Migration from an old 2012R2 server with 11.2 SR6 to a brand new 2022 with QlikView Server 12.7 SR2

[NicoSack]

Hi everybody !

We plan to migrate our old server to a new one. Can i install the new one, install the 12.7 and convert the app files ? Or i should start to install the old version on the new server and upgrade it ? In this case, can i directly update the 11.2 SR6 to  12.7 SR2 ?

Thanky you by advance, have a nice day !

First step would be to review this article, it has information and links to explain this.

Hi @NicoSack,

In addition to @Maria_Halley's great point, be sure that you review the Release Notes for all the versions in between 11.20 SR6 and 12.70. 11.20 SR6 was released in April 2014, so QlikView has gone through quite a few changes since then.

Suggest that you upgrade a test environment first to ensure that your apps all work prior to upgrading your production environment.
