Qlik Analytics Migration Tool fails with Details: Forbidden

[Qlik_Eric_Thomas]

The Qlik Analytics Migration Tool fails to migrate an app between Qlik Sense Client-Managed and Qlik Cloud Analytics. The error reads:

[ERR] App '<App Name> '<App ID>' could not be exported to path 'C:\ProgramData\Qlik Analytics Migration Tool\Migration Projects\Cloud Migration_<Migration Guid>\Exported Apps\<AppID>.qvf' from Client-Managed tenant. Details: Forbidden 

Resolution

A successful migration requires the account selected when creating the Qlik Sense Client-managed connection to have the appropriate permissions to export the app from Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.

If this has been verified, other factors may come into play, such as:

• Load Balancing rules preventing an app from loading on a certain node
• Modified Security rules 
• Legacy License Allocation Rules giving Root Admins Analyzer Capacity license; see Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Root Admin cannot duplicate or export apps on QMC  for details. 

Cause

During App Migration, the app is exported via API from the Qlik Sense Client-Managed environment by the Root Admin account specified. 

The migration fails if the account does not have the correct permissions or is otherwise prevented from accessing the app.

Environment

• Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows
• Qlik Cloud Analytics
