NPrinting On Demand for Clustering Environment

[anag123456789]

Hi Everyone,

I am new to Qlik NPrinting and trying to configure the On-demand feature but with no Luck.

Qlikview Architecture I am having:
Server 1: Only Distribution service is Installed here.
Server 2: Apart from Distribution service all 4 services are installed here.
Server 3: Apart from Distribution and Management service all 3 services are installed here.
Server 4: This is a File Server. No services are installed here. It has all the Qlikview Dashboards.

I have Installed Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, Designer and On-Demand in Server2.

Now, I have few Questions here:

Q1: Under Admin>> Settings>> On-Demand Settings which Server should I add in Add Trusted Origin...??

Q2: Under Apps>> Connections which Server or Cluster Address I should Add...??
    I am not able to build the Connection.

Please help me on this..........??

Thanks in Advance.

Hi Bala,

As mentioned above, I've a clustering Environment.

Yes, I've installed Qlikview & NPrinting on same Server.

Hello Aviral,

First of all you should upgrade to at least the Nov. 2018 release of NPrinting. This is available from the Qlik Downloads site. Qlik the link > Customer Support

Second, you should not install NPrinting on any distributed node of any QlikView or Qlik Sense distributed environment.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2018/Content/DeployingQVNprinting/Supported-unsupporte...

Third, by following the instructions for configuration On Demand, your questions be managed here. These instructions are more comprensive than the 17.3.1 release help information.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2018/Content/On-Demand/Intro-On-Demand.htm

Fourth, to ensure cluster connection work, the rules must be followed as per the following:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2018/Content/DeployingQVNprinting/NPrinting-with-QlikV...

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/February2018/Content/GettingStarted/HowCreateConnections/Conne...

Finally, you must ensure that you have met the system requirements as well.

If you are unable to get the cluster connections working, try using Server connections for the time being in order to begin/continue working. (local connections will not work with On Demand).

Hi Frank,

Thanks for the sharing this wonderful post.

But still I haven't got the end result which I'm expecting.

I'm using a Test Server. I'm leasing License Prod Server to open Qlikview Dashboards in Test Server.

I've read somewhere that we can't Lease License from Test Server.

Q1: I want to know what settings to be made under on-demand Settings Add Trusted Origin.

Q2: How to build Server (qvp Connection) and Cluster Connection.

Qlikview Architecture I am having:

Server 1: Only Distribution service is Installed here.

Server 2: Apart from Distribution service all 4 services are installed here.

Server 3: Apart from Distribution and Management service all 3 services are installed here.

Server 4: This is a File Server. No services are installed here. It has all the Qlikview Dashboards.

Need your help to fix all the issues.......??
