Need Clarification on Qlikview Upgrade steps

[Jay587]

Hello All,

There are two scenarios which I need clarity to go with the upgrade and those are mentioned below.

Please help me on below queries.

1. Select the type of installation you want to perform:

   • Full installation, Single machine with QlikView Webserver: Used to run all components on a single machine with QlikView Web Server as web server.
   • Full installation, Single machine with Microsoft IIS: Used to run all components on a single machine with Microsoft IIS as web server. This option is only available if IIS is installed on the target machine.
   • Custom installation, select profiles: If this option is selected you select the profiles you want to be included in the installation from the Profiles section in the dialog:
   • QlikView Server: Installs QlikView Server, Directory Service Connector, and the QlikView Server example documents.
   • Reload/ Distribute Engine: Installs the Reload Engine and the QlikView Distribution Service.
   • Management Console: Installs the QlikView Management Service together with the QlikView Management Console (QMC).
   • Webserver: Installs the QlikView Web Server.

For the above point -I can see it in the server we are using both Qlikview webserver and IIS,Please let me know which one to choose for our environment ??

2.Select the Service Authentication method:

• Use digital certificates: Authenticate communication between QlikView servers using digital certificates and SSL/TSL. This alternative is recommended in environments where not all servers have access to a common Windows Active Directory or when the security provided by certificate authentication is required. Note that digital certificates are only supported by Windows Server 2008 R2 and later.
• Use QlikView Administrators Group: Authenticate communication between QlikView services based on membership in the local Windows group QlikViewAdministrators. This alternative can be used in environments where all servers that are part of the QlikView installation can authenticate using a common Windows Active Directory.

For the above point -service authentication which one to choose ??

Thanks.

Hi @Jay587,

For point 1, which are you currently using? To determine, check the QMC > System > About and look at the QVWS entries. If you have QlikView Web Server then you are using QlikView Web Server Service. If you have QlikView Settings Service then you are using IIS.

For point 2, which are you currently using? To determine, check the QMC > System > About and look at the QMS entry for Service authentication. If you have AD groups then you are using QlikView Administrators Group. If you have certificates then you are using digital certificates.

Best Regards
