Qlik Upgrade from Nov 2022 to May 2023

[Naga_vivek]

Hi Team,

We are upgrading Qlik replicate and Qlik Enterprise manager .

So at the time of upgrade we are stopping all jobs and upgrading. once done we are restarting

Doubt

1.After the Upgrade is done do we need to restart the Qlik server or not to make sure the jobs are running 

2.After the Upgrade we can resume processing for all the jobs that we stopped before upgrade or do we need to reload the target for all the jobs.

Most of the jobs uses Microsoft SQL server end point type.

Please let us know the above scenarios in details and let u know any feedback

Thanks

Hello @Naga_vivek 

The First step you need to do when upgrading is to stop the Replicate services, so after the upgrade you need to start the Replicate services. 

You can resume the task after upgrade, there is no need to reload the task.

Please refer the below link for best practices.

Hi @Naga_vivek 

In addition to the previous reply:

If the tasks stopped normally, you can simply resume the tasks after the upgrade. If any of the tasks timed out while stopping (would be indicated on screen and in the repsrv.log: Task 'Task Name' stop timeout occurred. The task will be terminated), start the task by timestamp taking any latency plus a buffer for long running transactions into account when determining the start time. Some duplicate record warnings/errors may be encountered if there is any overlap from where the task stopped reading the source.

For a simple upgrade I can't think of a use case where it is necessary to reload the target tables.

Hope this helps!
