Qlik AutoML: This prediction failed to run successfully due to schema errors
Introduction "This prediction failed to run successfully due to schema errors" can occur during the prediction phase if there is a mismatch in the ta... Show MoreIntroduction
"This prediction failed to run successfully due to schema errors" can occur during the prediction phase if there is a mismatch in the table schema between training and prediction datasets.In this example, we will show how a column in the prediction dataset was profiled as a categorical rather than numeric because it contained dashes '-' for empty values.
Steps
1. Upload test_dash_training.csv and test_dash_prediction.csv to Qlik Cloud. See attachments on the article if you would like to download.
Training dataset:
Prediction sample:
2. Create a new ML experiment and choose test_dash_training.csv, and click 'Run Experiment'
3. Deploy the top model
5. Create a new prediction and select test_dash_prediction.csv as the apply dataset
You will encounter a warning message, "Feature type does not match the required model schema."
If you continue, you will encounter another message after clicking 'Save and predict now'.
6. If you click 'Save configuration', the prediction will attempt to run but will not produce prediction dataset and will display an error.
Resolution
Clean up dashes from 'chats' column in test_dash_prediction.csv. Either remove them from the prediction dataset or transform to a numeric value such as zero.

Replicate - Oracle source: Long Object Names exceeding 30 Bytes
In Replicate Oracle source endpoint there was a limitation: Object names exceeding 30 characters are not supported. Consequently, tables with names ex... Show MoreIn Replicate Oracle source endpoint there was a limitation:
Object names exceeding 30 characters are not supported. Consequently, tables with names exceeding 30 characters or tables containing column names exceeding 30 characters will not be replicated.
Cause
The limitation comes from low versions Oracle behavior. However since Oracle v12.2, Oracle can support object name up to 128 bytes, long object name is common usage at present. The limitation in User Guide Object names exceeding 30 characters are not supported can be overcome now.
There are two major types of long identifier name in Oracle, 1- long table name, and 2- long column name.
Resolution
1- Error messages of long table name
[METADATA_MANAGE ]W: Table 'SCOTT.VERYVERYVERYLONGLONGLONGTABLETABLETABLENAMENAMENAME' cannot be captured because the name contains 51 bytes (more than 30 bytes)
Add an internal parameter skipValidationLongNames to the Oracle source endpoint and set its value to true (default is false) then re-run the task:
2- Error messages of long column name
There are different messages if the column name exceeds 30 characters
[METADATA_MANAGE ]W: Table 'SCOTT.TEST1' cannot be captured because it contains column with too long name (more than 30 bytes)
Or
[SOURCE_CAPTURE ]E: Key segment 'CASE_LINEITEM_SEQ_NO' value of the table 'SCOTT.MY_IMPORT_ORDERS_APPLY_LINEITEM32' was not found in the bookmark
Or (incomplete WHERE clause)
[TARGET_APPLY ]E: Failed to build update statement, statement 'UPDATE "SCOTT"."MY_IMPORT_ORDERS_APPLY_LINEITEM32"
SET "COMMENTS"='This is final status' WHERE ', stream position '0000008e.64121e70.00000001.0000.02.0000:1529.17048.16']There are 2 steps to solve above errors for long column name :
(1) Add internal parameter skipValidationLongNames (see above) in endpoint
(2) It also requires a parameter called "enable_goldengate_replication" is enabled in Oracle. This can only be done by end user and their DBA:
alter system set ENABLE_GOLDENGATE_REPLICATION=true;
Take notes this is supported when the user has GoldenGate license, and Oracle routinely audits licenses. Consult with the user DBA before alter the system settings.Environment

Connect NPrinting Server to One or More Qlik Sense servers
How to Connect NPrinting to Single or Multiple Qlik Sense servers: You may use this article to connect to NPrinting to a single or multiple QS server... Show MoreHow to Connect NPrinting to Single or Multiple Qlik Sense servers:
- You may use this article to connect to NPrinting to a single or multiple QS servers
- In some cases you may wish to connect your NPrinting server to multiple Qlik Sense server environments. The process described in this article will describe how to enable this feature and how to manage possible errors encountered.
- Note that all additional QS servers must be in the same domain as the original QS and NP servers.
- If having issues connecting to multiple Qlik Sense servers, see Qlik NPrinting will not read Qlik Sense certificates
Environments:
- This feature is ONLY available in NPrinting June 2019 release and newer versions.
- NOTE: This feature is not supported in NPrinting April 2019 and earlier versions.
Implement the solution:
- Go to Qlik Sense QMC>Start>Certificates
- Export the Qlik Sense server certificates from each additional Qlik Sense server.
- Use the NPrinting server computer name or the Friendly Url Alias of the NPrinting Server as the "Machine Name" that is used to log into the NPrinting Web Console with.
- Export a certificate for both if both addresses below are used to access the NP web console.
- Computer name: nprintingserverPROD1
- Friendly URL/Alias address: Internal.nprintingserver.domain.com
- Select include secret key and
- do NOT include a password when exporting the certificates. See Exporting certificates through the QMC on the Qlik Sense Online Help for details.
- Navigate to the exported certificates location on the QS server and rename the exported file 'client.pfx' with a suitable name. ie: if your Qlik Sense server name is QS1, prepend the file client certificate file name as follows: QS1client.pfx (Naming of this file should ideally reflect the Qlik Sense server that the file was exported from. You may use however, any name that you wish)
- Copy this file to the NPrinting server path:
"C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\Settings\SenseCertificates"
- Restart all NPrinting services
- If newly installing NPrinting May 2023 IR or later, please check this article if you are having NPrinting Qlik Sense connection failures: NPrinting Qlik Sense Connections Fail with Fresh Install of May 2023 NPrinting and Higher Version
NOTE: Reminder that the NPrinting Engine service domain user account MUST be ROOTADMIN on each Qlik Sense server which NPrinting is connecting to.
Test access to the additional Qlik Sense server.
- Open the NPrinting Web Console
- Create a new NP App. ie: "NP_App_QSserver-2"
- Create a new NP connection and use the Virtual Proxy Address for the new target Qlik Sense server
- Verify your connection
- Save your connection to load the metadata for the first time.
- Create a test report and preview
- If having issues connecting to multiple Qlik Sense servers, see Qlik NPrinting will not read Qlik Sense certificates
Notes regarding this feature:- Connecting additional Qlik Sense servers will have an impact on NPrinting server system resources. Ensure to carefully monitor NPrinting Server/NPrinting Engine RAM memory and CPU usage and increase each respectively as needed to ensure normal NPrinting server/engine system operation.
- You may only publish Qlik NPrinting reports only to a single Qlik Sense Hub. Ie: the QS hub defined in the NPrinting Web Console under 'Destinations\Hub' while logged on as an NPrinting administrator.
- Publishing to multiple Qlik Sense Hubs is not supported
The Qlik NPrinting server target folder for exported Qlik Sense certificates
"C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\Settings\SenseCertificates"
- Is retained when Qlik NPrinting is upgraded
- However, this folder is deleted when you uninstall Qlik NPrinting.
- Therefore you need to re-add the exported Qlik Sense certificate to this folder after installing NPrinting again
- Ensure that NO older Qlik Sense server certificates are kept in the Sense certificates folder nor in any sub-folders of this folder
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.

How to BackUp and Restore Qlik NPrinting Repository Database from End to End
! Note: Do NOT modify the NPrinting Database for any reason using PG Admin postres query or any other execution tools as this will damage your NPrin... Show More! Note: Do NOT modify the NPrinting Database for any reason using PG Admin postres query or any other execution tools as this will damage your NPrinting Deployment and prevent successful NPrinting Database backup and restore operations.
! Note: Do NOT restore an older version of an NPrinting Database to a New NPrinting server or restore a newer version of the NPrinting database to an older version of NPrinting Server.
Examples:
- NP 21.0.0.0 to NP 21.0.0.0 This is OK
- NP 20.29.7.0 to NP 20.39.6.0 NOT OK This will compromise your deployment of NPrinting
- NP 20.39.6.0 to NP 20.29.7.0 NOT OK This will compromise your deployment of NPrinting
These rules apply to general releases and service releases: The point version of the NPrinting Database being restored must match the point version of NPrinting Server being restored to (see Backup and restore Qlik NPrinting).
- How to Identify an incorrectly/unnecessarily restored database: Identify NPrinting Server restored with incorrect NPrinting database version
! Note: From NPrinting February 2020 and later versions, it is NOT necessary to enter a superuser database password
! Note: If you are making a backup for the Qlik Support team, please add the following NPrinting user information so that we can log onto the NPrinting Web Console following the local restore of the database (also ensure that NPrinting Authentication is enabled. Go to Admin > Settings > Authenticationuser: npadmin@qlik.com
password: npadmin@qlik.com
NP Role: Administrator
This procedure is meant to backup and restore (partial backup and restore of these individual items is not possible*):NP Web Console Items:
- NPrinting apps
- Tasks
- Connections
- Filters
- Schedules
- *Reports (can separately be exportable/importable however only and exclusively between identical versions of NPrinting. See Related Content section link below)
- Conditions and most settings applied to an existing system
NP Backup zip File Contents (do NOT open and modify the contents of this file):
- A dump of the NPrinting database repository
- All files used by report templates
- All files related to reports published on the NewsStand
- All files related to On Demand reports
- The backup file size can be 'roughly' estimated by enumerating the size of the folder "c:\programdata\nprinting\apps"
NOTE: Settings that are not backed up or restored are documented below.Resolution:
NOTE:
- Do not unzip the backup file (np_backup.zip), simply copy it to
c:\nprintingbackups
Before Proceeding: Please log on as the NPrinting service account used to run the NPrinting Web Engine and Scheduler services before proceeding
- The video below makes no mention of the Qlik NPrinting License Service which was included on newer versions. It also needs to be stopped as documented below.
- If restoring to a different NPrinting server environment, see step 7 below for additional consideration not covered in the video below.
1. Stop only the following Qlik NPrinting services (do NOT stop any other services)
Open the Windows Service Manager (services.msc), and stop the following services (by right-clicking them, and then clicking Stop). This will ensure any manual or scheduled NPrinting Publish Tasks are not executed during the backup or restore process:
- Qlik NPrinting Engine Service (NOTE: Stop all NP Engines connected to your NP server before proceeding)
- Qlik NPrinting Scheduler Service
- Qlik NPrinting WebEngine Service
2. Create a folder for the backup in:
C:\NPrintingBackups
3. Open Command prompt and change directory path
Do NOT modify any syntax or add any additional unnecessary spaces
Open the command prompt making sure to run cmd.exe as Administrator and change directory as follows:cd C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\Tools\Manager
4. Backup
Copy and paste the following backup syntax to the command prompt console. Replace superuserDBpassword with your password first used when installing NPrinting.
Qlik.Nprinting.Manager.exe backup -f C:\NPrintingBackups\NP_Backup.zip -p "C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\pgsql\bin" --pg-password YourSuperuserDBpasswordHere
or with Current Supported versions of NPrinting (no password required)
Qlik.Nprinting.Manager.exe backup -f C:\NPrintingBackups\NP_Backup.zip -p "C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\pgsql\bin"
5. RestoreCopy and paste the following backup syntax to the command prompt console. Replace superuserDBpassword with your password first used when installing NPrinting.Qlik.Nprinting.Manager.exe restore -f C:\NPrintingBackups\NP_Backup.zip -p "C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\pgsql\bin" --pg-password YourSuperuserDBpasswordHere
or with Current Supported versions of NPrinting (no password required)Qlik.Nprinting.Manager.exe restore -f C:\NPrintingBackups\NP_Backup.zip -p "C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\pgsql\bin"
Keep in mind: You may safely ignore any restore 'error' messages found in the nprinting_manager.log file as seen below.File C:\Users\domainuser\AppData\Local\Temp\2\nprintingrestore_20201203082300\files\xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx does not exist in the source backup package.
- These are references to NPrinting Apps/Connections/Reports that once existed and have been subsequently deleted from the NPrinting Web Console.
- For example, A report/connection/NP App may have been deemed retired, then manually deleted by a user with appropriate NP role permissions since it no longer served any specific purpose.
6. Start all NPrinting server services that were stopped earlier.
Restoring to a Different Environment! Note: If re-installing on existing or restoring to a different NPrinting server environment, ensure that the destination NPrinting server license is enabled/activated before restoring the NP database.
If restoring to a different NPrinting server environment (same NP database version as the NP server version that you have restored to),
Note that once the restore to the Target/Destination server is complete you will need to update the following applicable settings in the NP Web Console on the Target/destination server that the NP database has been restored to:
NPrinting Engine:
- Sept 2019 and earlier NPrinting versions: Update the NP Engine in the Engine Manager via the NPrinting Web Console. Add the name of the new NP Engine Computer name here and disable or delete the original NP Engine entry.
- November 2019 and later versions, you will need to follow the Resend Certificate section of the following article New Engine Certificate Installation Process and Resolving NP Engine Offline in order to resend the NPrinting Engine certificates
NP Connections:
- QlikView NP Connection paths if local QVW or QVP connection paths have changed
- Sense connections: if the Sense IDs, Proxy address and NP Identity (NP service account used on the target NP server) has changed at the time of the NP database restore
Qlik Sense Certificates (if using NPrinting Qlik Sense connections)
- April 2019 and earlier NPrinting versions: you will need to re-import the Qlik Sense certificates to the new NPrinting server
- If June 2019 and later NPrinting versions: you may simply copy the previously exported client.pfx file to the following folder and Restart all NPrinting server services
C:\Program Files\NPrintingServer\Settings\SenseCertificates

Other helpful information about the NP Backup and Restore tool and process:
- NPrinting Manual Backups creates (the following is also true for the programmatic backups performed during the NPrinting Upgrade process)
- a temp file and folder backup that uses up c:drive space
- This temp backup folder is removed once the manual backup is completed
- Note: The temp folder backup location cannot be modified
- NPrinting performs Three Automated Backups of the NPrinting Database during the upgrade process only. The c:\drive where NPrinting Server is installed must have sufficient space to allow the upgrade process to proceed without failure. The upgrade process creates:
- a pre-upgrade backup of the NP database (pre-upgrade backup of the NP Database)
- a post upgrade backup (upgraded version of the NP database).
- a temp file and folder backup (which is removed once the upgrade is completed)
- The pre and post upgrade backup files can be found here:
Note:The pre and post upgrade backup files are appended with the NP version number and backup dateC:\ProgramData\NPrinting
- Backup and restore log history is found here:
C:\ProgramData\nprinting\logs\nprinting_manager.log
- The automated NP backup contains the same file and folder structure as the manual NP backup process. (these files and folders must NOT be modified).
- The NP backup/restore tools and process cannot be used to backup and/or restore individual NPrinting reports.

How to raise a technical support case
Transcript
At Qlik, we want to help you succeed.
How we can best help you depends on the challenge you’re facing.
This video will explain what is covered by Qlik Support,
how the severity of a case is defined,
and how that affects the service license agreement.
At Qlik, we want to help you succeed.
How we can best help you depends on the challenge you’re facing.Qlik Support is an important part of Customer Success.
Our most successful customers are engaged along this entire journey
with our customer onboarding, Education and Professional services.To help clarify the difference between these offerings,
Qlik support is here there to help when your Qlik product is not performing as expected;
certainly with errors, task failures, or possible bug reports in a break – fix fashion.
And we will work with you to investigate performance degradation or latency issues.
Professional services are available in a more proactive way to offer best practices, upgrades and performance tuning
to help you get the most from your Qlik implementation.
Your environment and data is unique, and professional services can work with you to develop a strategy to be the most successful.Before creating a case with Qlik Support,
try to find a quick solution with the search tool on Qlik Community.
It searches across our Knowledge base, Qlik Help, and Qlik YouTube channels, and more all from one place.
If you can’t find the help you need in Qlik Community, you can raise a support case with us.
To help us understand the severity of the issue, here is how case severity is defined:
Severity one errors are when the software is inoperable,
or your production environment is inaccessible,
These will be worked 24 - 7 until service is restored.
Severity 2 issues can be a significant performance impact,
An issue that is preventing a future launch,
Or an error that has a temporary work around, but requires significant manual intervention.
Severity 3 issues are when data is delayed,
Results are not matching expectations,
Reporting defects,
Misleading or incomplete documentation,
Or general disruptions in production.Having an appropriate Severity set on the case is important because it directly results in how quickly the case will receive a response and the frequency of communication during the investigation of the case.
Especially with high severity cases, the severity is expected to change during the life of an investigation.
The initial response time of a Severity once case is directly within 30 minutes of completing the registry of the case.
After that, the support team member will follow up with you at-least every 4 hours or until access to the production environment has been restored
and the severity of the case can be lowered.
For severity 2 cases,
a first response will be made within the first 60 minutes of case creation, during normal business hours, Monday through Friday.
And follow-ups every 2 days after that.
For severity 3 cases, the initial response will be received within 4 hours, and weekly communication until the issue is resolved.For the best results with your support case,
set the appropriate severity,
Enter a meaningful and detailed description of the issue
Preemptively provide all the necessary logs and technical details,
and maintain effective activity on the case.I hope this has helped clarify some details of the Qlik Support policy, and demonstrate how Qlik Support is here to partner with your success.
Thanks for watching. -

Show MoreWhen working with Qlik Replicate, log.key file(s) are used for Decrypt Qlik Replicate Verbose Task Log Files , the log.key file can be re-created by restarting tasks, or restarting Replicate services if the log.key file is missed/deleted. However sometimes we need the file creation prior to the first time task run eg
(1) Set proper file protection manually by DBA
(2) Task movement among different environment eg UAT and PROD
(3) In rare cases the file auto-creation failed due to some reasons
This article provide some methods to generate file "log.key" manually.
Environment
- Qlik Replicate Version 2021.11 and later
Resolution
There are several methods to get a "log.key" file manually.
1. Copy an existing "log.key" file from UAT/TEST task folder;
It's better to make sure the "log.key" uniqueness, so below method (2) is recommended:
2. Run "openssl" command on Linux or Windows
openssl rand -base64 32 >> log.key
The command will return a 44-chars random unique string (the latest char is "=") in "log.key" file. For example

Here are the steps I followed below to create a QVD file which was then available in Catalog.
Steps
1. Upload the local csv dataset (or xlsx,etc) and analyze which will create an analytics app
2. Open up the app and navigate to "Data Load Editor"
3. Add a new section under the Auto-generated section (with the + symbol marked with a red arrow above. Note this section must run after the Auto-generated section or will error the data is not loaded.
Add the following statement:
