We have a Qlik Sense app for which we need to create quarterly snapshots to preserve data. We're doing this manually by creating a copy of the app, before reload for next quarter is done .
This was working so far, however there is a new requirement to implement on-demand nprinting in this app. nPrinting report template development is already completed, however whenever we trigger the ondemand printing from the archive app (i.e. copy of the app containing older data), the report generated is from the current app.
To remedy it, I created new nprinting connection pointing to archive app, under same nprinting app. I also changed connection inside on-demand extension of the archive app to the connection I just created. Now when I try to execute the report, although the max date coming up in nprint report matches the archive app data date, but I don't get any values for formulas, table, etc. All are zero.
One more thing I tried was, I exported out the nprinting report template. After which, I re-imported the template but I changed the connection to the newer nprinting connection (which I created above) in the import wizard. Now I configured the on-demand report in archive app to use the new connection and the new report. Now when I try to generate the nprinting report, it comes out perfect.
Does this mean to make this work whenever I take quarterly archive, I have to create new nprinting connection and copy of report template? Is there any easier way to do this?
Our work environment is Qlik NPrinting June 2020 SR1 and Qlik Sense Jun 2020 Patch 5
