Question
I would like to get a full list of integrations and configuration details of those integrations. Things like the list of tables we are syncing, the schedule it is being synced on, etc.
Can you provide a way to let Stitch users export the details of the integrations in one file? It should show the list of tables replicated, replication frequency, the integration settings to show how its configured.
You can accomplish this with the Qlik Talend Cloud Migration Toolkit: stitch-assets-inventory | Qlik Help
Alternatively, if you have an Advanced or Premium subscription you can leverage Stitch's Connect API to obtain metadata on your account:
Stitch Connect API Reference# API functionality (Qlik Stitch Documentation)

Creating a Qlik Sense Client-Managed connection | Migration Center Help documents all steps needed to create a Qlik Sense Client-Managed connection to the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool.
As a part of the System Requirements (System requirements | Migration Center Help), Qlik advises that the Qlik Sense Proxy service must have a valid third-party certificate.
This article explains the process to follow if no third-party certificate is available; for example, when setting up a test connection in your UAT or test environment. For this example, we will be using the self-signed certificate used by Qlik Sense.
The first challenge we need to overcome is the Not Secure alert when accessing Qlik Sense:

Accessing the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool fails with:
Missing Tenant Access. Your account requires a tenant association to access this resource. Currently, no tenant is linked to your account.
Log in with the correct account defined during the installation process.
The admin account is configured during the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool installation process:
The user logged in to Windows does not match the admin user originally defined.
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
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:
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.

Qlik Cloud is designed to support a single interactive Identity Provider (IdP) per tenant.
This approach enhances security, governance, and operational control while simplifying authentication management. Organizations that require multiple identity sources can achieve this by using a federated IdP (such as Azure Entra, Auth0, Keycloak, or Okta) to consolidate authentication and seamlessly connect it to Qlik Cloud, as described by @Leigh_Kennedy in Using Multiple concurrent Identity Providers with Qlik Cloud.
Qlik Cloud allows organizations to configure an interactive IdP to manage user authentication. Options include:
Any unauthenticated user attempting to access the tenant is redirected to the configured interactive IdP for authentication, ensuring a streamlined and secure login experience.
Using a single interactive IdP is a best practice for identity management and ensures consistency, security, and simplified administration.
Key reasons include:
User Identity Consistency: Qlik Cloud relies on a user's subject and email as unique identifiers. Managing a single interactive IdP helps prevent duplicate identities and ensures seamless user access, reducing risk of users gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data or permissions.
Streamlined Identity & Access Management: Since Qlik Cloud does not transform incoming claims beyond remapping keys, keeping authentication centralized prevents unintended variances in usernames, email formats, or group names. This improves security and reduces maintenance of licenses and entitlements.
Optimized Group Management: A single interactive IdP provides a consistent structure for groups, ensuring they align with an organization’s access policies. By managing group filtering in one place, organizations can maintain clear and structured permissions. Managing groups across multiple IdPs can quickly become unmanageable, leading to inconsistencies in user access.
Simplified Access Control: Groups in Qlik Cloud are referenced by name, making it more efficient to manage access through a single federated IdP rather than multiple sources.
Efficient Token Management: A unified IdP helps maintain consistency in authentication tokens, reducing administrative overhead and ensuring a smooth user experience.
Enhanced Security & Auditability: By centralizing authentication through a single IdP, organizations can apply security controls, enforce device policies, and monitor user access through audit logs.
A federated IdP ensures that organizations retain full control over authentication policies, while providing a seamless experience for users accessing Qlik Cloud.
Many organizations choose to use a federated identity provider to streamline identity management, enhance security, and improve user experience across multiple applications. Benefits include:
Centralized User Lifecycle Management: Users from different sources can be managed in a single system, reducing duplication and inconsistencies.
Improved Security Policies: Organizations can enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA), conditional access policies, and device trust settings at the IdP level.
Single Sign-On (SSO) Across Applications: Users authenticate once and gain seamless access to multiple platforms, including Qlik Cloud.
Comprehensive Logging & Compliance: A federated IdP provides consolidated audit trails and governance controls for user authentication.
By implementing a federated identity provider, organizations can maintain flexibility in their authentication strategy while ensuring compatibility with Qlik Cloud.
The recommended approach for organizations that need to authenticate users across multiple identity sources is to configure a federated IdP that consolidates authentication. Solutions like Azure Entra ID or Okta can be used to unify identity management and connect to Qlik Cloud via OIDC or SAML.
Set Up a Federated IdP (Azure Entra ID, Okta, or another identity management solution).
Sync Identity Sources within the federated IdP to ensure unique identities across different user groups.
Configure OIDC/SAML Authentication in Qlik Cloud with the federated IdP.
This approach ensures a secure, efficient, and scalable authentication strategy that aligns with best practices for enterprise identity management.
Qlik Cloud is designed to integrate seamlessly with a single interactive IdP, providing a robust and secure authentication framework. Organizations that need to consolidate multiple identity sources can achieve this through a federated IdP, ensuring centralized management, improved security, and a streamlined user experience. By leveraging enterprise-grade IdPs like Azure Entra ID or Okta, organizations can enhance their identity management strategy while maintaining full control over authentication policies and governance.

What is the default user session timeout for Qlik Sense Business and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS? Can the session timeout for Qlik Cloud be changed?
The default (fixed) value is set to 30 minutes. This is controlled by SESSION_TTL.
It is not currently possible to adjust the session timeouts in the Qlik Cloud.
The information in this article is provided as-is and to be used at own discretion. Depending on tool(s) used, customization(s), and/or other factors ongoing support on the solution below may not be provided by Qlik Support.
This video will demonstrate how to use Qlik-CLI for SaaS to migrate Apps from your on-premises Qlik Sense environment to your Qlik Sense SaaS edition. Qlik-CLI makes it possible for scripting and automating App migration.
Note: These instructions apply to Qlik Cloud. Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows functions similarly. See How To Edit Published Qlik Sense Apps on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
Qlik Cloud offers two different spaces to work in. Shared Spaces and Managed Spaces. Apps previously published to a Managed Space e cannot be edited in place, and they will need to be replaced by an app modified on a personal or shared space.
This article covers publishing to both. For additional information on the available space types, see Working in spaces.
Apps are not published to Shared Spaces. They are moved to or uploaded to them. Apps in shared spaces can therefore be edited freely by anyone that has the correct permissions, like any other unpublished app. Please, check Developing and sharing apps with shared spaces on the help site.
Apps cannot be edited directly in managed spaces. The developer will have to modify the original app which is present in their own personal space, or in a shared space. The app is always left in its original place when the app gets published: the publishing process will make a copy of the app, and keep the original where it was.
If the original app was deleted at some stage, a published app can be unpublished using the REST API. The developer will then be able to edit the unpublished app.
If the system cannot identify a connection (for instance, if the modified app was actually redeveloped from scratch) you will need to manually the space and the exact name of the published app and prompt to replace the app.
You can upload QlikView applications (.qvw files) to your Qlik Sense SaaS hub.
Uploaded apps cannot exceed 1 GB in size. If you are licensed for expanded apps, you can upload apps up to 2 GB in size. If you are licensed for dedicated capacity, you can upload apps up to 10 GB in size.

Qlik Cloud apps thumbnail's size is not limited and this could lead to undesired behaviours if such is not taken into account when adding the thumbnails to your apps.
Such undesired behaviour could be end users facing slowness when navigating trough the Catalog or the Home section.
The bigger is the size of your thumbnail on the app the longer it will take to be loaded, this could be easily seen in the Developer tools of the browser as below:
It is strongly recommended to use such images as optimized as possible ensure end users performance when navigations trough such sections.
The main contributor on the loading time of an app thumbnail will be its size (e.g 5B vs 5MB) resulting in different range of times.
A multi-cloud deployment allows you to distribute Qlik Sense apps to the cloud for consumption. You can set up your deployment to connect Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows to Qlik Cloud. For more information on multi-cloud deployments, see: Multi-cloud deployments to Qlik Cloud
In these multi-cloud environments, Qlik Cloud can be considered an expansion of the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows platform, whereas all app development is carried out on the client-managed platform, and the apps can be made available for further consumption in Qlik Cloud.
Any additional editing (modifications of the Data Model) or duplication of the distributed apps is not possible directly on Qlik Cloud and needs to be carried out in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
Limited options are available on the Qlik Cloud hub for apps distributed from a client-managed platform:
In this article, we outline the ideal workflow used when distributing apps.
If you want to instead fully migrate an app to Qlik Cloud and make them available for modifications, then the app needs to be manually uploaded to the hub. Alternatively, we offer an automated option using the Qlik-cli (see the app import command).
