November 2021 Initial Release
https://help.qlik.com/en-US/replicate/November2021/pdf/Replicate-Release-Notes.pdf
In addition to these release notes, customers are encouraged to read the GA release notes for all versions later than their current version as well as the cumulative release notes for the last Service Release of the previous version.
Migration and upgrade
This section describes the issues that you may encounter when upgrading/migrating to the new version.
Upgrade paths
Qlik supports four Replicate versions (including this one).
Direct upgrade is supported from the last two versions only (including any service releases for those versions). The last two versions are Replicate May 2021 and Replicate November 2020.
Upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6)
If you are upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6), you need to perform two upgrades. First upgrade to November 2020, and then upgrade to Replicate November 2021.
Upgrading from unsupported versions
If you are upgrading from Replicate 6.x (starting from 6.3), you first need to upgrade to Replicate 6.5, then to Replicate November 2020 (7.0) and finally to Replicate November 2021.
If you are upgrading from Replicate 5.5, please contact Qlik Support.
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 upgrade/installation prerequisite
- Using the Setup Wizard - It is preferable for .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed on the Replicate Server machine before running Setup. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not present on the machine, Setup will prompt you to install it. This may require the machine to be rebooted when the installation completes.
- Silent Installation – When recording an Install Shield Silent response file (ISS), the recording must be done on a machine with .NET 4.8 already installed on it as the silent installation process does not include a separate installation of .NET framework 4.8.
Deleting the Replicate self-signed certificate after upgrade
After upgrading, customers that are using Replicate's self-signed certificate (i.e. instead of their own certificate) should perform the following procedure:
-
Delete all *.pem files from <replicate_data_folder>/ssl/data.
-
Restart the Qlik Replicate Server service.
This will cause Replicate to generate a new self-signed certificate, thereby resolving any certificate trust issues when connecting to Replicate Console.
Note that if you do not perform the above procedure, the following error will be encountered when connecting to Replicate Console:
SYS,GENERAL_EXCEPTION,The underlying connection was closed: Could not
establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.
Upgrading an installation with multiple data folders
When upgrading a Replicate installation with multiple Data folders, only the default Data folder (<Product_ Dir>\Data) will be automatically upgraded. The other Data folders need to be updated manually by running the following command:
repuictl.exe -d <data_folder_path> setup install
Compatibility with related products
Qlik Replicate November 2021 is compatible with the following related products:
- Qlik Enterprise Manager November 2021
- Compose August 2021 SR1(Patch04) or later
- Compose for Data Lakes April 2020(6.6)
Google Cloud BigQuery target - Full Load change
In earlier versions, when the If target table already exists option was set to Truncate before loading (in the task settings' Full Load Settings tab), a DELETE statement would be executed. Starting from this version, a TRUNCATE statement will be executed instead.
Changes to the Snowflake on Google endpoint settings
The Target folder field in the endpoint settings' General tab was renamed Staging folder. In addition, the ODBC driver and Additional ODBC connection properties fields were removed from the Advanced tab (but can still be set via an internal parameter).
Mapping to Microsoft Azure Databricks and Databricks on Google Cloud
In earlier versions, when replicating to Microsoft Azure Databricks and Databricks on Google Cloud, the Replicate STRING data type was mapped to STRING. From this version, when replicating to Databricks 8.x or later, STRING will be mapped to VARCHAR (length).
As support for the VARCHAR data type was introduced in Databricks 8, creating a task that replicates to Databricks 8.x and then downgrading to a Databricks version earlier than 8 (in the same task) is not supported.What's new?

End of life/support features
This section provides information about End of Life versions, End of Support features, and deprecated features.
End of support
Deprecated driver versions
To optimize the replication process and minimize connectivity issues, support for old driver versions has been discontinued for several endpoints. For information about which drivers are currently supported for a particular endpoint, refer to the "Prerequisites" section for that endpoint in the Replicate Help.
Error count task notification
The More than (X) errors occurred when applying changes to a table task notification is no longer available.
Impending end of support or change in functionality
