Hi @Troy1
@Miguel_Angel_Baeyens has provided you with practically everything you need to know, I want to point our few things which you will find in those documents but they might be in various places and can be easily missed:
- you cannot assume you will just migrate - each and every report needs to be considered separately based on the solution it was using, like:
- output format (for example: csv from pixel perfect, html embedded from excel template etc.. -- not supported, but workarounds are possible)
- was the report html embedded (if it was, what was the original template format (maybe excel?))
- did you have users created with the same email (2 recipients sharing the same email)
- did you have some funny logic when using filters with (lock, select etc...)
- did you heavily used user filters (what filters - maybe bookmark filters)
- did you have qvw with unsupported objects like (macros, always one selected, alternate state, triggers (sheets, on open etc...). NP 16 was more forgiving when those were present, with NP19 it is big "no-no!!!"
- and many more....
What I want to say is that you need to be prepared and aware how things are working in NPrinting 19 vs NPrinting 16. So the first step is to go through documentation provided, (help.qlik.com, support articles, and Andrew's Playbook). This is just tip of the iceberg as those documents highlight the most important things. It may also happen that your reports are very simple and will practically migrate without issues - that is also possible, but it depends on how they are built.
now bottom line
I am not trying to scare you - I am trying to manage your expectations. Migration tool does great job - my comments on it here: https://nprintingadventures.com/2019/11/12/is-this-a-right-time-to-migrate-from-v16-to-v17-currently... still you need to know what you are doing.
On the positive side once you migrate I think you will be very happy with what you have. Much better product, much more robust with huge possibilities. Web based management console, API providing so much extra easy to implement solutions, and local client (designer).
If I were you I would first make sure I setup environment which is supported. There is a lot of requirements which must be met to have NPrinting 19 running properly. All of them are also listed on help.qlik.com. Once you have your environment up and running I would start migration from the simplest possible report. And would take it one step at the time.
And at the end we are here to help... most likely by pointing you to https://help.qlik.com links where everything is practically documented 🙂
cheers Lech, When applicable please mark the correct/appropriate replies as "solution" (you can mark up to 3 "solutions". Please LIKE threads if the provided solution is helpful to the problem.
