The following release notes cover the versions of Qlik NPrinting released in February 2024 Service Release 2.
Jira issue ID: OP-96006
Qlik Sense May 2024 is supported.
Jira issue ID: OP-96011
QlikView May 2024 is supported.
Jira issue ID: QV-25303
Installation of the On-Demand add-on on a QlikView May 2024 (12.90) with IIS as the web server failed.
Jira issue ID: OP-96014
Reports generated in HTML format from Microsoft Word templates resulted in a compressed file containing only font and image files. This issue affected only Qlik NPrinting February 2024 Initial Release (IR) and Service Release 1 (SR1). Other template types and Word outputs were generated correctly.
Jira issue ID: OP-95990
Japanese error messages when resetting the password have been improved and are now easier to be understand.
Jira issue ID: OP-95997
When a table tag was utilized with the Keep Source Formats property set to true, the column widths match those of the cell containing the table tag, rather than the widths of the source table's columns.
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it lists all known major issues and limitations. We expect to have these issues fixed in future versions.
The following languages are supported:
Other languages are not officially supported. There may be issues with other languages, particularly those with right-to-left script and non-Roman alphabets.
Qlik Sense custom size sheets are not supported. Custom size will not be maintained on export.
Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Jira issue ID: OP-6196
Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, and Designer can only be installed on C: drives. Any attempt to install them on a different drive will result in task failures.
Jira issue ID: OP-5831
When you add the same object twice, using the Images node in Qlik NPrinting Designer, only the image size property of the first image is respected.
It is possible to select the “Enable” check box in On-Demand for reports using Qlik Sense app data. These reports are visible in the QlikView On-Demand menu of the QlikView On-Demand add-on. But if selected, they will not generate reports, and you will see an error message.
If you experience random crashes when using Qlik NPrinting Designer, open your Windows Display Settings in the Control Panel and verify that Smaller – 100% (default) is selected. When settings of 125% or 150% are selected, Qlik NPrinting Designer may crash.
Jira issue ID: OP-5908
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the “origin” HTTP header is not generated. This results in the error message “REVEL_CSRF: tokens mismatch”.
The workaround is to install Qlik NPrinting On-Demand on a Microsoft IIS server hosting QlikView Access point or use a different web browser.
Jira issue ID: OP-4940
Qlik NPrinting Designer may be unable to open a report template if there are too many filters associated with a connection in the report's app. The following error message displays: “A task was canceled”.
This typically happens when more than 4000 filters are using fields from a connection. Sometimes, higher numbers can work. For example, 7000 filters have worked in some situations.
The workaround is:
1. Split the Qlik NPrinting app into separate apps.
2. Split the connections (possibly by using multiple connections to the same documents in different apps).
3. Split the filters across apps (so that the filter count per app is lower).
Jira issue ID: OP-4839
Some Qlik NPrinting tasks fail with the error message: “Exceeded maximum number of retries”. This is due to a performance issue in QlikView that appears when it exports large unfiltered files to Excel.
Jira issue ID: OP-5278
In some rare circumstances, pressing the Verify connection button will cause the screen to freeze on the “Initializing…” status and the spinning wheel cursor. This happens when a Qlik NPrinting Engine goes offline and Verify connection is pressed before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler is aware that it is offline. It can take up to 20 seconds before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler determines the offline status of a Qlik NPrinting Engine.
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:
The filters associated with each user are not uploaded, or displayed, for performance reasons. Waiting for all filters for thousands of users to import would take a long time. In most cases, importing this information is unnecessary, because filters created for users often contain something like the user IDs. You can change this behavior and make all filters visible by uncommenting the line <!--<add key="include-user-filters" />--> in the webengine.config file.
To make a specific filter visible in the lists, remove its association to all users, or create a new filter with the same fields and values not linked to any user.
Jira issue ID: OP-3986
The rollback that follows a Qlik NPrinting Server or Engine upgrade cancellation may corrupt the related Qlik NPrinting installation. A rollback is triggered by errors or by clicking the cancel button during the upgrade execution. After a corruption caused by a rollback, services may be uninstalled or cannot be started.
To restore a Qlik NPrinting Server to its original status:
You should always create a backup before starting an update. In any case, a backup is automatically created in the folder "%ProgramData%\NPrinting" at the beginning of the upgrade process. To restore a Qlik NPrinting Engine to original status:
Jira issue ID: OP-7560
Add title functionality is not supported on Qlik Sense objects with Assistance mode enabled. The workaround to restore the Add title functionality is to disable Assistance mode for the chart in Qlik Sense. Then reload the metadata of the connection.
Jira issue ID: OP-7568
Qlik Sense objects made in Assistance mode cannot be used as tables, columns, or cells in Qlik NPrinting. To restore them, disable Assistance mode on the chart in Qlik Sense; then reload the metadata of the connection. Furthermore, if a Qlik Sense object made with Assistance mode is exported as a table, column, or cell using Qlik NPrinting APIs, the request will fail.
Jira issue ID: OP-7165
Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported in PixelPerfect templates. Generated reports will use a different font, and not look as expected.
Jira issue ID: OP-7747
The following functionalities are not supported for Qlik Sense tables that have a "Show column if" condition set on one or more of their columns: levels, single column export, and keep source formats.
Jira issue ID: OP-8382
Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections applied on calculated dimensions will fail. However, you can apply selections on dimensions based on Qlik Sense fields. The workaround is to move the formula to the load script and use the calculated fields to apply selections to your On-Demand reports.
Jira issue ID: OP-8985
Due to the internal way of exporting Qlik Sense histograms, you cannot add them to the Qlik NPrinting Designer Tables node. If you add a Qlik Sense histogram to the Tables node, you will not receive any errors or warning messages, but the exported data will be wrong.
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:
Jira issue ID: OP-9087
You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause a Qlik NPrinting Designer crash. The workarounds are to insert the Excel worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer:
Jira issue ID: OP-9067
Dynamic views is a new Qlik Sense feature starting from June 2020.
If you connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app that contains a chart used to generate dynamic views, the chart and the containing sheet are excluded from the Qlik NPrinting connection cache and cannot be used in reports.
You can connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app containing dynamic views. However, after a dynamic view refresh, the connection will stop working.
Jira issue ID: OP-9628
Starting from November 2020, RabbitMQ Server (deployed as Qlik NPrinting Messaging Service) has been updated to version 3.8.3. It has an internal limit, not configurable, about messages size of 512MB. Previous limit was 2GB. As consequence, is not possible to generate Qlik NPrinting reports bigger than 512MB.
Jira issue ID: OP-9766
Excel worksheet print areas can contain more than one range if the generation of the report does not expand the print area. If it expands, you will see an error: “Invalid Cell Name”. For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.
Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.
Jira issue ID: OP-95599
If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.
Jira issue ID: OP-95682
QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.
Jira issue ID: OP-95797
Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.
To upgrade to Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR2, you must start from one of the following versions:
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than April 2018, you must upgrade to Qlik NPrinting April 2018 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR2.
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than 17.3, you must first upgrade to Qlik NPrinting 17.3. Then you
must upgrade to a version from April 2018 to May 2021 SR4 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May
2023 SR3.
If you are upgrading from a version older than February 2018, all metadata caches (QlikView and Qlik Sense) will be marked as "not generated". This is due to a breaking change in the format of the metadata cache. All connection caches must be regenerated before you can edit a template or create a new connection.
You must back up your data before you proceed. Data can become damaged if a problem occurs during the
upgrade. If data is damaged, a backup is required to restore the repository. See: Backup and restore of a repository.
After backup, you must follow the instructions for upgrading on the help site page Qlik NPrinting upgrade.
If you are upgrading to February 2024 SR2 from September 2018 SR2 or older you must:
• Open port 4997 outbound on Qlik NPrinting Server and inbound on all Qlik NPrinting Engines.
• Reinstall all your Qlik NPrinting Engines and provide a password for certificate exchange.
• Open the Engine manager in the Web Console.
• Open the detail page for each Engine and send the certificate after inserting the same password you used during the engine’s reinstallation.
Qlik NPrinting Engines stay offline until the certificate exchange is performed. Older Engine versions cannot connect to a Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR2 Server.

Limitations
If you are running Qlik NPrinting with QlikView, there is a Compatibility issue:
Installing On-Demand Add-on on a Microsoft IIS hosted QlikView AccessPoint will require the following minimum version for NPrinting on-demand installer
If a standard Upgrade is done, new certificates will be created using the AES 256
GCM mode as part of the upgrade.
Instructions for upgrading QlikView with new certificates mode (GCM) – Before implementing this, TLS 1.2 has to be enabled for QVS to work normally.
Perform the upgrade on all machines in the cluster.
After completion, the installer will ask you to restart the machine/s.
After restart and services are running, stop all the services and open "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service\QVManagementService.exe.config" and apply the following config:
<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>
If Services are clustered, all the cluster nodes also need the new certificate.
Add into resp config files for each (one on each node):
<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>
or
InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey=1 if QVS.
Start the QMS first and then rest of all services
In the QMC, go to the service’s System/setup, for example if QDS select the node and distribute the new certificates to QDS machine with Apply in setup and follow the popup instructions. Do this for one service om each node to distribute new certs mode. Stop QMS again and all services. Make above configuration false in all config/settings files
"<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="false"></add>".
Start all services. All machines in the cluster shall now have the new certs mode.
If you for some reason need to downgrade to the previous version again, follow this
Support Article to re-generate certificates using the old encryption algorithm.

What's new in Qlik Sense May 2024 (Administrators)
Data and platform
Preload apps functionality
Available now in Qlik Sense is the ability for customers to configure and schedule the preloading of apps! This has been a highly requested feature and rightfully so, customers can improve their end-users experience by making datasets nearly immediately available within an application (especially useful for larger apps) upon utilizing the preload functionality.
To make the management of these tasks intuitive and seamless, within the Qlik Management Console you will now find new Support options for the following: Preload Tasks: Create, Edit & Delete.
Support LOAD and STORE of Parquet files with nested data
Qlik associative engine now includes support for loading and storing to nested fields with a parquet file. This support is available when loading and string data using Qlik Sense and the script editor.
Visualizations and dashboards
Background color opacity
The color picker gets an opacity control! By adding this feature, we are making it easier to adjust the transparency of the color with the new addition and option to utilize slider functionality. Here are some use cases that you may find this feature very useful:
For those of you who will stick to hex codes, don’t worry – we made that easier too! Moving forward, you’ll be able to paste your codes with or without the “#” symbol.
Button enhancements
The following navigation enhancement has been added to the Button: “Go to Sheet: specify chart”.
Check out some of the bulleted use cases below where this will come in handy:
The button also gets a new setting so expressions can be evaluated in runtime. This allows for values set in an action to be carried forward to future actions in the chain.
Table improvements
We continue to improve on the new Straight table and Pivot table because they are not only classics, but they’re also favorites!
Straight Table:
Pivot Table:
And finally, you now have the options to display values as clickable links within dimension columns, for both the Straight table and the Pivot table!
Sheet navigation buttons moved
When hiding the sheet title, the sheet navigation buttons will be available in the selection bar instead of being hidden.
Connectors
SAP ODP connector
Qlik Sense provides multiple methods of capturing data from your SAP system. This release enhances existing capture methods with support for SAP ODP. The ODP connector provides connectivity to the SAP ODP framework, enabling data capture from multiple types of data artifacts such as Extractors, CDS views, BW objects, and SAP HANA Information views.
Key | Title | Description |
QB-27352 | Qlik sense Visualizations: Selection popup and bar is blank when using getGlobal method in a mashup | Fixed a problem where listboxes within mashups could stop working. This problem occurred specifically for mashups created using the Capability API and calling the qlik.getGlobal function. |
QB-27108 | Visualizations: Exporting object with styling fails | Fixed a problem where exporting any object with shadow values as an image would fail. This was solved by disabling chart shadows on server printing. |
QB-25016 | Qlik Sense: Issue with display scaling on Qlik Sense on Windows February 2024 | Fixed a problem with scaling present on high DPI monitors. |
Key | Title | Description |
QB-26558 | Qlik Engine: Connector performance reload issues in Qlik Sense February 2024 | The Select Statement Lineage for Sense Server has been disabled as it served no purpose in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. This was causing issues with some connectors by making irrelevant calls in Sense Server. |
QB-26840 | Qlik Sense Engine: The <CreatorDoc> tag is empty in QVDs created with Qlik Sense February 2024 | Fixed a problem where the <CreatorDoc> tag in the metadata of QVD files created with Qlik Sense February 2024 was empty, instead of showing the app ID that generated the QVD. <CreatorDoc> tags are now written from the STORE statement, even if the format spec is omitted. |
Key | Title | Description |
QB-25871 | Qlik Engine: Cannot reference iterator value using $() in chart script | In a chart script, the iterator in a "For… Next" loop could not be used in a dollar expansion expression. This has now been fixed. |
QB-26613 | Qlik Engine: Dimension created with Aggr function does not fully support selection | Fixed an issue that would cause some apps to have a limited ability to make selections in a dimension created using the Aggr function. |
Key |

Description |
QB-21161 | SSL setting changed after Qlik Sense upgrade | Fixed an issue where the 'Ssl Mode' setting in the repository config file changed to a blank value during an upgrade to the May 2023 version of Qlik Sense. |
QB-21455 | Qlik Sense Hub: Favorites icon visible in anonymous sessions | We have removed the Favorite icon for anonymous sessions. |
QB-22171 | REST Connector: Slow when importing large files | We have made performance improvements of file import with the REST connector for cases where a table contains a large number of columns. |
QB-22519 | Qlik Sense Engine: Inner set expression issue when outer set expression is present | Fixed an issue that caused the miscalculation of inner set expressions when outer set expressions were present. To apply this fix, users must add the line "AdHocFieldIgnoreOuterSetField=1" to the settings.ini file. For information on how to edit the file, see How to modify Qlik Sense Engine settings.ini. |
QB-22955 | Visualizations: Incorrect filter values in duplicate app | When building mashups using multiple apps, there was a risk for filters, and in some cases charts, to interfere with each other if they shared the same ID. This typically happened if the apps were duplicates of each other or if they shared the same data structure. This has now been fixed. |
QB-23689 | Google BigQuery Connector: Preserve the original future timestamp | This release addresses the discrepancy in timestamp conversion from the Google BigQuery connector. The fix ensures that timestamp fields containing future values are accurately represented within Qlik Sense, preserving the original future timestamp without unintended conversion. |
QB-23878 | Restriction of 'About' Service APIs | The APIs connecting to the ‘About’ Service have been revised and restricted for on-premises deployments of Qlik Sense. |
QB-23879 | Restriction of 'About' Service APIs | The APIs connecting to the ‘About’ Service have been revised and restricted for on-premises deployments of Qlik Sense. |
QB-23975 | Qlik NL Insights: Incorrect Dutch translation | NL Insights for "top dimensions" have been updated to the correct translation in Dutch. |
QB-23999 | Connectors: Fix reading of empty columns in BulkReader mode for Oracle | Queries with an empty column like "SELECT DepartmentID, '' as FakeColumn FROM AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department;" failed for Oracle driver in Bulk Reader mode. The reason was that such columns were detected as zero column size. To fix this issue, we have extended the list of char types that override zero column size value with the default value. |
QB-24347 | Qlik Sense Hub: Streams not visible | Some streams were not visible when custom banner was enabled. We have made some layout changes to fix this issue. |
QB-24350 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: No longer possible to select several areas of the map at the same time | Clicking on one element of a slightly off-screen map would focus on the selection and confirmed it directly. This has been fixed and the map allows multiple selections. |
QB-24368 | Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix | Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used. |
QB-24411 | Visualizations: Expression for legend label in distribution plot not evaluated | Using an expression for a legend label wasn't evaluated in a distribution plot. For this fix to take effect, the user will need to reapply the properties for the visualization to pick up the change. |
QB-24430 | Qlik Data Prep: Uploaded data not converted to date format automatically | Fixed a problem where the Data manager did not provide the correct date format in the script for auto concat scenario. |
QB-24440 | Qlik Sense: EngineHealth function in QMC stops working when TimeZone is UTC | Fixed a problem where the engine timestamp did not include a timezone offset, presenting only a "Z" instead of the expected "+0000", leading to a failure in converting the timestamp into a readable format. This update addresses a critical issue where the EngineHealth function would cease to operate correctly when the system TimeZone was set to UTC. We have enhanced the functionality within the QMC to ensure robust and accurate parsing of date-time strings across various time zone formats. |
QB-24441 | Qlik NL Insights: NL Insights not working on mashups on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows | Fixed a problem where NL Insights considered extensions as virtual proxy prefixes, causing the request to use the wrong URL. |
QB-24469 | Engine: Loading data from SSE plugins causes an error if no rows are loaded | Resolved an issue where engine did not build a data table if no rows where loaded via a SSE plugin. |
QB-24503 | Qlik Connectors: Authentication issue with Qlik ODATA connector | Fixed an authentication problem by adding a new authentication type option: BasicPreEpmtive. |
QB-24504 | Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Unselected bars are grey on Barchart | If a type "S" hypercube has SET expressions in the measures, and a dimension is colored by another dimension, then a selection that impacts the coloring expression but not the actual dimension being colored, could cause grey colors in the chart. This was caused by the expansion of the SET expression. With this fix, the coloring dimensions are also expanded by the SET expression, getting values for all rows of the hypercube. |
QB-24577 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Treemap chart color doesn't apply defined custom theme after upgrade | After upgrading to QS May 2023 patch 9, the custom theme was not applied to the treemap. This has been solved, and in cases where the color scheme does not exist, it will fall back to default. |
QB-24624 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Wrong scroll position | Fixes an issue in the combo chart where the initial scroll position could be incorrect when combined with selection sheet actions. |
QB-24625 | Qlik Sense Engine: Access to hidden values possible through Set Analysis on dimension | Fixed a problem where the Section Access value subset was not correctly applied to fields-on-the-fly based on a single key field. This resulted in all key values being visible on the field on the fly, even if Section Access restricted the source key field. |
QB-24656 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Pivot table drag dimension to column fails | Dragging dimensions to columns failed if disabled dimensions were present. This has been fixed and dragging dimensions in a pivot table now sorts correctly. |
QB-24709 | Incorrect translations for 'Copy\Paste style' in Swedish and German languages | Corrected Swedish and German translations for 'Copy style' and 'Paste style' in the context menu for a visualization. |
QB-24802 | Qlik Sense Mobile: All filter option is not displayed on iOS device | Fixed a problem where zoom on text entry was not reset, resulting in missing filter options. |
QB-24906 | Qlik Engine: Issues with field name when storing Parquet files | Fixed an issue with field names containing a "." character when storing Parquet files. |
QB-24911 | Visualizations: Some lines disappear when scrolling line charts | Fixed a problem where, for certain datasets, two-dimensional line charts sometimes failed to show all lines when scrolling. |
QB-24943 | Visualizations: Map chart label coloring not functional through exploration menu | Fixed a problem that caused changes to the base map and language setting when changing the label coloring for map charts in the exploration menu. |
QB-24944 | Visualizations: Qlik.Resize() not working in mashups | Fixed a problem where Qlik.Resize() was not working in mashups. Chart rendering on resize is now triggered when the chart starts with zero size. |
QB-24957 | Connectors: REST connector does not return response headers | Resolved an issue where the REST connector failed to retrieve response headers when there was no response body present. |
QB-25034 | Visualizations: Sheets with tables have incomplete or blank data | Fixed an issue that would cause some apps to show incomplete or blank data in some visualizations after selection operations, or in some cases, on the first rendering. |
QB-25045 | Qlik Sense Licensing: Cannot set offline license in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024 | Fixed a problem that would throw an error when using offline license. |
QB-25055 | Visualizations: Calculation condition does not work correctly | The name of the calculated item was not displayed when the condition was not met. This has been fixed and the labels for dimension expressions are shown instead of showing an error text. |
QB-25080 | Engine: WHERE statement fails with Parquet files | Fixed an issue where WHERE statements failed with Parquet files if the filter field was not part of the loaded fields. |
QB-25165 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unable to add data connection throwing error 404 | Resolved a degrade issue that made it impossible to create connections when using virtual proxy prefixes. |
QB-25217 | Qlik Data Prep: Limited field of view in the Add Data dialog in Data Manager on Chrome and Edge | When selecting a source data file, the preview window was limited to only showing one row. This has been solved by fixing a rendering problem in the Add Data Dialog on the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions. |
QB-25238 | Qlik Data Prep: Unable to see scrollbar for selecting file locations | Fixed a rendering issue in the Data Manager Add Data dialog that affected the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions. |
QB-25245 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Issues with filter panes in mashups | Fixed a problem where scrollbars disappeared and filter panes moved when a popover opened. The new Listbox used a feature to prevent scrolling. This has been disabled to prevent "jumping" behavior on Windows when a popover opens. |
QB-25258 | Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix | Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used. |
QB-25362 | Unable to rearrange sheets in touch screen mode | Fixed an issue with drag-and-drop reordering of sheets in touch mode. |
QB-25384 | Qlik Cloud Data Prep: Error in expressions with label name | Fixed a validation issue in the expression editor when using labels. This ensures that the expression editor is aware of existing labels when performing a validation. |
QB-25504 | Qlik Sense Hub: Last row of apps not fully visible on Chrome/Edge | The last row of apps was not completely visible on Chrome/Edge if there was a banner message enabled. We have made a few changes to the layout to fix this issue. |
QB-25526 | Error "invalid parameters" when changing tab to a Table within container | When changing the selected tab to a Table visualization within a container, an engine error called "invalid parameters" could sometimes occur. This error occurs in sheet edit mode. The issue has been fixed by ensuring the correct parameters are sent to the engine, preventing the error from occurring. |
QB-25640 | Visualizations: Distribution plot limitation | The message "Currently showing limited dataset" for distribution plots is now also shown when you're exactly on the limit. |
QB-25644 | Qlik Cloud Engine: Fields on the fly can lead to hanging errors when loading a sheet | Fixed a problem where fields on the fly introduced a recursive dependency when the state was being evaluated. |
QB-25673 | Qlik Sense: Error-128 shows when opening app | Fixed an internal error that would sometimes cause an error message with the code 128 to be shown when an app was opened and a bookmark applied on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. |
QB-25677 | Databricks connector: OAuth authentication problem related to character length of connection string | Fixed an issue that caused errors in authenticating a Databricks connection via Azure OAuth. The problem was caused by a change in the character length of the connection string. The issue has been fixed by excluding OAuth tokens from connection string length validation, and additionally by providing these tokens with their own length limit of 16kb. |
QB-25804 | Qlik Sense: Fonts not loading in external Mashups | Fixed a problem where binary fonts were not loading on externally hosted mashups. These fonts are now loaded with authentication headers injected in the request when loaded from a cross-domain mashup using Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. |
QB-25827 | Variable description was not shown on separate row | An issue in the variable editor interface in which the variable's description was not separated from the variable name with a line break. The issue is fixed and the variable description is moved to a separate row in the cell. |
QB-25897 | Link to helpsite missing in topbar menu | Restored the Help link to the Qlik helpsite in the action menu (...) on the navigation bar. |
QB-26048 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Scroll bar missing from Selections tool | Fixed a problem where the scroll bar was not properly displayed in the Selections tool, making it hard to see all values in the list box. |
QB-26125 | Qlik Sense Engine: File lock applied when saving reloaded apps on NetApp file share | Fixed a problem with the degradation of a third-party driver that would cause the Qlik Engine to be unable to take file lock when applying changes to the App. This problem only occurred when using Qlik Sense with NetApp SMB file share. |
QB-26190 | Qlik Sense Engine: Section Access issues after upgrade to Qlik Sense February 2024 | After the February 2024 upgrade, Section Access with dynamic data reduction would fail in some cases. When reduction fields were using numerical values, it would sometimes cause the data reload to fail. This has been fixed. |
QB-26249 | Visualizations: Fully expanded chart exploration panel causes a page break | Fixed a problem where the chart exploration panel would fully expand and cause a page break instead of being sized to the table. This was fixed by restricting the chart exploration to the bounds of the chart. |
SHEND-1828 | Qlik Sense: Updated Node.js | Qlik Sense May 2024 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches |
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.

QB-25674
|
Visualizations: Collapsed filterpane not synched with selections |
Resolved an issue where a collapsed filterpane bar did not show the correct selection after selections were removed. |
QB-25615
|
GeoOperations wizard does not quote field names with special characters |
When generating the field name select statement for generated scripts, GeoOperations did not put field names in square brackets when needed, causing the operation to possibly fail when executed. This has now been resolved. |
QB-25161
|
User licenses: Entitlement migration during IdP transitions |
Resolved an issue with the migration of existing entitlements in the context of changing Identity Providers (IdPs). |
QB-25677 |
Databricks connector: OAuth authentication problem related to character length of connection string |
Fixed an issue that caused errors in authenticating a Databricks connection via Azure OAuth. The problem was caused by a change in the character length of the connection string. The issue has been fixed by excluding OAuth tokens from connection string length validation, and additionally by providing these tokens with their own length limit of 16kb. |
QB-26444
|
Qlik Cloud: User locale settings ignored when creating app |
Fixed a problem where "Regional settings for creating apps and scripts" set by the user were ignored if the app or script was created on the new home page. |
QB-26386 |
Reporting: Unexpected results when filtering a specific dimension |
Fixed a problem on reporting filters when setting 0 s the value, which was considered as no value. The fix will be automatically applied to new filters. These may have to be re-created for the fix to apply to existing filters. |
QB-26249 |
Visualizations: Fully expanded chart exploration panel causes a page break |
Fixed a problem where the chart exploration panel would fully expand and cause a page break instead of being sized to the table. This was fixed by restricting the chart exploration to the bounds of the chart. |
QB-26191 |
Qlik Application Automation: Breaking change in API key, Baisc Authentication, and OAuth2 |
Unintended breaking changes were introduced with the April 9th, 2024 deployment of new and updated QAA connectors to API Key, Basic Authentication, and OAuth2. These issues have now been resolved. |

Jira issue ID: OP-95964
Improved the handling of cross-origin resources by enhancing URL validation.
Jira issue ID: OP-95973
Users’ import tasks were randomly completed incorrectly when audit trail was active.
Jira issue ID: OP-95952
If an object filter was incompatible with other filters (report, task or user) applied to the same report, the generation process could fail, resulting in an error. Alternatively, the report might display the object ID tag instead of an empty space. May 2022 was unaffected.
Jira issue ID: OP-95954
PDF reports generated from PowerPoint templates aligned charts wrongly. Only Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR1, SR2 and SR3 were affected.
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it lists all known major issues and limitations. We expect to have these issues fixed in future versions.
The following languages are supported:
Other languages are not officially supported. There may be issues with other languages, particularly those with right-to-left script and non-Roman alphabets.
Qlik Sense custom size sheets are not supported. Custom size will not be maintained on export.
Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Jira issue ID: OP-6196
Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, and Designer can only be installed on C: drives. Any attempt to install them on a different drive will result in task failures.
Jira issue ID: OP-5831
When you add the same object twice, using the Images node in Qlik NPrinting Designer, only the image size property of the first image is respected.
It is possible to select the “Enable” check box in On-Demand for reports using Qlik Sense app data. These reports are visible in the QlikView On-Demand menu of the QlikView On-Demand add-on. But if selected, they will not generate reports, and you will see an error message.
If you experience random crashes when using Qlik NPrinting Designer, open your Windows Display Settings in the Control Panel and verify that Smaller – 100% (default) is selected. When settings of 125% or 150% are selected, Qlik NPrinting Designer may crash.
Jira issue ID: OP-5908
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the “origin” HTTP header is not generated. This results in the error message “REVEL_CSRF: tokens mismatch”.
The workaround is to install Qlik NPrinting On-Demand on a Microsoft IIS server hosting QlikView Access point or use a different web browser.
Jira issue ID: OP-4940
Qlik NPrinting Designer may be unable to open a report template if there are too many filters associated with a connection in the report's app. The following error message displays: “A task was canceled”.
This typically happens when more than 4000 filters are using fields from a connection. Sometimes, higher numbers can work. For example, 7000 filters have worked in some situations.
The workaround is:
1. Split the Qlik NPrinting app into separate apps.
2. Split the connections (possibly by using multiple connections to the same documents in different apps).
3. Split the filters across apps (so that the filter count per app is lower).
Jira issue ID: OP-4839
Some Qlik NPrinting tasks fail with the error message: “Exceeded maximum number of retries”. This is due to a performance issue in QlikView that appears when it exports large unfiltered files to Excel.
Jira issue ID: OP-5278
In some rare circumstances, pressing the Verify connection button will cause the screen to freeze on the “Initializing…” status and the spinning wheel cursor. This happens when a Qlik NPrinting Engine goes offline and Verify connection is pressed before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler is aware that it is offline. It can take up to 20 seconds before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler determines the offline status of a Qlik NPrinting Engine.
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:
The filters associated with each user are not uploaded, or displayed, for performance reasons. Waiting for all filters for thousands of users to import would take a long time. In most cases, importing this information is unnecessary, because filters created for users often contain something like the user IDs. You can change this behavior and make all filters visible by uncommenting the line <!--<add key="include-user-filters" />--> in the webengine.config file.
To make a specific filter visible in the lists, remove its association to all users, or create a new filter with the same fields and values not linked to any user.
Jira issue ID: OP-3986
The rollback that follows a Qlik NPrinting Server or Engine upgrade cancellation may corrupt the related Qlik NPrinting installation. A rollback is triggered by errors or by clicking the cancel button during the upgrade execution. After a corruption caused by a rollback, services may be uninstalled or cannot be started.
To restore a Qlik NPrinting Server to its original status:
You should always create a backup before starting an update. In any case, a backup is automatically created in the folder "%ProgramData%\NPrinting" at the beginning of the upgrade process. To restore a Qlik NPrinting Engine to original status:
Jira issue ID: OP-7560
Add title functionality is not supported on Qlik Sense objects with Assistance mode enabled. The workaround to restore the Add title functionality is to disable Assistance mode for the chart in Qlik Sense. Then reload the metadata of the connection.
Jira issue ID: OP-7568
Qlik Sense objects made in Assistance mode cannot be used as tables, columns, or cells in Qlik NPrinting. To restore them, disable Assistance mode on the chart in Qlik Sense; then reload the metadata of the connection. Furthermore, if a Qlik Sense object made with Assistance mode is exported as a table, column, or cell using Qlik NPrinting APIs, the request will fail.
Jira issue ID: OP-7165
Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported in PixelPerfect templates. Generated reports will use a different font, and not look as expected.
Jira issue ID: OP-7747
The following functionalities are not supported for Qlik Sense tables that have a "Show column if" condition set on one or more of their columns: levels, single column export, and keep source formats.
Jira issue ID: OP-8382
Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections applied on calculated dimensions will fail. However, you can apply selections on dimensions based on Qlik Sense fields. The workaround is to move the formula to the load script and use the calculated fields to apply selections to your On-Demand reports.
Jira issue ID: OP-8985
Due to the internal way of exporting Qlik Sense histograms, you cannot add them to the Qlik NPrinting Designer Tables node. If you add a Qlik Sense histogram to the Tables node, you will not receive any errors or warning messages, but the exported data will be wrong.
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:
Jira issue ID: OP-9087
You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause a Qlik NPrinting Designer crash. The workarounds are to insert the Excel worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer:
Jira issue ID: OP-9067
Dynamic views is a new Qlik Sense feature starting from June 2020.
If you connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app that contains a chart used to generate dynamic views, the chart and the containing sheet are excluded from the Qlik NPrinting connection cache and cannot be used in reports.
You can connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app containing dynamic views. However, after a dynamic view refresh, the connection will stop working.
Jira issue ID: OP-9628
Starting from November 2020, RabbitMQ Server (deployed as Qlik NPrinting Messaging Service) has been updated to version 3.8.3. It has an internal limit, not configurable, about messages size of 512MB. Previous limit was 2GB. As consequence, is not possible to generate Qlik NPrinting reports bigger than 512MB.
Jira issue ID: OP-9766
Excel worksheet print areas can contain more than one range if the generation of the report does not expand the print area. If it expands, you will see an error: “Invalid Cell Name”. For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.
Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.
Jira issue ID: OP-95599
If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.
Jira issue ID: OP-95682
QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.
Jira issue ID: OP-95797
Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.
To upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR4, you must start from one of the following versions:
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than April 2018, you must upgrade to Qlik NPrinting April 2018 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR4.
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than 17.3, you must first upgrade to Qlik NPrinting 17.3. Then you
must upgrade to a version from April 2018 to May 2021 SR4 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May
2023 SR4.
If you are upgrading from a version older than February 2018, all metadata caches (QlikView and Qlik Sense) will be marked as "not generated". This is due to a breaking change in the format of the metadata cache. All connection caches must be regenerated before you can edit a template or create a new connection.
You must back up your data before you proceed. Data can become damaged if a problem occurs during the
upgrade. If data is damaged, a backup is required to restore the repository. See: Backup and restore of a
repository.
After backup, you must follow the instructions for upgrading on the help site page Qlik NPrinting upgrade.
If you are upgrading to May 2023 SR4 from September 2018 SR2 or older you must:
• Open port 4997 outbound on Qlik NPrinting Server and inbound on all Qlik NPrinting Engines.
• Reinstall all your Qlik NPrinting Engines and provide a password for certificate exchange.
• Open the Engine manager in the Web Console.
• Open the detail page for each Engine and send the certificate after inserting the same password you used during the engine’s reinstallation.
Qlik NPrinting Engines stay offline until the certificate exchange is performed. Older Engine versions cannot connect to a Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR4 Server.

For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.
Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.
Jira issue ID: OP-95599
If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.
Jira issue ID: OP-95682
QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.
Jira issue ID: OP-95797
Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.
To upgrade to Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR1, you must start from one of the following versions:
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than April 2018, you must upgrade to Qlik NPrinting April 2018 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR1.
If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than 17.3, you must first upgrade to Qlik NPrinting 17.3. Then you
must upgrade to a version from April 2018 to May 2021 SR4 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May
2023 SR3.
If you are upgrading from a version older than February 2018, all metadata caches (QlikView and Qlik Sense) will be marked as "not generated". This is due to a breaking change in the format of the metadata cache. All connection caches must be regenerated before you can edit a template or create a new connection.
You must back up your data before you proceed. Data can become damaged if a problem occurs during the
upgrade. If data is damaged, a backup is required to restore the repository. See: Backup and restore of a repository.
After backup, you must follow the instructions for upgrading on the help site page Qlik NPrinting upgrade.
If you are upgrading to February 2024 SR1 from September 2018 SR2 or older you must:
• Open port 4997 outbound on Qlik NPrinting Server and inbound on all Qlik NPrinting Engines.
• Reinstall all your Qlik NPrinting Engines and provide a password for certificate exchange.
• Open the Engine manager in the Web Console.
• Open the detail page for each Engine and send the certificate after inserting the same password you used during the engine’s reinstallation.
Qlik NPrinting Engines stay offline until the certificate exchange is performed. Older Engine versions cannot connect to a Qlik NPrinting February 2024 SR1 Server.

The following release notes cover the versions of QlikView released in May 2023.
QlikView Desktop has changed its rendering engine to WebView2. WebView2 is a modern Microsoft Edge based web technology replacing the previous WebView that was based in MS Internet Explorer technology.
TLS 1.3 support
TLS 1.3 support has been added to QlikView May 2023. With this support has been dropped of TLS 1.0 and 1.1. This means that QlikView supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.
Stronger encryption used
QlikView May 2023 now uses AES256 encryption instead of AES128. This is mainly used in the inter-service communication and means you must generate new keys if you are running your QlikView services with certificate trust.
Time Series breakdown functionality
Several new functions allow you to decompose a time series dataset into trend and seasonality. The trend function identifies direction in the data, and the seasonality function determines seasonality with a known periodicity. The residual function identifies variation that is not associated with seasonal or trend components (noise). With these functions, you now have increased visibility into the patterns and trends in your time series data so you can better plan future action.
Additional functions in the expressions
Additional functions from the Cephes library have been added, allowing you to perform more advanced statistical analysis of simulations
Improvement to customizations of the AccessPoint
When upgrading a system after having customized the AccessPoint, these changes will now persist across the upgrade.
Home button
A home button has been added to the AJAX client and the IE Plugin. This button takes you back to the AccessPoint.
Direct Discovery functionality disabled
Direct Discovery functionality has been disabled in QlikView May 2023. If you still need to use this, please contact Qlik support for information on how to enable it.
Notice of future depreciation – QlikView Mobile client
The support for the QlikView Mobile client will be removed in the next feature release of QlikView, currently planned for May 2024. You will still be able to use the Ajax client on both a phone and tablet, but the native application will be removed.

Limitations
QV-24371 - installing desktop in a share
QlikView Desktop can not be installed on a network share.
Known issues:
QV-24283 High resolution Screens (High DPI) not supported
High resolution screens are not supported by WebView 2 due to a third-party bug with Microsoft.
QV-24773 Nprinting onDemand not working correctly with IIS
When running NPrinting against IIS as webserver there are issues with the onDemand addon. After installing the addon the AccessPoint becomes unresponsive.
If a standard Upgrade is done, new certificates will be created using the AES 256
GCM mode as part of the upgrade. Instructions for upgrading QlikView with new certificates mode (GCM) – Before implementing this, TLS 1.2 has to be enabled for QVS to work normally.
Perform the upgrade on all machines in the cluster.
After completion, the installer will ask you to restart the machine/s.
After restart and services are running, stop all the services and open "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service\QVManagementService.exe.config" and apply the following config:
<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>
If Services are clustered, all the cluster nodes also need the new certificate.
Add into resp config files for each (one on each node):
<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>
or
InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey=1 if QVS.
Start the QMS first and then rest of all services
In the QMC, go to the service’s System/setup, for example if QDS select the node and distribute the new certificates to QDS machine with Apply in setup and follow the popup instructions. Do this for one service om each node to distribute new certs mode. Stop QMS again and all services. Make above configuration false in all config/settings files
"<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="false"></add>".
Start all services. All machines in the cluster shall now have the new certs mode.
If you for some reason need to downgrade to the previous version again, follow this
Support Article to re-generate certificates using the old encryption algorithm.

Known issues:
QV-24977: Because of a critical issue with chart rendering in NPrinting reports we had to revert the fix QV-19899. This is a potential problem for servers with Enable Push from Server enabled since it can lead to reports failing. If this should occur, we recommend disabling Push from Server.
QV-24924: This is an issue that has been fixed, but as a consequence you now need to ensure that the previously entered URL under “Internet Explorer mode pages” in Edge needs to be removed before you re-add it. The file the IE Plugin uses is now a different one than previous. The new URLs should all reference AccessPointIE.aspx if you use a default installation.

It is now possible to hide tabs in the container object. The object will show the first non-hidden object.
The Mekko chart can now show totals on top of each segment stack.
Support for the QVF file format was introduced already in the May 2021 version. With the May 2022 version the QVF format will be the default file format for new documents. The old QVW file format will still work and will be the default save format for existing QVWs.
If a server has two documents with the same base name but different extensions, the QVW will be inactivated. The meta and shared files will however be used also by the QVF.
There is no cross-compatibility between QlikView QVF files and Qlik Sense QVF files.
The QlikView Server services have been upgraded to .NET 4.8.
Previously, the Doc Admin cache was just in memory and was erased if the QMS service was restarted. Now the cache is persisted in a database.
Previously, the QlikView Server have had the functionality to send an email alert if any of the tasks would fail on the reload. Now we have added possibility to also include tasks that finished with warnings.
The 'Log collector' tool developed by the Qlik Support has now been integrated into the QlikView QMC. For a clustered environment, there are some limitations: Only the logs from QVS and QDS are collected.
The user document, created in a Loop and Reduce process, now contains information about the task name and last execution time. This is found in the document support information.
The system requirements for this release can be found under “System requirements” on the Qlik help web site. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2022/Content/QV_HelpSites/System-requirements.htm

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks such as protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.
In previous versions, a dialog opens off-screen if it at a prior time was used on a second monitor. This has now been changed. The dialog is now moved so that at least a part of it is visible on the existing monitor.
There is now the possibility to disable the RC4 encryption and only use AES128. The benefit is stricter security, however with the limitation that the 'Open In Server' command cannot be used on some Windows versions due to limitations in these operating systems.
