/retail store performance.qvw 20190220T113522.000+0200 Socket closed by client 20210412T133601.000+0200 00:00:16 0.000000 10228 1303493 31 2 QTSEL\ghd 1718e2e6-5b1c-4b9e-87a9-d9200f55e37a Ajax QvWS 12.50.20200.0 browser.msie illa/5.0 (windows nt 10.0 On 4747 fe80::df3:cd38:b86f:50bd 58495 Analyzer Capacity 6 315dcfab-7448-4f4b-8209-ef34742b1abe

Hi @Sonja_Bauernfeind 

In the Operations Monitor on Qlik Sense I can see individual 6 min allocations to a user on the Log Details sheet.  It means I can check a session in the Sessions Detail, 48 min session, and hope over to Log Details and find that 4 allocations were made for that session.

When a QV User is allocated a 6 min - from the above, it will roll up into the session log - was that 6 the 6 minutes?  Is there any equivalent to Qlik Sense in terms of showing when each 6-min allocation was allocated?

All the best, Adam

I meant "hop"... not "hope" and for some reason edit is missing 🙄

Hello @AdamBS 

I'll review this for you.

All the best,

This was helpful, yet my "Cal Usage Count" field is empty. Must this be configured somewhere to record the log?

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Hello @pete_fsg 

CAL Usage Count would only apply to old legacy license which still use QlikView CALs. They are not typically found in a Signed License key.

You will be seeing Analyzer and Professional Access instead.

All the best,
Sonja

Thanks for the response Sonja. However, this much I know :).

I'd like to know where in the Qlikview Session Logs, does it record the Analyser Capacity usage. I found the field "CAL Usage Count", but that is not populated. So, do I have to enable something somewhere to record this log?
