May 2022

Distribute only changes of an app to Qlik Sense Cloud

The DistributeWithoutData feature allows the user to distribute app metadata changes (like name and app objects). By comparing data last loaded and last distribution time-stamps, the Application Distribution service (ADS) decides whether app should be distributed with or without data. In the case of no data change, this significantly reduces network traffic between Qlik Sense and Qlik Cloud Services.

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the DistributeWithoutData feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\AppDistributionService\appsettings.json. To disable, set the flag to false and then restart the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service. Make sure it is done on all nodes where ADS is configured to distribute apps to the cloud:

(...) "FeatureFlags": {
"ChunkedUploads": true, "DistributeWithoutData": true, "ExportScope": "published"
} }

See also the complementary feature "Distribution task for distributing apps from Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud Services".

Favorites in the Qlik Sense Hub

Hub users can now mark their private app or any published app as a favorite. The marked apps will appear in a new app space in the Hub: Favorites. The Favorites section is visible when at least one app is marked as favorite. An application is marked/unmarked as favorite via an icon shown when hovering over the app thumbnail or in the Actions column, depending on the view.

A new endpoint is introduced with the following methods, affecting the user making the call, identified via the X-Qlik-User header.:

GET /qrs/user/favorites
PUT /qrs/user/favorites/<AppID> 
DELETE /qrs/user/favorites/<AppID>

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the HUB_FAVORITES feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\CapabilityService\capabilities.json. To disable, set the flag to false and then follow restart the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service:

"contentHash":"2ae4a99c9f17ab76e1eeb27bc4211874","originalClassName":"FeatureToggle","flag":"HUB_FAVORITES","enabled":false}

Update of extensions in Qlik Management Console

Qlik Sense now offers an ability to update extensions without the need of deleting the existing one. In the Qlik Management Console, upon an attempt to upload an extension with a name that already exists in the system, the user is prompted for confirmation to replace it with the new one. Once confirmed, the existing files are overridden with the new ones, while keeping the GUID of the extension intact. This does not affect any associated items, for example, custom security rules. On an API level this is accomplished by adding the replace=true parameter to the request, as in the following example:

/qrs/extension/upload?privileges=true&pwd=&replace=true

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the QmcReplaceExtensions feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\CapabilityService\capabilities.json. To disable, set the flag to false and then restart the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service:

{"contentHash":"2ae4a99c9f17ab76e1eeb27bc4211874","originalClassName":"FeatureToggle","flag":"QmcReplaceExtensions","enabled":false}

Empty streams not displayed in the Qlik Sense Hub

In the hub, based on the existing security rules, streams are no longer displayed if they contain no empty apps or are evaluated to not show apps for current user. Upon publishing an app, moving an app from another stream, or deleting an app, the list of streams is dynamically updated. The streams either appear or are hidden. Changes outside of the hub, (for example in the Qlik Management Console), do not trigger updates to the list of stream in the hub.

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the HUB_HIDE_EMPTY_STREAMS feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\CapabilityService\capabilities.json. To disable, set the flag to false and then restart of the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service:

{"contentHash":"2ae4a99c9f17ab76e1eeb27bc4211874","originalClassName":"FeatureToggle","flag":"HUB_HIDE_EMPTY_STREAMS","enabled":false}

Distribution task for distributing apps from Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud Services

A new type of task is now available in the Qlik Management Console: Distribution task. The distribution task allows scheduling the distributions of apps in the same way as reloading apps via reload tasks.

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the QMC_DISTRIBUTION_TASK feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\CapabilityService\capabilities.json. To disable, set the flag to false and then restart the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher service:

"contentHash":"2ae4a99c9f17ab76e1eeb27bc4211874","originalClassName":"FeatureToggle","flag":"QMC_DISTRIBUTION_TASK","enabled":false}

In addition, this feature comes with the ability of disabling the legacy behavior of automatically triggered distributions of apps at the change of metadata or actual data, based on the existing distribution policies. This is done by setting the following flag in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Repository.exe.config to true, and then restarting the Qlik Sense Repository service:

<add key="DisableAppChangeDistribution" value="true" />

See also the complementary feature "Distribute only changes of an app to cloud".

Qlik Sense Repository service scans for script tags in the XML files uploaded to AppContent or ContentLibrary library types

For customers who consciously allow-list XML files and allow their upload as data sources or part of the content libraries, an additional layer of security has been introduced. The Repository service scans through the uploaded XML file for potential Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities. If any are found, it blocks further upload. System administrators in the Qlik Management Console can force the upload despite the presented warning. App users will no longer be able to complete the upload and will be instructed to contact their system administrator to perform it for them. 

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via the ScanXmlFileForScripts feature flag set in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Repository.exe.config. To disable, set the flag to false and then restart the Qlik Sense Repository service:

<add key="ScanXmlFileForScripts" value="false" />

May 2022 Patch 7

Google BigQuery connector: Update in the OAuth flow for the User Authentication mechanism, due to the deprecation of OAuth out-of-band (oob) flow by Google. This change requires reauthentication of existing connection definitions.

May 2022 Patch 10

Patch policy for Qlik Sense Desktop has been updated. Please see “Latest release and patch” in download app for the latest Qlik Sense Desktop. All corrective content will be available in the latest patch of Qlik Sense Desktop.

QB-10692	Qlik Engine: Risk of corrupting the state of thread locks due to stalling engine	Resolved an issue where the engine was stalling when checking for changes to Settings.ini.
QB-10629	Scheduler: Reload tasks stuck in 'Triggered' state	Fixed a problem that caused the Scheduler service to fail to transition to state Active if there was an incorrectly configured "Custom" trigger. This was solved by catching the exception and logging a warning message in System_Scheduler logs.
QB-10280	Qlik Engine: Not all published apps open after encryption certificate is changed	Fixed a bug that prevented some published apps from opening after a new encryption certificate was used. When the encryption certificate is now changed, all objects in the app are re-encrypted upon the first save or reload, removing any reference to the old certificate.
QB-10051	Qlik Sense Hub: Improper error handling for "api/hub/v1/apps/stream/" request	Fixed a problem that resulted in unnecessarily verbose error messages.
QB-10013	Qlik Engine: Bookmarks with saved layouts could cause slow interactions	Fixed a problem that caused bookmarks saved with layouts to increase in size when shown in a list, resulting in the browser not being able to show the list. You can enable this behavior by setting SuppressPatchesInBookmarkLayout in the settings.ini file.
QB-9964	Risk of information disclosure using /api/engine/sessions API	This issue has been fixed by hiding the /sessions endpoint behind a flag. The endpoint is disabled by default and can be enabled by setting the ExposeSessionsEndpoint flag to 1 in engine INI.

Key	Title	Description
QB-10174	Issue with notification setup when several websockets have opened the same app	When several websockets open the same app event, registration of notifications like publish and unpublish is set up and torn down appropriately.
QB-10171	Reload script is executed successfully but app save fails	Added a retry mechanism where a locked transaction file would cause Engine to fail when saving the app. Affected areas: - Autosave - API: DoSave - API: DoSaveEx Note that when the saving sometimes takes a bit longer to complete, this could be the retry mechanism waiting for the file to get unlocked for writing (10 ms for each retry).
IM-131	Add retry of CopyFileCollection when performing DoSave	Improvement for environmental issue when DoSave might fail. The failure could be seen in the Engine System log as '*Could not copy collection* <fileshare path to app> (genericException)' AppSerializer: SaveApp_internal caught extended exception 9010: Unknown error. Added a retry mechanism that can be controlled through the settings.ini file: CopyCollectionRetry=5 The default value is currently set to five retries. This setting can be turned off by setting it to 0.

May 2022

Key	Title	Description
QB-5766	Qlik Cloud: Sheet with dynamic view is "published" when trying to edit the sheet	Fixed an issue with editing a sheet with dynamic views. You would get a message that the sheet was published and that you had to duplicate it to edit.
QB-5820	Qlik Sense could stop responding during upgrade after decoupling bundled PostgreSQL database instance	After reconfiguring a default Qlik Sense installation to use a dedicated PostgreSQL database instance, the upgrade could fail if the default instance was not uninstalled. Qlik Sense installer will no longer allow an upgrade unless that condition is met.
QB-6274	Qlik Sense: Incorrect sorting when a chart is rendered the first time	A chart will be correctly sorted when it has a sorting expression that contains a set expression with an auto-field the first time it is rendered.
QB-6534	Allow user to use letter 'A' in format expressions	The letter 'A' used to be a reserved syntax to force an SI abbreviation. Now it is disabled.
QB-7663	Qlik Sense app stops responding when importing thousands of columns	Fixed an issue whith imports of more than 16,000 columns in a table. On a Windows server, the app would stop responding, and on Linux the whole engine process would terminate. This could happen during reload, script editing dialogs, or when opening the app.
QB-7766	ApplyPatches() changes are not persisted on disconnect from app	Qlik Sense: ApplyPatches() changes are now persisted on disconnect from an app after save.
QB-7782	Host header not validated when Qlik Sense hostname is added in 'Host allow list' in virtual proxy settings	Improved the HTTP Host header validation method for permitted domains as per 'Host allow list' performed by Qlik Virtual Proxy.
QB-7903	ODAG indication green light not consistent	In case of having multiple ODAG links in an app there could be times when the constraints check (green light indicator) would use an expression from a different ODAG link. It will now use the correct expression.
QB-7907	AMI instance BYOL broken on installation level - qliksenserepository password not updated for some microservices	The error "The system cannot find the file specified" was thrown when trying to configure microservices for communication with postgres. The Configure-Service.ps1 scripts have been updated for every microservice to point to the "...\PostgreSQL\12.5" location.
QB-8085	Qlik Sense: The whole group isn't hidden when the parent in suppressed in a pivot table	In a Qlik Sense pivot table, if a dimension value is suppressed for being zero, the whole subgroup is now also suppressed.
QB-8102	The contrast ration in app description in the Hub not compliant with WACG 2 guidelines	When displaying apps in list view, the description section had contrast ratio below WACG 2 guidelines. The subtext color has been changed resulting in contrast ratio increase to 5.17:1.
QB-8144	Prepare statement failing in Qlik Sense	The Prepare and Execute statements are no longer case sensitive.
QB-8218	Smart search doesn't work when used in session apps	Resolved an issue where smart search did not work in session apps or in a mashup.
QB-8381	Fix 'Apply changes' message on Container object	The 'Apply changes' message that appears on the property panel when switching between tabs in the Container object has been removed.
QB-8513	Qlik Sense: Error when exporting data to Excel due to date format	The engine can have an arbitrary number of decimal digits of whole seconds. When exporting to Excel this is limited to three decimals, the upper limit that Excel can handle, and caused errors. This has been fixed by updating the millisecond format for Excel export.
QB-8527	Qlik Sense: Third-party software shows jQuery UI	Components for jQuery UI have been removed from the Third-party software section in the About dialog in the hub because it is no longer shipped with the product.
QB-8541	Multi KPI chart style is changed unintentionally	Multi KPI chart is now reverted to the original style.
QB-8638	Unauthorised access to QMC sections possible by changing response	By intercepting and reusing the response to a /qrs/SystemRule/security/evaluatetransientresources request, it was possible for an unprivileged user to unlock sections in the Qlik Management Console (QMC), while still being restricted to information within them. The issue has been fixed by hashing values returned from the evaluattrancientresrouces endpoint from the QmcSection access check, which in turn prevents unauthorized access to QMC.
QB-8689	Section Access on key field can cause a crash	When a key field is reduced by Section Access, the data traverse cannot correctly handle NULL values if the reduced field had NULL values before reduction, but not after. In rare cases, it could cause the engine to crash.
QB-8713	Enable setting for usage of measure names in expression	The setting that enables usage of measure names in expression was previously disabled by default, but it will now be enabled by default.
QB-8742	500 Internal Server Error when accessing hub via URI with special characters	When an unauthenticated user would access hub via URI containing special characters, for example Japanese, the proxy service would throw a 500 error as a result of incorrect string parsing. This issue has been fixed by changing the way the proxy service handles the target URI.
QB-8826	Qlik Sense Repository Service allows more than one ServiceCluster	Fixed an issue where the Qlik Sense Repository Service would allow, via API call, to create more than one ServiceCluster entity. This might have caused issues with ServiceCluster settings. Now, the error "400 Bad Request - Only one service cluster per deployment allowed" is thrown.
QB-8851	Can't use dashes (-) in the database name using the MySQL connector wizard	The issue has been fixed and dashes can now be used in database names and table names.
QB-8859	Logging level issue	Fixed an error in a logging mechanism where a connector produced log strings of log level DEBUG when the actual setting was log level INFO.
QB-8873	Forms Authentication with FQDN creates new user	When a user authenticated to Qlik Sense with Forms Authentication and FQDN as user directory, it was recognized as a different user, compared to when using a simple domain name. This has been fixed by using user impersonation, which prevents the creation of a new user.
QB-8878	Y-axis of line chart used in container disappears	Fixed an issue in Qlik Sense where the y-axis of line charts sometimes disappeared when used in a container.
QB-8893	Issue with nine items in filter pane	A filter pane with exactly nine items now has a scrollbar. This makes the last item readable and reachable.
QB-8909	Fiilter pane is hidden when another chart is full screen	Qlik Sense now applies the correct cascading style sheet to the filter pane when you make another chart full screen.
QB-8917	Dimension labels cut off in combo chart	Fixed an issue where the dimension labels were cut off incorrectly for certain chart sizes in combo charts.
QB-8992	Use safe ciphers by default	Fixed an issue with unsafe ciphers. The unsafe ciphers have been removed and a list list of supported predefined ciphers is used. If you want to use the unsafe ciphers, you need to provide a list of them as mentioned in this knowledge article: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/TLS-cipher-suit..., under the `--cipher-suites` param
QB-9029	Fix log messages for QvRestConnector	Fixed logging of REST connector. The following message is no longer logged: "REST The requested service 'Qlik.Connectors.SDK.Common.Encryption.IEncryptionService' has not been registered."

QB-9484	Qlik Sense Desktop error at login	Fixed an issue with Qlik Sense Desktop 2022 authentication against Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW).

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it does however list all known major issues and limitations.

Clients

• Third-party are currently not supported on mobile devices, and the Qlik Trusted Extension Developer program does not accredit extensions for use on mobile devices. Depending on individual device specifications, mobile OS, and size of the Qlik Sense app, items generated using a third-party extension might fail to be visualized properly on a mobile device.
• When consuming Qlik Sense apps using the Microsoft browser, touch screen mode is activated by default even when it is run on a non-touch device.

  Workaround: turn 'touch screen mode' off from the navigation menu.

• When consuming Qlik Sense apps using Microsoft browser on touch/hybrid devices, the long-press action does not work. This limitation prevents from accessing functions such as an object’s context menu, which on touch mode requires a long-press. This is a Microsoft Edge’s issue.
  Workaround: If using a hybrid device, turn the touch mode off and turn it back on again.
• Export as Anonymous does not work for mashups deployed in a domain that is different from the domain in which Qlik Sense is installed. Export only works for Anonymous if the mashup is deployed in the same domain as Qlik Sense.
• When using the new “Load Extension” syntax in the load script, the Data Load Editor syntax completion does not work well after the keyword “Extension” when trying to write the call to an SSE function (AAI function). Nevertheless, the script executes correctly.
• Legend does not show dimension values that are after row number 3000.
• Internet Explorer supports a maximum of six web socket connections.
  Workaround: See https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/ee330736(v=vs.85).aspx

•  Exporting a story to PowerPoint limitations

  1. Titles are not rescaled as HTML, font settings are not yet exported.
  2. Storytelling effects are not applied.
  3. Exported charts may show fixed scroll bars, depending on the export resolution.
• It is not possible to open the context menu of an org chart on a touch device
• When you choose to view data in the context menu in a Dynamic Chart and make a new selection in the app, you need to refresh the browser for the chart to be displayed again

Dynamic views

• Dynamic views that are deleted from one app are also deleted from every other app that was using the same view. There is no workaround for this issue other than to avoid deleting views that may already be in use by one or more other apps because of having made copies of these apps
• When creating a new dynamic view in the assets panel, if there are one or more existing dynamic views, the dropdown menu item does not automatically change to show the charts of the newly created dynamic view.  The user must click on the dropdown menu to choose the newly created view
• The data for a dynamic view is automatically refreshed (i.e. re-queried from source) whenever a user enters a sheet containing any charts for that view.  The same occurs when entering and then returning from the global selections panel as well as when adding a new chart for the same view.  To prevent triggering this automatic refresh behavior, users should refrain from performing these actions on the base app.
• The view of a dynamic chart is cleared and overlaid with a message indicating a view constraint violation condition whenever the user changes the selection state of the base app such that the view's constraints are violated.  Users should refrain from altering the selection state of the base app at least until they are finished making use of the data in any one of the dynamic view charts
• The right-click "Go to source" option on a Snapshot slide for a dynamic chart does not select the actual dynamic chart when changing the view to the base app sheet
• Chart settings changes made to dynamic view charts using the Exploration menu are lost following refresh operation of the view
• Dynamic Views currently does not support the Trellis extension

Managing a Qlik Sense site

• The Qlik Management Console Custom Property Edit page can currently handle a limited number of custom properties. If you want to edit custom property values in the Qlik Management Console, we recommend keeping the amount of custom property values to a maximum of 500. If you want to just apply values without modifying them, the Qlik Management Console can handle up to 10.000 custom property values.
• With the current architecture it is not possible, using security rule on HubSection_* resource, to hide "Open hub" link from the "Navigation" menu when accessing app as an anonymous user.
  Workaround: Use reverse proxy configured to redirect "Open hub" link to a preferable landing site
• When removing app objects from an application via Qlik Management Console's interface, deleted objects are not removed from that application’s binary file stored on the file system.
• Unable to hide "Open hub" link for anonymous user by using security rule. With the current architecture it is not possible, using security rule on HubSection_* resource, to hide "Open hub" link from the "Navigation" menu when accessing app as an anonymous user. Suggested workaround is to use reverse proxy configured to redirect "Open hub" to a preferable landing site.
• Windows service Qlik Engine cannot be started on a node where Qlik Engine service is disabled through Qlik Management Console. Description: Every time Windows restarts for that node, the Qlik Engine service will fail to start up and throw an error in Windows event logs. This can be prevented by temporary disable the Qlik Engine service in Windows Service Manager.
• Data connection passwords containing special characters are not properly encoded when updated via Qlik Management Console. Description: Data connection passwords containing special characters (such as "=", "%", or ";") are not correctly encoded when updated via the Qlik Management Console (QMC). This causes authentication errors when trying to connect to specific data sources, which could cause reload tasks to fail.
  The simplest workaround is to use the data load editor to update the password.
  Please note that once the password is updated, the name of the data connection is automatically appended with "(domain_userId)". This can be adjusted later on via the QMC.

Qlik Sense Desktop

• Qlik Sense Desktop can play WebM and Ogg, but not MP4 files due to limitations in Chromium

Connectors

• REST connector: The Next token pagination option does not work when the pagination token has the same value for each page.
• For connectors in the ODBC Connectors Package, only the data types listed as supported in the online help have been verified to work correctly in the Preview and Script editor. However, ODBC Connector Package does not prevent the loading of other data types, so in some cases unsupported data types can be loaded with the load script.

• ODBC connector: If the user name on the Microsoft Windows system running Qlik Sense Desktop contains letters that are not English alphanumeric characters, database connectors in the ODBC Connector Package do not work properly. Workaround: Change the Windows system locale to match the character set that contains the characters used in the user name. For example, if the system locale on the system running Qlik Sense Desktop is set to English and a user name contains Swedish characters, the System locale setting must be changed to Swedish for the ODBC connector to work properly

•  The Qlik Salesforce Connector does not support PK chunking on sharing objects. PK chunking is supported only on parent objects.

•  Apache Phoenix connector does not support non-Latin characters in metadata.
  Connector may return a corrupted data or unpredictable query results if running a query with non-Latin characters in metadata: table names, column names, aliases, etc.

Cloud deployments and Multi-Cloud

• When downloading a in cloud environments (Qlik Sense Enterprise on Cloud Services and Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes), expanded rows are not included but stay collapsed.
