What's new in Qlik DataTransfer November 2024 SR2

The Qlik DataTransfer November 2024 SR2 release does not have any new features, but only provides the fix for the issue described below.

Resolved Defects

• The telemetry info added in the November 2024 SR1 was not being applied on startup and ended up in upload failure which is fixed.

Known issues and limitations

This release has the same known issues and limitations as noted in the release notes for Qlik DataTransfer November 2022.

Upgrade notes

Please refer to the online help for information about Upgrading Qlik DataTransfer.

Backup recommendations:

• It is important that you make a backup of the folder C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\DataTransfer and C:\Program Files\Qlik\DataTransfer\services.conf before upgrading. This will make it possible to recover the installation if the upgrade fails.
• If you have installed Qlik DataTransfer to a folder other than C:\Program Files\Qlik\DataTransfer, then please make a copy of the services.conf file from that folder.
• If you have changed the default StoragePath in the services.conf file, then make a backup of that folder instead.
• The services.conf file is reset to the latest release’s defaults during upgrades so the backup is helpful for reapplying any custom user settings.
• If you are installing or upgrading on machine where Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows is already installed, please make sure you install/upgrade Qlik DataTransfer using Qlik Sense service(s) user account.

System requirements notes

Please refer to the online help for information about Qlik DataTransfer system requirements.

Consider migrating to Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access

Whenever possible, Qlik recommends using the Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access to load data from on premises into a Qlik Cloud tenant. The supported databases and the Generic ODBC Connector Package, together with the upcoming support for loading on premises files, can allow you to decommission Qlik DataTransfer servers (and potentially repurpose them for gateways). For more information, see Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access.
