For May & June 2024, Connector Factory has released more connectors and new capabilities for data integration, data analytics and application automation.

 

Qlik Data Integration

Additional SaaS application connectors

We’re continuing to expand the connectivity of Qlik Cloud Data Integration with the addition of three more business applications that can now be used as a data source.  By eliminating the need for custom connectors to access these sources, Data Engineer productivity is increased and Data Consumer’s time to insight is decreased. The new connectors are for:

  1. Anaplan, which provides business planning software
  2. Oracle Fusion, a suite of applications built on Oracle Cloud
  3. Oracle Fusion Project Management, which is used to manage project deliveries.

 

Qlik Replicate

The May 2024 release of Qlik Replicate delivered a number of improvements related to connectivity with Snowflake, Databricks, SAP, AWS and Microsoft Azure.  You can find out more about these enhancement in this blog.

 

Qlik Data Analytics

Updated DynamoDB Connector

This connector has been updated to be based on ODBC instead of JBDC.  The Qlik DynamoDB connector now also supports authentication using AWS IAM credentials (access key & secret key) or a credentials file.  Note that the previous JDBC-based Qlik DynamoDB connector will continue to be supported until the end of July 2024.

Learn more about the DynamoDB connector.

 

New version of Direct Access gateway

The Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access allows Qlik Sense SaaS applications to securely access behind-the-firewall data, over a strictly outbound, encrypted, and mutually authenticated connection.

In May, we released Direct Access gateway 1.6.6 which introduced the following enhancements and new functionality:

  • Support for accessing ServiceNow via the Direct Access gateway
  • Support for Azure Active Directory authentication when using the Azure Synapse Analytics and Azure SQL Database Connectors.
  • Support for Azure OAuth authentication when using the Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure SQL Database and Databricks Connectors.
  • Support for OAuth authentication when using the Snowflake Connector
  • Support for SCRAM-SHA-256 and LDAP authentication when using the MongoDB Connector
  • Enhanced metadata paging when working with ODBC connectors
  • Additional logging to improved supportability

Qlik Application Automation

Sharing Automation Connections

Users can now create and manage automation connections in shared spaces.  You can find out more about this new capability in this blog.
