Upgrade notes
Upgrading when using certificates for authorization
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.
System requirements notes
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/May2024/Content/QV_HelpSites/System-requirements.htm

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 2023 and Replicate November 2023.
Upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6)
If you are upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6), you need to perform the following upgrades:
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2020 (7.0).
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2021.
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2022.
- Upgrade to Replicate May 2023.
- Upgrade to Replicate May 2024.
Upgrading from unsupported versions
If you are upgrading from Replicate 6.x (starting from 6.3), you need to perform the following upgrades:
- Upgrade to Replicate 6.5.
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2020 (7.0).
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2021.
- Upgrade to Replicate November 2022.
- Upgrade to Replicate May 2023.
- Upgrade to Replicate May 2024.
Note: 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 once 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
Note: This procedure does not need to be performed when upgrading from Replicate November 2022 or later.
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 ensuring that the certificate will be accepted by newer clients (browsers) that select the more secure TLS 1.3 protocol.
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
This version of Replicate is compatible with the following related products only:
- Enterprise Manager May 2024 or later
- Compose November 2023 or later
- Compose for Data Lakes April 2020 (6.6)
Required post-upgrade steps for tasks with a SAP ODP source endpoint
When upgrading from Replicate versions earlier than Replicate May 2023 SP2, you must perform the following steps in the Replicate Console after the upgrade completes:
- Select Advanced Run Options from the Run menu.
- Choose Metadata Only and then select Create missing tables and then stop. Click OK.
- The task will run, collect missing metadata, and then stop.
- Resume the task after it stops.
End of life/support features
This section provides information about End of Life versions, End of Support features, and deprecated features.
Endpoint versions that are no longer supported
Support for the following endpoint versions has been discontinued:
- All Oracle versions and drivers earlier than Oracle 19.x

The following release notes cover the versions of Qlik NPrinting released in May 2023 Service Release 6.
Improvements
SMTP connection retry configuration
Jira issue ID: OP-96021
Two new parameters have been added to the scheduler.config configuration file:
- max-mail-client-connection-attempts: Specifies the maximum number of attempts to connect to the email server. The default value is 2.
- mail-client-connection-attempts-delay-ms: Specifies the delay, in milliseconds, before retrying after a failed connection. The default value is 500 ms.
To customize these parameters, you must uncomment them in the configuration file.
Additionally, this security improvement introduces a breaking change to the email client: certificate validation no longer accepts untrusted self-signed certificates. To use untrusted self-signed certificates, you will need to disable validation in the SMTP configuration or convert the certificates to trusted (trusted root store).
Third party libraries updated
Jira issue ID: OP-96012, OP-96013
The following third-party libraries have been updated and patched to the latest releases:- AngularJS
- NHibernate
- Bouncy Castle

Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.

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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.
Microsoft Sensitivity Labels Are Not Supported
Jira issue ID: HLP-17139
The sensitivity labels feature in Microsoft Office is not supported. If used, report generation and preview will fail with errors.
As a workaround to the issue, block the Active Directory domain policy that pushes the sensitivity labels requirement to domain users.

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 SR6.
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 SR6.
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.Upgrade to November 2018 or newer
If you are upgrading to May 2023 SR5 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 SR5 Server.Downloads

The following release notes cover the versions of Qlik NPrinting released in February 2024 Service Release 3.
Improvements
SMTP connection retry configuration
Jira issue ID: OP-96021
Two new parameters have been added to the scheduler.config configuration file:
- max-mail-client-connection-attempts: Specifies the maximum number of attempts to connect to the email server. The default value is 2.
- mail-client-connection-attempts-delay-ms: Specifies the delay, in milliseconds, before retrying after a failed connection. The default value is 500 ms.
To customize these parameters, you must uncomment them in the configuration file.
Additionally, this security improvement introduces a breaking change to the email client: certificate validation no longer accepts untrusted self-signed certificates. To use untrusted self-signed certificates, you will need to disable validation in the SMTP configuration or convert the certificates to trusted (trusted root store).
Third party libraries updated
Jira issue ID: OP-96012, OP-96013
The following third-party libraries have been updated and patched to the latest releases:- AngularJS
- NHibernate
- Bouncy Castle

QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.
On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
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.Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors
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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.
Microsoft Sensitivity Labels Are Not Supported
Jira issue ID: HLP-17139
The sensitivity labels feature in Microsoft Office is not supported. If used, report generation and preview will fail with errors.
As a workaround to the issue, block the Active Directory domain policy that pushes the sensitivity labels requirement to domain users.

Deprecated Connectors
When upgrading connectors to the latest APIs, unfortunately the changes can be so extensive that we are unable to modify the existing connector. When this happens we will create a new version of the connector and put the existing one into a ‘Deprecated’ state. This means that at some point in the future it will no longer be available and after entering the deprecated status, it will no longer be updated. The date is normally determined by the underlying API which will often have its own expiry date, after which the connector using it will no longer work.
You can see connectors affected under the Deprecated tab in Qlik Web Connectors. Three connectors are noted as deprecated in this release:
- Qlik AYLIEN News Connector V2
- Qlik Amazon S3 Connector
- Qlik MeaningCloud Connector
Two connectors are removed in this release, after being noted as deprecated since previous release:
- Qlik Google Analytics Connector
- Qlik Twitter Connector
Known issues and limitations
IP v6 addresses are not supported when you enter an IP v6 address for the purpose of white listing.
Load Balancing is not supported.
System requirements notes
Qlik Web Connectors requires .NET Framework 4.8.1.

Improvements
Qlik Sense May 2024 is supported
Jira issue ID: OP-96006
Qlik Sense May 2024 is supported.
QlikView May 2024 is supported
Jira issue ID: OP-96011
QlikView May 2024 is supported.
Resolved Defects
Error installing the On-Demand add-on with IIS as the web server on QlikView May 2024 (12.90)
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.
Incorrect HTML output from Microsoft Word templates
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.
Japanese error message after password failure was confusing
Jira issue ID: OP-95990
Japanese error messages when resetting the password have been improved and are now easier to be understand.
Wrong column sizes in PowerPoint reports
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.
Known issues and limitations
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.
Supported languages
The following languages are supported:
- English
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Japanese
- Italian
- Simplified Chinese
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
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.Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.
On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
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.Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors
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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.

Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.
On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
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.Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors
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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.
Microsoft Sensitivity Labels Are Not Supported
Jira issue ID: HLP-17139
The sensitivity labels feature in Microsoft Office is not supported. If used, report generation and preview will fail with errors.
As a workaround to the issue, block the Active Directory domain policy that pushes the sensitivity labels requirement to domain users.

Upgrade notes
Upgrading when using certificates for authorization
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.

May 2024
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:
- Allow the sheet background to shine and make a statement along with the data you’re showing!
- Add more elegance to stacked charts
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:
- Navigating to a specific chart
- Single page design
- Jump to Section
- Back to top
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:
- Smaller columns
- URL links
Pivot Table:
- Dimension limits
- Measure formatting
- Text alignment, dimension and measures values and titles
- Null value styling measures
- URL links
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.
Resolved Defects
May 2024 Patch 7
Key Title Description SHEND-1899 Qlik Sense: Updated Node.js Qlik Sense May 2024 Patch 7 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches. QB-28864 Qlik Engine: Window script function converts Nulls to text Fixed a problem where the window function would incorrectly translate loaded null fields to '-' which could then be selected. With this fix, the handling of null values is corrected and null fields remain null. May 2024 Patch 6
Key Title Description QB-29033 Qlik Sense Platform: WebSocket connection lost Fixed a problem that would, in some cases, throw an exception that caused the loop WebSocket listener to terminate. QB-28865 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Cannot set or unset bookmark as default Fixed a problem that prevented the setting or unsetting of the default bookmark within an app. QB-28395 Qlik Sense: Tooltips do not display for selected dimensions Fixed a problem that prevented the display of tooltips for selected dimensions in Associative insights. This was due to a missing attribute which has now been restored. QB-26965 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Incorrect rendering of heatmap Fixed a floating error in calculating the number of rows and columns that caused heatmaps to render incorrectly. May 2024 Patch 5
Key Title Description QB-27933 Qlik Sense: Date picker library is outdated Updated momentJS to the latest version. QB-27699 Add sanity check for invalid column width values, making sure all columns are included Added a sanity check to resolve issue with the 'View data' capability for the Pivot table. The issue was caused by incorrect column width values being stored in the chart's properties, causing some columns to not be rendered by the 'View data' tool. The new check ensures all columns are rendered in 'View data'. QB-27147 Qlik Sense Visualizations: Qlik Sense icon not showing in apps on May 2024 IR Fixed a problem that caused the favicon to disappear on some apps. QB-27657 Qlik Sense Engine: Parquet file not deleted Parquet files were in some cases not deleted after being used. This has been fixed by not using the MemoryMap option when opening Parquet files for reading when the files have been downloaded using a web connector. QB-26936 Qlik Sense Engine: Select and search methods fail to parse search strings starting with certain characters Search strings starting with any of the following characters: <>\"~()='[] would not be parsed correctly when the user was expecting an exact search. A fix was added which will allow users to force an exact search by adding an extra backslash "\" before any of the special characters (for example, to search for "<x>" enter the search string "\<x>").
This fix is disabled by default. To enable it, update the Settings.ini file to include "EnableSpecialCharacterEscapingInSearch = 1".May 2024 Patch 4
Key Title Description QB-27754 Resolved a CORS error that blocked external API requests Fixed an issue with CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) requests that were blocked when making external API requests. The issue was related to the handling of the "withCredentials" option in the requests. QB-26530 Implemented Retry Mechanism for QRS API /ContentCacheControl Endpoint in Hub Service Enhanced the Hub service to use a retry mechanism, allowing it to wait for the QRS API's /ContentCacheControl endpoint to respond. QB-27821 Resolved UI issue: Restored internal menu functionality in Dev Hub In the Mashup editor in Dev Hub, the 'Menu' button in the toolbar was inadvertently replaced with a 'Help' button. The issue is resolved and access to the 'Menu' button has been restored. QB-28406 Fixed security issue with using old version of Axios Fixed security issue caused by Qlik Sense using an old version of Axios. The security issue has been resolved by updating the version of Axios used by Qlik Sense. QB-27348 Fixed handling of Proxy Username for Amazon Athena connections Resolved an issue with the Amazon Athena connector when using a proxy with user name and password to authenticate the connection. The resolution involved fixing the authentication process so that the Proxy Username value entered by the user is properly forwarded to the driver. May 2024 Patch 3
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. May 2024 Patch 2
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. May 2024 Patch 1
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. May 2024
Key
Title
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. Authentication is now mandatory, and you must have an active session before accessing the endpoints. Unauthenticated requests will result in a "403 Forbidden" error. 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 Known issues and limitations
The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.
Clients
- Third-party extensions are currently not supported on mobile devices, and the Qlik Trusted Extension Developer program does not accredit extensions for use on mobile devices. Generated items might not be visualized properly on a mobile device, depending on individual device specifications, mobile OS, and the size of the Qlik Sense app.
- When you consume Qlik Sense apps using the Microsoft Edge browser on touch/hybrid devices, the long-press action does not work. This prevents you from accessing functions such as an object’s context menu, which requires a long press in touch mode. This is a Microsoft Edge issue.
Workaround: If you use a hybrid device, turn off touch mode, and then turn it back on again. - Export as Anonymous does not work for mashups deployed in a domain that is different from the domain where 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). The script still executes correctly.
- Legend does not show dimension values after row number 3000.
- Limitations when exporting a story to PowerPoint:
- Titles are not rescaled as HTML. Font settings are not exported.
- Storytelling effects are not applied.
- Exported charts might 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 you delete from one app are also deleted from every other app that was using the same view. There is no workaround for this issue. Avoid deleting views that might already be in use by other apps.
- When you create a new dynamic view in the assets pane, the dropdown menu item does not automatically change to show the charts of the newly created dynamic view if there are any existing dynamic views. You must click on the dropdown menu to choose the newly created view.
- The data for a dynamic view is automatically refreshed whenever you open a sheet that contains charts for the view. The same happens when you enter and then return from the global selections pane, and when you add a new chart for the view. Refrain from performing these actions on the base app to prevent triggering refreshes.
- The view of a dynamic chart is cleared and shows a message indicating a view constraint violation whenever you change the selection state of the base app in a way that violates the view's constraints. Refrain from changing the selection state of the base app until it has finished making use of the data in any of the dynamic view charts.
- The ‘Go to source’ option on a snapshot slide (available on right-click) for a dynamic chart does not select the actual dynamic chart when you change the view to the base app sheet.
- Changes to chart settings for dynamic view charts using the Exploration menu are lost after refreshing the view.
- Dynamic views do not support the Trellis extension.
Managing a Qlik Sense site
- The Edit pane under Custom properties in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) can currently handle a limited number of custom properties. If you want to edit custom property values in the QMC, we recommend keeping the number of custom property values to a maximum of 500. If you want to apply values without modifying them, the QMC can handle up to 10,000 custom property values.
- When you remove app objects from an application via the QMC interface, deleted objects are not removed from the application’s binary file stored on the file system.
- It is not possible to use a security rule on the HubSection_* resource to hide the ‘Open hub’ link from the navigation menu when accessing an app as an anonymous user.
Workaround: Use reverse proxy to redirect the ‘Open hub’ link to a preferred landing site. - Windows service Qlik Engine cannot be started on a node where the Qlik Engine service is disabled through the QMC. Every time Windows restarts for that node, the Qlik Engine service fails to start up and throws an error in Windows event logs. You can prevent this by temporarily disabling the Qlik Engine service in Windows Service Manager.
- Data connection passwords containing special characters (such as "=", "%", or ";") are not properly encoded when updated via the QMC. This causes authentication errors when trying to connect to specific data sources, which could cause reload tasks to fail.
Workaround: Use the data load editor to update the password. Note that once the password is updated, the name of the data connection is automatically appended by "(domain_userId)". You can adjust this later via the QMC.
Qlik Sense Desktop
- Qlik Sense Desktop can play WebM and Ogg but not MP4 files. This is 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 Connector 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, the ODBC Connector Package does not prevent you from loading other data types. In some cases, you can load unsupported data types with the load script.
- ODBC connector: Database connectors in the ODBC Connector Package do not work properly if the username on the Microsoft Windows system running Qlik Sense Desktop contains letters that are not English alphanumeric characters.
Workaround: Change the Windows system locale to match the character set that contains the characters used in the username. For example, if the system locale on the system running Qlik Sense Desktop is set to English and a username contains Swedish characters, you must change the system locale to Swedish for the ODBC connector to work properly. - The Qlik Salesforce connector does not support PK chunking on sharing objects. PK chunking is only supported on parent objects.
- The Apache Phoenix connector does not support non-Latin characters in metadata. The connector might return corrupted data or unpredictable query results if you run a query with non-Latin characters in metadata, such as table names, column names, and aliases.
Cloud deployments and Multi-Cloud
- When you download a pivot table in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, expanded rows are not included but stay collapsed.

Resolved Defects
The following Release Notes cover resolved defects for Qlik Cloud. Solved issues and limitations for Qlik Cloud Services are also listed.
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.

Improved the handling of cross-origin resources by enhancing URL validation.User import tasks ended incorrectly with audit trail enabled
Jira issue ID: OP-95973
Users’ import tasks were randomly completed incorrectly when audit trail was active.Object filters incompatible with other applied filters resulted in report generation error
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.PDF reports from PowerPoint templates aligned charts incorrectly
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.Known issues and limitations

Supported languages
The following languages are supported:
- English
- French
- German
- Spanish
- Brazilian Portuguese
- Japanese
- Italian
- Simplified Chinese
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
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.Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.
Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.
On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
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.Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors
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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.

Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives
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.Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice
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.QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense
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.
Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings
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.
On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge
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.Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors
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).Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'
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.Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status
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.User filters are excluded from matching and object filters
Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:- Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
- Import a report
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.Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment
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:- Retrieve a recent backup
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
- Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
- Restore the backup
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:
- Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
- Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine
Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task
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.Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions
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.Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported
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.Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality
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.Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails
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.Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node
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.QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities
Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:- Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
- Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
- Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.
Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported
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:- Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
- If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.
Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations
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.Reports size limit
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.Excel print area with more than one range
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.Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive
Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports
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.Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF
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.
QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported
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.
Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text
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.
