Qlikview Upgrade to May 2022 Version

[asr587]

Hi Guys,

We are planning to upgrade Qlikview to 12.70 version from 12.20 Version.

Please let me know how to upgrade and complete steps for the upgrade.

Thanks.

Hi @asr587 

We have some general documentation in our Help Site:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2022/Subsystems/Server/Content/QV_Server/QlikView-Server/QVS...

You would also need to consider any customizations and third party software in use to make sure it works in the new target version.

Hope it helps.

@asr587 that is a decent jump, be sure to spin up 12.70 in a test environment, and then thoroughly test all your dashboards and tasks to reduce surprises, and as Nadia mentioned, any config files you have customized will be overwritten back to their default values, so you will need to customize those files again...

Hello @NadiaB 

To your comments - "You would also need to consider any customizations and third party software in use to make sure it works in the new target version" , what is exactly mean by customizations and third party software ,could you please elaborate this.

Thanks

Hi @asr587 

There is no really an answer that can cover all the possibilities, but just to mention some: third party extensions, macros, Qlik API implementations, etc. 

The best option would be to upgrade your test environment and test all the functionality you have in use and verify everything is working as expected. 

Hope it helps.
