Migration and Upgrade

Before upgrading, it's important to review the migration and upgrade considerations below.

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 Enterprise Manager Server machine before running Setup.

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 2024 and Replicate November 2024.

Upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6)

3. Upgrade to Replicate November 2022.
4. Upgrade to Replicate May 2023 SR.

8. Upgrade to Replicate May 2025.

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.

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 Qlik products

This version of Replicate is compatible with the following related products only:

• Enterprise Manager May 2025 and its Service Releases
• Compose November 2023 or later
• Compose for Data Lakes April 2020 (6.6)

Preventing log stream replication tasks from failing after upgrade

The Retrieve all source columns on UPDATE option introduced in Replicate November 2024 might impact your existing log stream replication tasks if you are upgrading from a version earlier than Replicate May 2024. In this case, your replication tasks will fail if either of the following replication task setting are configured:

• Change Processing > Change Processing Tuning > DELETE and INSERT when updating a primary key column
• Error handling > Apply Conflicts > No record found for applying an UPDATE: Insert the missing target record

To prevent the task(s) from failing, you need to do one of the following for each log stream replication task (preferably the first):

• Enable the Retrieve all source columns on UPDATE option in Task Settings > Change Processing > Change Processing Tuning
  -OR-
• Add the disableLogstreamFullLoggingCheck flag to Task Settings > More Options and set it to On. This will preserve the previous behavior.

Resolved Defects

May 2025 – Technical Preview

Key	Title	Description
QB-30883	Navigation issue when switching panes in Assets panel of Insight Advisor	Fixed an issue where clicking 'Master items' in the Assets panel within Insight Advisor would instead take the user to the 'Fields' list.
QB-30855	Qlik Sense: 404 error in browser console	This fix removes a bug where a 404 error was shown in the web browser developer tools when loading an app.
QB-30851	App thumbnail not rendered correctly in certain configurations	Fixed an issue where if the Qlik Sense server was configured to use a URL prefix, apps with custom thumbnail images could receive a broken image rendered in the top bar instead of the actual thumbnail.
QB-30811	Fix for app thumbnail alt tag	The app thumbnail was missing an alt tag. Since the thumbnail is purely decorative, an empty alt tag has been added.
QB-30798	Non-deterministic subset of rows loaded from Parquet file	Fixed an issue where Parquet files would not load all rows for particular nested structures. The files had to contain a column with repeated pairs of data. Additionally, the number of repeats had to be changing over the file.
QB-30779	Qlik Sense: Issue with locked fields and section access after reload	Fixes an issue where locking a selection in an app with a section access caused the field to be included in the section access after a reload or partial reload, and the only available values after the reload were the ones that have been locked.
QB-30760	Selection bar contrast issue	In sheet view in an app, the background of the selection bar was dark enough to give the text low contrast. By brightening the background, the contrast has been increased, increasing readability of text.
QB-30730	Qlik Engine: Display error for null date or time values in Excel	When exporting a table containing null date or time values from an app into Excel, those values would be displayed using the wrong character. The values were incorrectly exported as numerical data instead of dates but the issue has been resolved.
QB-30680	Exploration menu translations not properly set up	The translations for the exploration menu in the new straight table were not properly setup
QB-30629	Qlik Sense: Unable to open tables with empty header in Excel	Exporting tables to Excel while "Table formatting" is enabled but with an empty header definition would make the resulting file corrupted and unable to be opened in Excel. This issue has been fixed.
QB-30494	Make soft patches more compact and portable to fix frozen stories	Frozen slides might happen while playing stories that contain Bookmark patches created for every value in an array. It is recommended to always create a replace patch for an array that has changed by a soft patch, rather than several patches on the elements of the array.
QB-30421	Qlik Sense: Error when downloading a PDF report using qlik-embed	When using qlik-embed to embed a classic/app the PDF preview was not working when exporting (or downloading) a chart, and returned a 401 error (Access denied). This was solved by ensuring requests for the iframe include authentication information.
QB-30332	Jumping from a chart before the correct one when selecting alternative dimensions or measures	The UI would jump before focusing on the correct chart when selecting alternative dimensions or measures on a sheet page with scrollbar. This has been fixed by applying a focus on the correct chart.
QB-30293	Qlik Sense: Broken color properties when copying and pasting a master measure to a KPI	If a master measure with 'Segment colors' enabled was copied from a Multi-KPI object or a bar chart, and pasted in a KPI object, the 'Conditional colors' menu would not displayed correctly for the KPI object. With this fix, by properly applying the initial properties of the measure when pasted, the color options work properly.
QB-30240	Qlik Reporting: Text objects styling not working when exporting stories	The style of text objects on stories, like the font size, was not correctly applied to exported PDF reports. This has been fixed and the PDF output now has the correct styles applied.
QB-30159	Updating Mapchart Show Layer always updates the first layer	When clearing a Show Layer checkbox, it would clear the other Show Layer checkbox. It has been fixed by applying a unique ID to each checkbox.
QB-30113	Fix for special characters in Parquet file name	An issue was identified in Qlik Sense involving a load script referencing a Parquet file, or path to a Parquet file, that contained special characters. The file did not load properly in the preview window before running a reload. The issue has been resolved.
QB-30110	Qlik Cloud Services: Fuzzy search using Latin characters returns Chinese characters first	Searching a term in a file using Latin characters would return terms with Chinese characters first in the results, even though they don't match. This was due to non-ascii characters, such as Chinese, not being supported for fuzzy search. The bug has been fixed and searches should now return the expected results.
QB-30045	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Layout container is slow during interactions	Fixed a performance problem in the layout container with many objects that were dynamically hidden and shown
QB-30008	Visualizations: Unable to select "None" as a header Totals background colors in the Straight Table	Fixed a problem where in some cases, parts of the straight table were white instead of transparent when background color was set to "None".
QB-29911	Qlik Sense: Engine times out when calculating dimensions in large applications	When trying to allocate large chunks of the local heap (between 1.2 GB and 2.4 GB) a bug would cause an infinite loop that could hang the engine process. The bug has been fixed.
QB-29866	Qlik Sense: libcurl library updates	The Presto driver now uses the libcurl.dll version 8.7.0.0. The libcurl library that was not used by the MSSQL driver has also been deleted.
QB-29726	Qlik Sense Engine: Certain formats breaking during excel export	Number formats including a space as separator, or a space before a currency symbol (ex:  # ##0$ or -# ##) would previously break when exported to excel.  With this fix  all characters preceding the first '#' and trailing the last '0' are now double quoted to ensure that these formats are properly interpreted in Excel.
QB-29627	Variables: long name and description could overflow the table cells	Making sure that long names and descriptions don't overflow the table cells by using ellipsis.
QB-29394	Qlik Sense: Multiple selections not working with qlik-embed	Fixed a problem that caused the input options in the qlik-embed tag for selections to be incorrectly handled when added to the classic/app URL in the iframe loading the UI.
QB-28716	Qlik Connectors: Unable to add filter conditions to SAP Extractor Connector	With this fix, it is possible to add new entries in the Conditions interface for the SAP Extractor connector again.
QB-28373	Improvements to Insight Advisor query interpretation	Regex support for date format mmm'YY (e.g., Jan'23) was added. Filter identification for Insight Advisor queries was improved.
QB-28310	Qlik Sense Connectors: SAP BW Connector condition fetches zero records	Using a condition to the field name int he WHERE condition was causing the connector to retrieve zero records. This has been fixed and the connector now seamlessly switches the field name for WHERE clauses when there is an alternative name to be used.
QB-26358	Visualizations: Text and scroll bars disappear in a text object	Fixed a problem where in a text object, the text would disappear when scrolling, and scroll bars were unavailable to scroll back up. Additionally, scrollbars have been implemented to ensure proper visual feedback when scrolling, allowing users to view and navigate the content smoothly.
QCB-31467	Sense-Client: Improved error handling for large response messages	Added translated error message in Client for Engine error code (-32604), improving user understanding of large response message issues.
QCB-31397	Published Apps: Removed app settings from menu	We've fixed an issue where app settings appeared in published app menus, causing errors when accessed. These settings have been removed, streamlining the menu and preventing user confusion. Published apps now display only relevant options.
QCB-31391	Unable to create or view ODBC and OLE DB connections in Data Manager	Users experienced issues when creating or viewing ODBC and OLE DB connections in Data Manager. Specifically, the ODBC connection dialog did not display existing DNS, and the OLE DB connection dialog kept spinning, preventing the creation of new connections. The solution was to create the connections in DLE. Both issues stemmed from calls returning different data shapes (enigma vs engine), which interfered with the connectors' functionality. This issue has been resolved.
QCB-31377	Multi Cloud Setup Console: Security update for Axios library	We've implemented a security update for the Multi Cloud Setup Console by upgrading the Axios library to version 1.8.2. This update addresses known security vulnerabilities (CVE-2023-45857 and CVE-2024-39338) that were present in the previously used version.
QCB-31336	Charts: Removed misleading clickable arrows from dimension labels	We've resolved an issue where dimension under the chart axis displayed clickable arrows that shouldn't have been there. These arrows incorrectly suggested that users could drill down into the dimensions. The fix removes these misleading visual elements, providing a clearer and more accurate representation of the chart's functionality.
QCB-31299	Engine disconnects from web applications when response data exceeds size limit	Two new settings have been introduced: SuppressVariableItemsInBookmarkLayout: When set to a non-zero value, this setting prevents variables from being included in bookmark layouts. This addresses a specific case where large bookmark data could cause disconnections. MessageSizeLimit: This setting allows you to set an upper limit (in bytes) on the size of response messages sent over the JSON RPC protocol. The default value is INT32_MAX - 1000 (approximately 2 GB). If the response data exceeds this limit, an error response with the code -32604 will be returned instead of causing a disconnection.
QCB-31249	Qlik Sense Data Manager: Virtual proxy prefix was missing on /qrs/appcontent-related requests	The virtual proxy prefix was missing on requests related to /qrs/appcontent. As a result, a login dialog was displayed when uploading and deleting files in Data Manager. This has been fixed so uploading and deleting files no longer requires an additional login.
QCB-31187	Data Manager: Restored functionality of custom association preview	This error was caused by an update of the listbox. The fix makes the associations dialog work with the newer nebula listboxes. We've resolved an issue where the custom association preview in Data Manager was not functioning correctly. This problem occurred due to updates to the listbox component. The fix ensures that the associations dialog now works properly with the updated listbox.
QCB-31172	KPI Objects: Fixed color control display in property panel	We've resolved an issue where color controls in the property panel were sometimes missing for KPI objects with conditional colors enabled.
QCB-31142	Charts: Fixed "Show Value" functionality for dimension reference lines	We've resolved an issue where the "Show Value" option wasn't working correctly for dimension reference lines in charts.
QCB-31135	Containers: Resolved export issue for objects	We've fixed an issue that was preventing proper export of certain objects within containers. Specifically, the export to Excel functionality for pivot tables in containers now works correctly on small devices. This improvement ensures that users can successfully export data from these objects regardless of the device size they are using.
QCB-31131	Qlik Engine: Collapse after Expand All leaves an empty residual row in Pivot Table	Fixed a problem with collapsing a dimension after clicking on "Expand All" in a Pivot Table, which caused an empty residual row to remain visible.
QCB-31101	Sheet navigation for anonymous users	There was an issue where anonymous users could not navigate between sheets using the sheet buttons. This has been fixed.
QCB-31031	Reload Script download in Hub	Reload Script download was throwing error with introduction to xrf-key. We have introduced xrf-key in the reload script download URL.
QCB-30903	Responsiveness in Text & Image objects in stories downloading to PowerPoint	Fixed an issue where the text responsiveness in a Text & Image object did not behave correctly when downloading a story to PowerPoint.
QCB-30812	Chart View Data: Fixed Table Styling Issue	We've resolved a styling issue in the View Data feature for charts. Previously, when users selected "View Data" for a chart, the resulting table would incorrectly inherit styling properties from copied measures. This could lead to unexpected or inconsistent table appearances. With this fix, the View Data table now displays with its intended styling.
QCB-30758	Geo Analytics: After upgrade to Qlik Sense Nov 2024 the GA Plus connection hangs	After upgrading to Qlik Sense November 2024, the Geo Analytics Plus connection would indefinitely show "Please wait - analyzing the selected data". This was due to an issue in the field selection dialog which has been fixed.
QCB-30736	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Problems displaying URLs with + character in straight tables	The "+" character was encoded in links for the straight tables causing problems when displaying URLs. We stopped encoding this character so the URL will use the + character now.
QCB-30680	Straight Table: Japanese Translation for Chart Exploration Fixed	We've resolved a translation issue in the Qlik Sense visualization bundle. Previously, the Chart Exploration feature in the straight table was not correctly translated into Japanese.
QCB-30670	Base Map: Enhanced character interpretation from OpenStreetMap	We've improved the interpretation of characters in the base map sourced from OpenStreetMap. This enhancement prevents certain characters from being displayed as '?' symbols.
QCB-30616	Task Chains: Updated behavior for distribution tasks	We've updated how distribution tasks behave in task chains. Now, distribution tasks will trigger the next task as soon as they reach the Queued state, even if the app distribution later fails. This change only applies when the next task is configured to run on Task Succeeded. This new behavior differs from other task types, such as reload tasks, which continue to trigger the next task only when they reach the Success state.
QCB-30152	Bookmarks: Fixed CreateBookmark API for Analyzer users	Fix: Analyzer user has hard coded implementation that allows only small case "bookmark". Making CreateBookmarAPI case insensitive in QRS. Previously, Analyzer users were unable to create bookmarks using the CreateBookmark API due to case sensitivity issues. This has been fixed, and the API now works correctly regardless of the case used in the 'bookmark' parameter.
QCB-29696	Ensure that there is no attempt to try to open or write files outside whitelisted folders	Fixed security issue where Engine would try to read and write to any path specified against Engine API. Solution of the fix adds path restrictions (with whitelisted folders) on e.g. OpenDoc and ExportApp, and restrictions to how relative paths are used in folder connections and lib references in the script. Relative paths should not be allowed to point outside of the scope set. It's not recommended to disable this fix, but can be disabled in case of emergency. To disable the fix, you need to add EnableQvfPathValidation=0 into Engine's Settings.ini file.
QCB-28088	Qlik Sense: Updated jQuery library to version v3.7.1	The jQuery used in "plant template" extension was outdated and affected by a vulnerability. This has been resolved by updating the jQuery library to version 3.7.1.
QCB-27979	ODAG links with a pipe character as domain/user separator	Fixed ODAG links for users that has a pipe character as a domain / user separator.

 

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.

QCB-31256	Unnamed scripts not saved in script history	Previously, unnamed scripts edited for the first time on a new day were saved in the script history. This behavior was unintentionally changed, but has now been restored. In the Data Load Editor and Script Editor, if an unnamed script is edited for the first time on a new day, that new version will be saved and available in the script history.
QCB-31333	Script Editor: Fixed excessive script history saving	The Script Editor was saving every script change to the history, leading to an excessive number of script versions being created  (i.e., SUPPORT-963). This has been resolved by optimizing the logic to only save a new version when changes are made on a new day (i.e., SUPPORT-818).
QCB-31344	Charts: Fixed intermittent session loss when switching tabs	Users experienced session disconnections when navigating between tabs containing bar charts and popup labels. This issue has been resolved.
QCB-31392	Insight Advisor: Performance delays when typing rapidly	In certain apps, Insight Advisor experienced performance delays when users typed very rapidly and frequently used the backspace key without pressing Enter. To resolve this issue, Insight Advisor will no longer highlight search results if the search contains 200 or more characters.
RDL-57	Tab Container: Corrected Japanese translation for icon alignment options	Users working in Japanese will now see correct translations for 'Start' and 'End' options when aligning tab icons in the tab container.
QCB-31172	KPI Objects: Fixed color control display in property panel	We've resolved an issue where color controls in the property panel were sometimes missing for KPI objects with conditional colors enabled.
QCB-31187	Data Manager: Restored functionality of custom association preview	This error was caused by an update of the listbox. The fix makes the associations dialog work with the newer nebula listboxes.   We've resolved an issue where the custom association preview in Data Manager was not functioning correctly. This problem occurred due to updates to the listbox component. The fix ensures that the associations dialog now works properly with the updated listbox.
QCB-31320	Issue with editing selections for datasets in folders added via Catalog	When editing selections in Data Manager for datasets added to an app from folders in the Catalog, the table was displayed as empty. This issue has been resolved by improving how paths are parsed to support datasets in Catalog folders.
QCB-31397	Published Apps: Removed app settings from menu	We've fixed an issue where app settings appeared in published app menus, causing errors when accessed. These settings have been removed, streamlining the menu and preventing user confusion. Published apps now display only relevant options.
QCB-31448	App sharing: Fixed privilege assignment for users in multiple groups	We've resolved an issue related to app sharing privileges when an app is shared with multiple groups. Previously, when a user belonged to multiple groups with different roles, there was a risk of the user receiving the lowest level of privileges among those groups.      With this update, we've implemented a more robust privilege assignment system to ensures that users have appropriate access to app features and functionalities as intended by the app sharing settings.
QCB-31513	Parquet Files: Improved Handling for Empty Files	We've updated how we handle Parquet files with no data. Previously, attempting to get data encoding for empty Parquet files (those with 0 row groups) could trigger an error in Arrow Parquet. Now, for these empty files, we keep the encoding as "Unknown" instead of trying to determine it. This change prevents errors when processing empty Parquet files.
QCB-31620	Template Editor: Fixed issue with adding tables containing duplicate column names	We resolved an issue with templates where users were unable to save or preview templates after adding a table with duplicate column names. This was fixed.

Resolved Defects

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

QB-28269	Qlik Engine: Failure during creation of hosted QVD files results in cancellation of the request	Fixed a problem that caused errors during file creation to go unreported to qix-datafiles. This would cause uploads of corrupted files with 0 bytes to be incorrectly reported as successful, and subsequent access to these files resulting in "Unsupported or bad format in QVD file." error. Now, the engine will cancel the upload request.
QB-26358	Visualizations: Text and scroll bars disappear in a text object	Fixed a problem where in a text object, the text would disappear when scrolling, and scroll bars were unavailable to scroll back up. Additionally, scrollbars have been implemented to ensure proper visual feedback when scrolling, allowing users to view and navigate the content smoothly.
QCB-22148	Unable to share Direct Query ODAG app	Executing "Generate new app" with another user than the selection app owner failed.
QCB-29803	Blank text objects in reports	Fixed issue with text objects sometimes not being rendered in pdf and image reports.
QCB-30570	Sporadic calls to data file read/write operations failed due to internal mongo connection pool issue	For a small number of customers, app reloads and other tasks reliant on data file read/write operations were failing. This was resolved.
QCB-30736	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Problems displaying URLs with + character in straight tables	The "+" character was encoded in links for the straight tables causing problems when displaying URLs. We stopped encoding this character so the URL will use the + character now.
QCB-30914	Data Manager: Summary Output shows only one QVD when exporting same-named QVDs to different spaces	Fixed an issue where data lineage information was not properly generated when loading data into QVD files with the same name across multiple spaces. This resulted in incomplete lineage data for some QVD files.
QCB-31044	Qlik Cloud Reporting: Tabular Reporting recipient list does not load if the user has an Analyzer license	A user with analyzer entitlements did not have update privileges on an app in a managed space. Now update and export privileges are used to determine if a user has access to an app in a managed space.
QCB-31131	Qlik Engine: Collapse after Expand All leaves an empty residual row in Pivot Table	Fixed a problem with collapsing a dimension after clicking on "Expand All" in a Pivot Table, which caused an empty residual row to remain visible.
QCB-31274	Qlik Data Flows: Improved automatic field renaming	Previously, any time a field was created with a name that had been used in the same data flow, it would automatically be renamed. This could cause counter-intuitive output in following processors, especially in cases when this occurred before a union, preventing fields from being merged correctly.  The renaming logic has been updated to never rename fields that are explicitly named by users. Fields with automatically generated names will be renamed if there is already a column with the same name in the table.
QCB-31274	Qlik Data Flows: Improved automatic field renaming	Previously, any time a field was created with a name that had been used in the same data flow, it would automatically be renamed. This could cause counter-intuitive output in following processors, especially in cases when this occurred before a union, preventing fields from being merged correctly.     The renaming logic has been updated to never rename fields that are explicitly named by users. Fields with automatically generated names will be renamed if there is already a column with the same name in the table.
QCDI-447	All replication application consumption are assigned as Snowflake target only.	The solution was to fix the telemetry model to add all other target types to the model.

Known Issues and Limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but includes all known major issues and limitations.

• User should use the same URL to access Qlik Alerting as the one used in External Product Sign-On in QMC.
• User should use the similar URL to access the Qlik Alerting which is used in External Product Sign in QMC. i.e., if it is configured using machine_name or IP/api_endpoints then one should use the same machine_name or IP while accessing the alerting server to setup the SSO.
  
  For example, in QMC if we have entries as https://domainname:4552/api/users/authQXSession then we should have accessed Qlik Alerting like https://domainname:4552 this instead of https://localhost:4552.
• There are some scenarios where it requires to make some virtual proxy settings for the new Security Approach taken by Qlik Alerting Extension. Please refer the documentation for configuration of virtual proxy and settings as mentioned in the document as there are some limitations on the Forms authentication.

 

General

• There are some instances where special characters in the virtual proxy prefix for Qlik Sense are not recognized. For example, the test data d/e/v for a virtual proxy prefix is not supported.
• When an alert, which is linked to a Qlik Sense application, is shared with a user who does not have access to the application, the accept link in the email results in an error message. The record is created and displayed in the user’s list of alerts. However, it will not trigger because it cannot connect to the application with that user’s credentials.

 

Web User Interface

The mobile app does not currently switch to landscape mode when the device is turned horizontally.

• Datetime fields are presenting differently in different browsers. This is the default behavior of the browser, but it might be difficult for a user to understand. For example, the format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI: SS in Safari.
• In some browsers, the table is not refreshed when an alert is duplicated. You can refresh the browser and the new record with be shown with (copy)next to it.

 

Qlik Alerting Mobile Application

There seem to be some scenarios where the deep links to Qlik Sense mobile (QSM) or to the browser (where QSM is not installed) do not work fully. This could, for example, be caused by special characters in the dimension name.

• The mobile app deep links to Qlik Sense Mobile do not work correctly on the iPad Pro iOS.

The list of time zones is updated to IANA 2024b.

Qlik NPrinting Repository (PostgreSQL) updated

Jira issue ID: QB-30635

The Qlik NPrinting Repository service version of PostgreSQL is upgraded to 13.18-1

Resolved Defects

Internal server error (500) when trying to open Qlik NPrinting Designer

Jira issue ID: QB-30815

The error message "HTTP call error sending request...InternalServerError (500)” appeared when trying to edit any report in Qlik NPrinting Designer in an installation with approximately 65,000 or more user filters.

Customized session expiration time was not applied correctly

Jira issue ID: OP-96057

The customized value of the parameter session.expires in the webconsoleproxy.app.conf configuration file was not applied correctly by the Qlik NPrinting proxy after the Qlik NPrinting May 2023 Initial Release.

Password change experience improved

Jira issue ID: QB-31068

The changing password experience via user interface executed by a user with the related privilege was improved.

Password changes via users import task are excluded.

The first native Excel formula was modified

Jira issue ID: OP-10085

The first Excel native formula in a template was modified during the report generation resulting in incorrectly displayed data. The following formulas were calculated correctly.

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.

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 SR7.

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 SR7.

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 SR7 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.

• 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 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.

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.

What’s New

PixelPerfect templates migration to Qlik Cloud Reporting

You can now export PixelPerfect templates in the QPXP format to be imported in Qlik Cloud Reporting. Only single connection templates will be exported.

Exported templates containing items not supported in QCS must be validated after import. Refer to the Migration Center for a list of supported and unsupported features. Reports with unsupported items may render incorrectly if distributed on QCS without validating the template after upload.

Improvements

Time zones updated to 2024b

Jira issue ID: OP-96047

The list of time zones is updated to IANA 2024b.

Qlik NPrinting Repository (PostgreSQL) updated

Jira issue ID: QB-30635

The Qlik NPrinting Repository service version of PostgreSQL is upgraded to 13.18-1

Resolved Defects

Internal server error (500) when trying to open Qlik NPrinting Designer

Jira issue ID: QB-30815

The error message "HTTP call error sending request...InternalServerError (500)” appeared when trying to edit any report in Qlik NPrinting Designer in an installation with approximately 65,000 or more user filters.

Customized session expiration time was not applied correctly

Jira issue ID: OP-96057

The customized value of the parameter session.expires in the webconsoleproxy.app.conf configuration file was not applied correctly by the Qlik NPrinting proxy after the Qlik NPrinting May 2023 Initial Release.

Password change experience improved

Jira issue ID: QB-31068

The changing password experience via user interface executed by a user with the related privilege was improved.

Password changes via users import task are excluded.

The first native Excel formula was modified

Jira issue ID: OP-10085

The first Excel native formula in a template was modified during the report generation resulting in incorrectly displayed data. The following formulas were calculated correctly.

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.

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.

What's new in Qlik Alerting November 2024 Initial Release

 

New Feature

Qlik Alerting now enables Extended CSRF protection, making it compatible with Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2024 and later versions.

 

Compatibility with related products

Recommended version of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows is May 2023 or later.

For a detailed and updated list of supported mobile operating systems, devices, and compatibility with Qlik Sense Enterprise, please refer to Qlik Sense system requirements and supported browsers on help.qlik.com.

 

Known Issues and Limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but includes all known major issues and limitations.

• User should use the same URL to access Qlik Alerting as the one used in External Product Sign-On in QMC.
• User should use the similar URL to access the Qlik Alerting which is used in External Product Sign in QMC. i.e., if it is configured using machine_name or IP/api_endpoints then one should use the same machine_name or IP while accessing the alerting server to setup the SSO.
  
  For example, in QMC if we have entries as https://domainname:4552/api/users/authQXSession then we should have accessed Qlik Alerting like https://domainname:4552 this instead of https://localhost:4552.
• There are some scenarios where it requires to make some virtual proxy settings for the new Security Approach taken by Qlik Alerting Extension. Please refer the documentation for configuration of virtual proxy and settings as mentioned in the document as there are some limitations on the Forms authentication.

 

General

• There are some instances where special characters in the virtual proxy prefix for Qlik Sense are not recognized. For example, the test data d/e/v for a virtual proxy prefix is not supported.
• When an alert, which is linked to a Qlik Sense application, is shared with a user who does not have access to the application, the accept link in the email results in an error message. The record is created and displayed in the user’s list of alerts. However, it will not trigger because it cannot connect to the application with that user’s credentials.

 

Web User Interface

• The mobile app does not currently switch to landscape mode when the device is turned horizontally.
• Datetime fields are presenting differently in different browsers. This is the default behavior of the browser, but it might be difficult for a user to understand. For example, the format is YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MI: SS in Safari.
• In some browsers, the table is not refreshed when an alert is duplicated. You can refresh the browser and the new record with be shown with (copy)next to it.

 

Qlik Alerting Mobile Application

• There seem to be some scenarios where the deep links to Qlik Sense mobile (QSM) or to the browser (where QSM is not installed) do not work fully. This could, for example, be caused by special characters in the dimension name.
• The mobile app deep links to Qlik Sense Mobile do not work correctly on the iPad Pro iOS.

Resolved Defects

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

QB-30502	Qlik Cloud: 'Reload failed' warning icon no longer takes to the Reload history	Fixed an issue where clicking 'Reload failed' warning icon on app's card in 'Tile view' would fail to redirect to 'Reload history' of that app and would cause a error 400
QB-30949	Make soft patches more compact and portable to fix frozen stories	Frozen slides might happen while playing stories that contain Bookmark patches created for every value in an array. It is recommended to always create a replace patch for an array that has changed by a soft patch, rather than several patches on the elements of the array.
QB-30421	Qlik Sense: Error when downloading a PDF report using qlik-embed	When using qlik-embed to embed a classic/app the PDF preview was not working when exporting (or downloading) a chart, and returned a 401 error (Access denied). This was solved by ensuring requests for the iframe include authentication information.
QB-30332	Jumping from a chart before the correct one when selecting alternative dimensions or measures	The UI would jump before focusing on the correct chart when selecting alternative dimensions or measures on a sheet page with scrollbar. This has been fixed by applying a focus on the correct chart.
QB-30293	Qlik Sense: Broken color properties when copying and pasting a master measure to a KPI	If a master measure with 'Segment colors' enabled was copied from a Multi-KPI object or a bar chart, and pasted in a KPI object, the 'Conditional colors' menu would not displayed correctly for the KPI object.  With this fix, by properly applying the initial properties of the measure when pasted, the color options work properly.
QB-30240	Qlik Reporting: Text objects styling not working when exporting stories	The style of text objects on stories, like the font size, was not correctly applied to exported PDF reports. This has been fixed and the PDF output now has the correct styles applied.
QB-30159	Updating Mapchart Show Layer always updates the first layer	When clearing a Show Layer checkbox, it would clear the other Show Layer checkbox. It has been fixed by applying a unique ID to each checkbox.
QB-30073	Qlik Application Automation: Double spaces not supported in automation editor input fields	When entering a string with double space characters in a input field in Qlik Application Automation editor, the double spaces would be removed, only keeping one. This fix now allows input fields to handle multiple space characters.
QB-29839	Qlik Cloud Visualizations: Cannot edit apps with custom themes	Fixed a problem that prevented editing apps with custom themes. This was due to undefined properties in theme.json, causing it to crash. Sanity checks have been added to determine if the properties exist before use.
QB-29766	Subscription not sent - Scheduled time shown is in the past	Fixed an issue, and made multiple additional optimizations, related to scheduled subscription tasks not being executed.
QB-29658	When replacing some files, the confirmation dialog did not appear or an error displayed	When replacing some files, the confirmation dialog did not appear in Data manager. This happened when file names included special characters. In Data load editor and Script, an error displayed when attempting to replace files, sometimes without special characters in file names. Each of these issues was due to file names being encoded twice. These issues were resolved by ensuring file names are encoded only once.
QB-29563	Qlik Cloud: Error when using FileList calls in load scripts	Fixed an issue with FileList calls in load scripts that resulted in errors when retrieving large lists of data files using wildcards.
QB-29369	Qlik Cloud Alerting Services: Scrollbar is not visible if measure is long	Fixed a problem that caused measures with long names to overflow the Alert dialog.
QB-29331	Qlik Sense: Apps moved to shared space after reload failure	When a reload failed or was aborted, the generated app would disappear from the user's personal space and moved to the shared space where the template app was located. With this fix, the app is either deleted or moved to the personal space.
QB-29262	Qlik Cloud Services: SAML IdP Name ID format not saved	When creating an interactive SAML IdP configuration in Qlik Cloud, the Name ID format selected would not be saved properly and thus not reflected in the service provider metadata. The issue has been fixed.
QB-29242	Qlik Engine: Selections discarded when distributing QlikView files to the Cloud	Fixed a problem that caused QlikView objects to be incorrectly distributed if the resource type was wrong. A new access rule solves this issue and includes the objects in the app.
QB-29039	Qlik Cloud Services: "Basic users" turn to "Full users" by viewing shared notes	An error prevented basic users from reading shared notes, and would upgrade them to full users to bypass the situation. Basic users can now access and read notes from a managed space as intended.
QB-28561	Qlik Data Prep: History panel does not retain changes	Fixed a problem where the History panels in DLE and Script editor did not persist renamed scripts. Now, the following behavior can be seen in the History panels of both DLE and Script editor:    • When a script is updated, the timestamp is the most recent date/time in memory.   • If the history is retrieved from stored browser files, cached data may be returned with an old date.   • History should be re-fetched if the latest script includes a version message.
QB-28396	Qlik Cloud Alerting Services: Deleting a filter causes a corruption	Fixed a problem where a reporting task would fail to open after deleting the applied task-level filter.
QB-28269	Qlik Engine: Failure during creation of hosted QVD files results in cancellation of the request	Fixed a problem that caused errors during file creation to go unreported to qix-datafiles. This would cause uploads of corrupted files with 0 bytes to be incorrectly reported as successful, and subsequent access to these files resulting in "Unsupported or bad format in QVD file." error. Now, the engine will cancel the

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 still noted as deprecated in this release:

• Qlik AYLIEN News Connector V2
• Qlik Amazon S3 Connector
• Qlik MeaningCloud Connector

No connector is removed in this release.

Known issues and limitations

IP v6 addresses are not supported when you enter an IP v6 address for the purpose of white listing.

Resolved Defects

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

QB-29394	Qlik Sense: Multiple selections not working with qlik-embed	Fixed a problem that caused the input options in the qlik-embed tag for selections to be incorrectly handled when added to the classic/app URL in the iframe loading the UI.
QB-26994	Blank page when trying to edit connection in Data Integration	Data Integration is now filtering out Analytics connections.
QB-27393	Visualizations: Filter pane selection options are not displayed	Fixed a problem where expanding a filter pane caused the buttons for making different selection options (such as more, clear selection, cancel, and confirm) were not displayed.
QB-27623	"Show totals above" option is missing when converting native Pivot table to Pivot table (Visualization bundle)	An issue was identified in which the "Show totals above" option" is not shown when converting a native Pivot table to the Pivot table from the Visualization bundle. The issue has been resolved by adjusting a setting for indent mode.
QB-28443	Qlik Cloud: Set union operator gave incorrect values in reports	Resolved an issue where the set expression union operator could return incorrect values during report generation when used inside a P() or E() function. The second set in the union could be masked out when the functions evaluated the possible or excluded values.
QB-29655	Qlik Cloud Services: Basic user cannot create bookmarks	A bug prevented Basic users, with the "has restricted view permission", to create bookmarks. All users with "read" access to an application can now create bookmarks.
QB-29938	Qlik Cloud Services: Unable to export images from mashup applications	An issue prevented the export of visualizations embedded in a mashup application to images and PDFs, resulting in the following error: "Something went wrong - Please try again". The issue is now fixed and images can be downloaded.
QB-29985	Qlik Cloud Services: Error with files added via drag and drop	Previously, when adding a file to the Data Manager with drag and drop, editing it, and using drag and drop to send it to the Data Manager again, an error would occur. This was due to an incorrect file name when calling the API. Some checks have been added to make sur the correct file name is now used, resulting in a prompt to replace your file with the edited version, which is the expected behaviour.
QB-28485	Qlik Cloud: Downloading sheet as PDF fails sometimes	Resolved an issue where sheet exports failed due to improper reuse of session objects.
QB-30132	Qlik Cloud Services: Unable to load or refresh large sized QVDs with Script in Qlik Cloud	A bug caused scheduled reloads to fail while refreshing or reloading from the Script for large QVDs (10 GB or more) with the message: "The memory limit for the request was reached". It has been fixed.
QB-30883	Navigation issue when switching panes in Assets panel of Insight Advisor	Fixed an issue where clicking 'Master items' in the Assets panel within Insight Advisor would instead take the user to the 'Fields' list.
QB-30816	Qlik Sense: Scheduled reporting task is executed twice	Scheduled reporting tasks were unexpectedly executed twice, and the unwanted change that caused the issue has been reverted.
QB-30791	Qlik Cloud Hub: Incorrect space roles displayed\assigned when adding user as space member.	Resolved an issue where newly added space members were displayed with incorrect space roles. The actual roles as seen from the database and access control perspective were correct. However, under certain circumstances those incorrectly displayed roles could have also been persisted in the database. In addition, upon filtering on the 'Members' list for the newly added member, it could result in the 'Roles' column showing an empty value.
QB-30683	Qlik Data Prep: Data files folders not seen in data load editor and scripts	Data files folders were not visible in the data load editor or scripts because some enabled feature flags were not recognized upon initialization. This lead to failures when attempting to select datasets. Explicit checks have been added to address the issue.
QB-30613	Scheduled executions of report tasks are intermittently being missed	Fixed an issue where scheduled reload executions were sometimes not starting a reporting task execution. The issue was fixed by updates to the underlying services used to execute the tasks.
QB-30611	Qlik Sense: Issue with the usage of label expression in the dimension header of an alert	Using variables in label expressions to create alerts on a dimension would not return the correct information. The issue was fixed and variables can now be used for the measure headers and dimension headers alike.
QB-30580	Qlik Cloud Visualizations: Geometries using the EPSG:5514 coordinate system not projected right	This fix solves the issue of geometries in the EPSG:5514 not being projected correctly when transformed to EPSG:4326. For example Czech geometries would end up near the south pole.
QB-30547	Visualizations: Cannot drag-and-drop after opening variables	Fixed a problem that would block the grid when opening the assets panel from the variables dialog.
QB-30523	Report task executions are intermittently being missed	Fixed an issue where scheduled report task executions were sometimes not starting as scheduled. The issue was fixed by updates to the underlying services used to execute the tasks.
QB-30506	Random failures occurring for report tasks	Fixed an issue where report tasks configured to run upon app reload were sometimes failing. The issue was fixed by updates to the underlying services used to execute the tasks.

What's new in Qlik Connector for use with SAP NetWeaver v8.1.0

General

Potential BREAKING CHANGE:
The BEx Connector and the InfoProvider Connector have been removed. The BW Connector is fully compatible and should be used instead.

The SAP Connectors have been updated with general bug fixes and improvements, specifically error handling has been improved when some SAP objects raise uncaught errors.

 

BAPI Connector

• Update of .Net Framework to version 4.8.1
  
  

BW Connector

Extractor Connector

• Updated .Net Framework to v4.8.1
• One new script property: IGNORESYSID, which will send NULL as sysId when starting an Extractor job. Default is FALSE, to send the sysId. The property should be used only if a job gets an unknown timeout error or the following error message:
  "Unknown error in Receiver Loop: No transaction handler is installed. Unable to process tRFC/qRFC requests."
  Put the property in the script section next to e.g. UPDMODE or TFRMETHOD.
  Example:
  IGNORESYSID T // (T=true)
  
  

SQL Connector

• Updated .Net Framework to v4.8.1
• Reduced memory usage of metadata objects
  
  

Resolved Defects

Enhanced logging added to the SAP BW connector to improve information about authorization errors related to specific BW composite objects (8.0.3).

Resolved issue with some conversion routines not being carried out during the extraction jobs for some fields, resulting in incorrect formatting of data. This was updated in both SQL and BW connectors (8.0.3).

In SAP BW InfoProvider support for INT8 data types has been added (8.0.3).

BW Connector

General

• Improved error handling when an info provider returns no data due to an error
• SncSso always disabled when using SNC
• Removed help link from connect dialog in hub.
• Fixed sorting order for InfoProvider fields when fetching data

• Support dash ‘-‘ in InfoProvider condition values and be less strict in condition values requiring quoting ‘”’
• Allow ‘@‘ character in BEx query and from names
• Allow '&' char in BEx query variables
• Support '.' dot characters in BEx variable values
• Allow spaces for variable values in BEx queries
  
  

Extractor Connector

• In some cases, the SAP system couldn't find the transaction handler and there was a timeout as no packages were sent to the Qlik SAP Network Server Service
  
  

SQL Connector

• SncSso always disabled  when using SNC
• Fix bcd/packed number datatype handling, Convert to double in connector so regional settings doesn't impact how it's converted
• Removed help link from connect dialog in hub.

Resolved Defects

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

QB-27392	Visualizations: Reports are missing objects when custom theme is using custom font.	Resolved an issue where loading of the custom fonts in a theme was not properly awaited before reports were performed. After properly awaiting the font, loading reports are not missing objects anymore.
QB-27336	Qlik Cloud Administration: Navigation bar not clickable on Tenant encryption page	Resolved an issue where the navigation bar was not clickable on the Tenant encryption page.
QB-29673	Qlik Cloud Hub: Filtering in 'Favorites' does not work	Fixed an issue where filtering items under the 'Favorites' section of the Qlik Cloud hub did not work, resulting in all items being displayed.
QB-28915	Qlik Cloud: Objects missing when exporting a story as PDF	Resolved an issue where exporting stories and sheets would fail due to improper reuse of session objects.
QB-28939	Qlik Cloud: Japanese Kanji not rendered in exported PDF	Japanese Kanji were incorrectly rendered in exported PDFs, affecting titles and text content, despite the app being configured correctly with the "ja-JP" collation locale. This issue has been fixed.
QB-27327	Qlik Cloud: Inadequate contrast in DLE load Log	Updated the Data Load Editor (DLE) load log by changing the light grey color to a darker grey to enhance accessibility and meet contrast requirements for better readability.
QB-29359	Qlik Cloud Search: Unable to open apps and links from 'Search results'	Fixed an issue where clicking on a link to an app or a link from global 'Search results' would either fail to open the app or open an empty link.
QB-29065	Qlik Cloud: Race condition issue in reloads service	Resolved a rare race condition issue in the reloads service that caused reloads to exit abruptly at the start. The fix ensures that the service now waits for session requests to return before initiating the reloads.
QB-28513	AutoML: Incorrect routing key for OOM errors	Resolved an issue where the routing key for Out of Memory (OOM) errors was incorrectly set to "prediction.requested.error." This has been corrected to "prediction.error," allowing for accurate tracking of returnCode -9 and proper classification of OOM errors.
QB-27431	Qlik Cloud Hub: Combo chart appears blank when monitored from the hub	Fixed an issue where combo charts did not appear when monitored from the Qlik Cloud hub.
QB-27523	Qlik Cloud Administration: External consumption of analyzer capacity not shown	Analyzer capacity consumed by other deployments and regions has been added to the displayed measurement in the Administration activity center.
QB-27802	Qlik Cloud: Client crash when dragging fields in simplified authoring mode	Fixed a rare client crash that displayed the message "An error occurred" when dragging a field in simplified authoring mode, specifically when the sheet contained a master "Date picker" object.
QB-27298	Qlik Cloud: DLE and script editor failing when accessing script history for some users	Fixed an issue where the data load editor (DLE) and script editor would fail for some users when accessing script history. This occurred because the script history was using an incorrect locale for date/time formatting. If no default locale was set for the user, it was registered as null, causing the UI to fail.
QB-28408	Visualizations: Waterfall chart behaves differently when inside a layout container	Fixed a problem that caused the layout container to incorrectly handle ongoing selections when the show condition changed from true to false. This has been fixed and the behavior is now aligned with the tabbed container.
QB-29194	Qlik Cloud: Unable to edit subscriptions	Resolved an issue where the Edit subscription dialog did not appear when attempting to edit a sheet subscription.
QB-29401	Visualizations: Problem replacing invalid dimensions / measures master items	Fixed a problem where replacing dimensions or measures would sometimes fail if they were linked to a non-existing master dimension.
QB-27227	Bar chart label incorrect when the result is 1.95	Fixed floating error on formatting.
QB-29505	Qlik Cloud: User assigned Tenant Admin role does not see their user when assigning space roles	Resolved an issue where a user assigned Tenant Admin role via group membership would not find their specific user name (ID) when attempting to assign space roles.
QB-29009	Visualizations: Problems with sheet navigation	Fixed a problem that intermittently prevented opening apps, adding new sheets, and navigating existing sheets. This was solved by optimizing the reranking of sheets whenever there are rank conflicts.
QB-28822	Qlik Engine: Selections discarded when distributing QlikView files to the Cloud	Fixed a problem that caused QlikView objects to be incorrectly distributed if the resource type was wrong. A new access rule solves this issue and includes the objects in the app.
QB-29763	Qlik Cloud Hub: 'Monitoring chart' removed from collections after app reload	Resolved an issue where the 'Monitoring chart' would lose its association with collections it was added to (including 'Favorites') when an app it originated from was reloaded.
QB-28372	Qlik Engine: Intermittent cancellation of store/upload	Fixed a degradation that caused intermittent cancellations of data file store/upload during reload.
QB-29761	Qlik Cloud: Inaccurate 'Time zone' displayed for new users	For new QCS users who don’t have the 'preferredZoneinfo' property defined, the 'Time zone' value displayed in the hub's 'Profile' settings would incorrectly show a preset value, which was actually inherited from the browser. This could create inconsistency between UI and other services which in the absence of 'preferredZoneinfo' default to UTC time zone. The fix was to display blank value when not set.
QB-29608	Qlik Cloud: Replacing dimensions or measures fails in charts with modifiers	Resolved an issue where replacing dimensions or measures would sometimes fail if they were linked to a non-existing master dimension in charts using modifiers. This fix complements the solution provided for QB-29401, which addressed the issue for charts not using modifiers.
QB-29610	Qlik Engine: New optional parameter Hint for XIRR Aggregation function	When a Hint argument is provided, XIRR will pick the numerically closest valid answer it can find, which can be either a positive or a negative one. If no hint value is provided, it will always pick a positive solution before a negative one.
QB-28340	Qlik Cloud: Migration failure due to decryption issues with bookmarks	Fixed an issue where the key migration process failed when encountering corrupted bookmarks or other decryption errors. The engine has been updated to ensure that keys are migrated even when bookmarks cannot be read.
QB-29791	Qlik Data Prep: Error when updating data files in Data Load Editor	Fixed an encoding problem that caused the confirmation dialog to not appear when replacing files in Data manager. This happened when file names included special characters. In the Data load editor and Script editor, an error was displayed when attempting to replace files, sometimes without special characters in file names. These issues were resolved by ensuring file names are encoded only once.
QB-27983	Restrict send to excel option in contextual menu for "Has restricted View"	Users or groups with "Has restricted View" permission now have Send to excel option in contextual menu.
QB-27718	Qlik Cloud: Ascending and descending sorting not working in straight tables	Resolved an issue where the ascending and descending sort options for straight tables were not functioning correctly. Sorting has now been fixed to work as intended.
QB-29043	Qlik Engine: Distinct count on key fields incorrectly handling key subsets in reports	In reporting mode, a set expression with a distinct count over a key field was not always calculated correctly. The calculation outcome depended on the table load order and the subset relation of the key in the tables. The reporting calculation now builds an invariant and well-determined field and table state.

Tab container

The new tab container is an improvement the old container object with a new name and styling settings for labels, tabs and icons.

Selection bar improvements

• Labels: If the user has provided a label to a master dimension, then that label will be used rather than the field name in the underlying data model. This will improve usability and make it easier to create multilingual applications.
• Styling with custom themes: The selection bar can now be styled using custom themes. Style the selection bar and listboxes with custom definitions for the dataColors properties.

Context menu for visualizations

Introducing a new context menu for visualizations toggle in Qlik Sense, enhancing app customization and user experience by allowing flexible control over the context menu visibility within app properties.

Resolved Defects

November 2024 Patch 10

Key	Title	Description
QCB-31085	Expression Editor: Improved Focus Behavior in Sheets	We've enhanced the user experience when working with the Expression Editor in Sheets. Previously, users had to click inside the editor to activate the cursor and begin typing. With this update, the cursor is now automatically focused when opening the Expression Editor in a Sheet, allowing for immediate input.
QCB-31459	Anonymous Users: Insight Advisor Visibility Corrected	We've resolved an issue where the Insight Advisor button and service were visible to anonymous users with analyzer access in published app sheets, even when disabled. This stemmed from security requirement, prohibiting anonymous users from accessing variables. The fix ensures that when Insight Advisor is disabled, it's now properly hidden for anonymous users with analyzer access.
QCB-31377	Multi Cloud Setup Console: Security update for Axios library	We've implemented a security update for the Multi Cloud Setup Console by upgrading the Axios library to version 1.8.2.
QCB-31412	Security Update: Axios Upgraded to Address CVE Vulnerabilities	We've enhanced the security of our application by updating the version of Axios to mitigate known vulnerabilities existing in older versions. Fixed for Server only in this patch.
SUPPORT-1214	Updated version of Cayley	Qlik Sense November 2024 Patch 10 updates the version of Cayley to pick up recent patches.

 

November 2024 Patch 9

Key	Title	Description
QCB-31485	Security: Fixed issue with Extension resource rules using UPDATE and CREATE	After the November 2024 update, Extension resource rules using both UPDATE and CREATE permissions caused problems. We've improved rule validation, allowing flexible use of these permissions together or separately.
QCB-31467	Sense-Client: Improved error handling for large response messages	Added translated error message in Client for Engine error code (-32604), improving user understanding of large response message issues.
QCB-31299	Engine disconnects from web applications when response data exceeds size limit	Two new settings have been introduced: SuppressVariableItemsInBookmarkLayout: When set to a non-zero value, this setting prevents variables from being included in bookmark layouts. This addresses a specific case where large bookmark data could cause disconnections. MessageSizeLimit: This setting allows you to set an upper limit (in bytes) on the size of response messages sent over the JSON RPC protocol. The default value is INT32_MAX - 1000 (approximately 2 GB). If the response data exceeds this limit, an error response with the code -32604 will be returned instead of causing a disconnection.
FEC-33	Qlik-embed: Resolved rendering issue for classic charts	Fixed a rendering issue with classic charts in qlik-embed. Previously, charts using the "classic/chart" option failed to display due to a timing problem with translation strings. We've optimized the setup sequence to ensure translations are properly applied. Classic charts now render correctly.
QCB-31207	Proxy: Fixed certificate key validation for non-English languages	Previously, certificate key validation failed on systems with non-English operating system languages. This issue has been resolved, ensuring proper certificate key validation across all language settings.
QB-29516	App title missing in session log	The app title was missing in the session log when reload tasks failed.
RDL-57	Tab Container: Corrected Japanese translation for icon alignment options	Users working in Japanese will now see correct translations for 'Start' and 'End' options when aligning tab icons in the tab container.
SUPPORT-1113	Qlik Sense: Fixed Japanese translation for app styling	Fixed Japanese translation for "Context menu for visualizations" in app styling.

 

November 2024 Patch 8

Key	Title	Description
QCB-31331	Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Data Load Editor not loading data connections	Fixed a regression introduced with the May 2024 release of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. This error resulted in the server node ID of the engine used by the Data Load Editor not being communicated to backend services, which prevented the Data Load Editor from successfully loading, resulting in the display of a spinner control in place of the connection list in DLE. This occurrence was characterized by continuous traffic on the Qlik Engine web socket with the remote procedure calls to CreateSessionObject with a parameter value of 'LoadModelList'.

 

November 2024 Patch 7

Key	Title	Description
QB-29590	Restricted About APIs - proxy returns 302 for an anonymous access	Proxy redirects with 302(for authentication) for the below restricted APIs: /api/about/v1/systeminfo /api/about/v1/components /api/about/v1/thirdparty
QB-29696	Ensure that there is no attempt to try to open or write files outside whitelisted folders	Fixed security issue where Engine would try to read and write to any path specified against Engine API. Solution of the fix adds path restrictions (with whitelisted folders) on e.g. OpenDoc and ExportApp, and restrictions to how relative paths are used in folder connections and lib references in the script. Relative paths should not be allowed to point outside of the scope set. It's not recommended to disable this fix, but can be disabled in case of emergency. To disable the fix, you need to add EnableQvfPathValidation=0 into Engine's Settings.ini file.
QB-31031	Reload Script download in Hub	Reload Script download was throwing error with introduction to xrf-key. We have introduced xrf-key in the reload script download URL.
QB-31249	Qlik Sense Data Manager: Virtual proxy prefix was missing on /qrs/appcontent-related requests	The virtual proxy prefix was missing on requests related to /qrs/appcontent. As a result, a login dialog was displayed when uploading and deleting files in Data Manager. This has been fixed so uploading and deleting files no longer requires an additional login.

 

November 2024 Patch 6

Key	Title	Description
QB-30855	Qlik Sense: 404 error in browser console	This fix removes a bug where a 404 error was shown in the web browser developer tools when loading an app.
QB-31101	Sheet navigation for anonymous users	There was an issue where anonymous users could not navigate between sheets using the sheet buttons. This has been fixed.
QB-30758	Geo Analytics: After upgrade to Qlik Sense Nov 2024 the GA Plus connection hangs	After upgrading to Qlik Sense November 2024, the Geo Analytics Plus connection would indefinitely show "Please wait - analyzing the selected data". This was due to an issue in the field selection dialog which has been fixed.

 

November 2024 Patch 5

Key	Title	Description
QB-30779	Qlik Sense: Issue with locked fields and section access after reload	Fixes an issue where locking a selection in an app with a section access caused the field to be included in the section access after a reload or partial reload, and the only available values after the reload were the ones that have been locked.
SHEND-2285	Update node.js to the latest patch version with fixes	Qlik Sense November 2024 Patch 5 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches.
QB-30798	Non-deterministic subset of rows loaded from Parquet file	Fixed an issue where Parquet files would not load all rows for particular nested structures. The files had to contain a column with repeated pairs of data. Additionally, the number of repeats had to be changing over the file.
QB-31060	Qlik Sense: Qlik embed error when using a virtual proxy with prefix	Fixed a problem that occurred when embedding a UI with an iframe using a server with a virtual proxy prefix as host in the embed config. The problem was caused by fetching a javascript used to register a service worker without the virtual proxy prefix.

 

November 2024 Patch 4

Key	Title	Description
QB-30811	Fix for app thumbnail alt tag	The app thumbnail was missing an alt tag. Since the thumbnail is purely decorative, an empty alt tag has been added.
QB-30760	Selection bar contrast issue	In sheet view in an app, the background of the selection bar was dark enough to give the text low contrast. By brightening the background, the contrast has been increased, increasing readability of text.
QB-30629	Qlik Sense: Unable to open tables with empty header in Excel	Exporting tables to Excel while "Table formatting" is enabled but with an empty header definition would make the resulting file corrupted and unable to be opened in Excel. This issue has been fixed.
TLV-630	Sheet and Bookmarks accessible directly in Qlik Sense toolbar	'Sheets' and 'Bookmarks' have been re-added as items in the default configuration of the app toolbar. This setting can be configured by opening the app settings, and selecting 'UI settings'.

 

November 2024 Patch 3

Key	Title	Description
QB-30730	Qlik Engine: Display error for null date or time values in Excel	When exporting a table containing null date or time values from an app into Excel, those values would be displayed using the wrong character. The values were incorrectly exported as numerical data instead of dates but the issue has been resolved.
NLC-124	Qlik Sense: Issue with Insight Advisor Chat in Portuguese	In the context of a multi-cloud deployment, some modules and libraries were not loading correctly and created issues with the Insight Advisor Chat when set to languages other than English, such as Portuguese. Missing libraries now load properly.

 

November 2024 Patch 2

Key	Title	Description
QB-29911	Qlik Sense: Engine times out when calculating dimensions in large applications	When trying to allocate large chunks of the local heap (between 1.2 GB and 2.4 GB) a bug would cause an infinite loop that could hang the engine process. The bug has been fixed.
QB-30110	Qlik Cloud Services: Fuzzy search using Latin characters returns Chinese characters first	Searching a term in a file using Latin characters would return terms with Chinese characters first in the results, even though they don't match. This was due to non-ascii characters, such as Chinese, not being supported for fuzzy search. The bug has been fixed and searches should now return the expected results.
QB-29868	Visualizations: Adding access to clear all and delete buttons via keyboard	We have added the ability to navigate to the clear all and delete buttons using the keyboard, and announcing what they do through the screen reader.

 

November 2024 Patch 1

Multi-Language Support Available in Insight Advisor Chat
A drop-down button has been added that allows users in Insight Advisor Chat to change the language used when having natural language interactions. Supported Languages are here.

 

November 2024

Key	Title	Description
QB-29903	"Not found" error on file preview and reload for some SFTP connections.	Depending on SFTP server, some valid connections returned the "not found" error on selecting file on preview or file reloading. This degrade is now fixed.
QB-29610	Qlik Engine: New optional parameter Hint for XIRR Aggregation function	When a Hint argument is provided, XIRR will pick the numerically closest valid answer it can find, which can be either a positive or a negative one. If no hint value is provided, it will always pick a positive solution before a negative one.
QB-29492	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Variance Waterfall fails to export as PDF or image	Fixed a problem introduced with the February 2024 release which prevented the exporting Variance waterfall to PDF or image.
QB-29401	Visualizations: Problem replacing invalid dimensions / measures master items	Fixed a problem where replacing dimensions or measures would sometimes fail if they were linked to a non-existing master dimension.
QB-29232	Qlik Sense Visualizations: The 'More' menu in the filter pane displayed incorrectly	The 'More' menu in filter panes displayed incorrectly under other objects or the assets panel.
QB-29043	Qlik Engine: Distinct count on key fields incorrectly handling key subsets in reports	In reporting mode, a set expression with a distinct count over a key field was not always calculated correctly. The calculation outcome depended on the table load order and the subset relation of the key in the tables. The reporting calculation now builds an invariant and well-determined field and table state.
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-29018	Qlik Sense Engine: Incorrect library function used for deleting an element from object array	While updating the properties cache for DeleteChild operation, the library function used to remove an element from the childlist object array causes the last element to be moved to the deleted element index. This causes the original order of remaining elements to be changed. Fix is added to use the library function which preserves the order of remaining elements.
QB-29009	Visualizations: Problems with sheet navigation	Fixed a problem that intermittently prevented opening apps, adding new sheets, and navigating existing sheets. This was solved by optimizing the reranking of sheets whenever there are rank conflicts.
QB-28873	Qlik License: Captcha box not always visible on the the Signed License Definition	Fixed a problem where the Captcha box was not always visible on the Signed License Definition site.
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-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.
QB-28741	Qlik Sense Visualizations: The listbox 'More' menu for tables and pivot tables closed without changes	When selecting one of the options in the listbox 'More' menu, it closed without applying the changes. The selections are now applied correctly instead of closing the menu.
QB-28727	Visualizations: Not possible to search for bookmark	Now validating bookmark creation date before the formatting date.
QB-28658	Visualizations: Sheet styles not working for newly created apps	Fixed a problem where sheet styles did not persist on new apps. Properties are now bound to the visual elements which show the changes.
QB-28630	Visualizations: Incorrect position of data points on a line chart	Fixed a problem that caused data points to be incorrectly positioned on small screens or when zooming to 125%.
QB-28611	Qlik Engine: Lineage data API is not working when using Preceding LOAD	Fixed a problem where the /v1/apps/{appId}/data/lineage API returned an empty discriminator for Load From statements with a preceding load.
QB-28589	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Field titles missing in Chart Exploration	Alternative columns were initially shown without proper titles in the new Qlik Sense straight table's chart exploration. This happened during sheet editing and when users worked with the exploration feature to add and remove columns.
QB-28453	Qlik Sense Engine: Dynamic scripts in charts did not add or replace values in the correct rows	When evaluated in a chart, the dynamic scripts did not have access to the context information used to access the source rows. Therefore, they only used one row for all additions and replacements.
QB-28451	Qlik Sense Engine: Dynamic scripts were not evaluated when expected	The engine only checked if a chart contained expressions when determining if it should be evaluated as a table or a hypercube. This meant that any hypercube modifiers such as dynamic scripts were ignored if the chart did not contain an expression.
QB-28426	Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Amazon Redshift populating duplicate columns	This enhancement addresses an issue where duplicate columns were being fetched when schemas with the same name existed in both the external schema and the Datashare schema. Now, columns are retrieved only from the selected database schema, ensuring accurate data retrieval and eliminating duplicate columns.
QB-28406	Qlik Sense: Axios security issue	Fixed a security issue caused by Qlik Sense using an old version of Axios. The was resolved by updating the version of Axios used by Qlik Sense.
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-28392	Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Google Big Query Connector - Select dialog	Changing the catalog from dropdown did not refresh the list of databases.
QB-28299	Qlik Sense Engine: The Concat function resulted in a faulty lineage	In some cases, when the Concat function was used in combination with the FROM load statement, the Concat function did not add the correct sources for a field, resulting in an faulty lineage graph. The faulty graph assumed that the sources were present and therefore incremented an internal index, which resulted in incorrect relations between nodes. Support for the Concat function has been added for lineage and it will now properly add the sources.
QB-28201	Qlik Engine: Iterator is shown as a non-integer when using large values	Fixed a problem with the string conversion method used in a FOR loop, which caused formatting issues when handling large values.
QB-28142	Qlik Sense Engine: Missing privileges for connections	Fixed a problem where connections that were fetched using REST API were missing privileges. This would cause the Add data button to be missing from the connection Attached Files.
QB-27988	Qlik Engine: Syntax error on tab during script execution	Fixed a LOAD script parsing problem when the WHERE clause contains "(".
QB-27933	Qlik Sense: Date picker library is outdated	Updated momentJS to the latest version.
QB-27902	Qlik Sense Engine: Hypercube modifier REPLACE LOAD sourced data incorrectly and added rows to chart	When REPLACE LOAD was used in a dynamic chart script, it was using only one row for the source data regardless of the actual number of source rows. It also incorrectly added rows to the chart.
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-27754	Qlik Sense: CORS error blocks 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-27751	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Overflow on button labels was not displaying correctly with ellipses	The button labels were missing settings for text overflow. CSS settings were added and now the labels work as expected.
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-27639	Schedule reload task using custom schedule	When adding a custom filter, some valid format options produced an error.
QB-27632	Qlik Sense Engine: Incorrect format when exporting a table containing dates	When exporting a table containing dates to Microsoft Excel, the date fields were exported in numeric format, instead of formatted date/time. This has been fixed by treating unformatted date/time values as formatted Excel date/time fields, using default formats that adjust to the viewer's locale.
QB-27623	"Show totals above" option is missing when converting native Pivot table to Pivot table (Visualization bundle)	An issue was identified in which the "Show totals above" option" is not shown when converting a native Pivot table to the Pivot table from the Visualization bundle. The issue has been resolved by adjusting a setting for indent mode.
QB-27565	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Added sanity check for invalid column width values, preventing view data crashing	Possibly due to converting a table to a pivot table, the, the values stored in the pivot table properties for column widths were incorrect. When the view data mode was selected, those incorrect values caused the chart to crash. A sanity check has been added to prevent the crash.
QB-27477	Qlik Engine: Tables with the same expression show different results	Fixed a problem when SET analysis constraints did not correctly limit the number of rows in the hypercube, leading to inconsistent results for the same expression.
QB-27393	Visualizations: Filter pane selection options are not displayed	Fixed a problem where expanding a filter pane caused the buttons for making different selection options (such as more, clear selection, cancel, and confirm)  were not displayed.
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-27348	Qlik Enterprise Connectors: Invalid Session Token error 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.
QB-27277	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Data Manager custom association field preview not working	Fixed a problem that caused the preview of the custom association fields to stop working when selecting which fields to associate the tables with.
QB-27237	Qlik Sense: Custom Trigger with double digits causes custom filter validation error	Custom filter now allows the use of double digits for the hourly position for Tasks in the Qlik Management Console.
QB-27227	Bar chart label incorrect when the result is 1.95	Fixed floating error on formatting.
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-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-27008	Qlik Sense Visualizations: "Color by expression"  not working in a dimensionless barchart	Fixed an issue where you could not switch to "Color by expression" in a dimensionless barchart and instead it defaulted to single color.
QB-27006	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Incorrect CSS for overflowing content	When the content of a multi KPI could not fit in the height of the object, the data could end up inaccessible to users. By correcting the CSS, the data can always scrolled to the data.
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.
QB-26946	Qlik Mobile zooming issue	Prevented users from interacting with a chart in a small device if the browser is zoomed in.
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".
QB-26902	Qlik Sense Visualizations: The button object was unclickable in a mashup if the label was too long	Buttons with long labels are now clickable within a mashup.
QB-26880	Qlik Web Connectors: Files stored in a team folder are inaccessible through the Dropbox connector	A new connection parameter was added to access Dropbox team folders and files. The root parameter allows the selection of team root if it's available for authenticated users.
QB-26872	Qlik Sense Engine: Resolving issues from open app performance enhancements	There were some issues with connection deletion behavior after implementing performance enhancements for opening apps. These have been resolved.
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.
QB-26786	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Alternative measure & dimension dropdown was not updating correctly	The alternative measure & dimension dropdown did not update correctly when a user edited a chart. This issue has been fixed.
QB-26669	Qlik Sense Engine: Problem exporting straight table to Excel	Fixed a problem with handling the pre-generated format string for Euro during Excel export from the Qlik Engine.
QB-26657	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Qlik extensions lost custom properties after server restart	Three extensions did not have the version specified correctly: - sn-layout-container - sh-shape - sn-text The versions are now updated properly in all files for these extensions
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.
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-26530	Qlik Sense: Custom Cache Control settings not maintained with server reboot	Enhanced the Hub service to use a retry mechanism, allowing it to wait for the QRS API's /ContentCacheControl endpoint to respond.
QB-26504	Qlik Cloud Engine: Line Chart not showing all values for X-axis	Fixed an issue that would, in some apps, exclude the highest magnitude dimension value from a chart using a continuous x-axis. This could happen when the data point's x-axis value was encoded using more than the 15-digit precision used in the QIX Engine
QB-26486	Qlik Sense on Windows: Straight table columns unusable with auto width	Fixed a problem where columns in straight tables using auto width became unusable. The minimum width has been increased to 120px.
QB-26447	Visualizations: Some table column headers do not wrap	Due to an indexing error in the table code, the showing/hiding header icons and wrapping header text, were based on the wrong column. These calculations now use the correct index and the text wrap and icons are shown correctly.
QB-26407	Qlik Sense: Node.js updated	Node.js has been updated to version 18.20.4.
QB-26392	Qlik Sense on Windows: Failing requests to fetch custom brand spam console	Fixed a problem where requests specific to the Qlik Cloud Services offering were made on Qlik Sense Enterprise for Windows deployment causing the failing requests to spam the console.
QB-26205	Visualizations: Cannot rearrange columns in the new Straight Table	Fixed a problem where columns could not be rearranged in the new straight table if the table had conditional columns.
QB-26199	Visualizations: Undo button not working	Fixed a problem where the undo button was unresponsive after unlinking a master dimension.
QB-26192	Connection issues after access token expiration	Dependent connection parameters were not being properly passed when re-authenticating after access token expiration for several connectors, and the default values for these parameters were being used instead. This fix correctly passes in the necessary parameters. This issue affected the Azure Storage, MSCRM, OneDrive, Office365, and Outlook365 connectors.
QB-26106	Qlik Engine: HypercubeEvaluator calculation error	Fixed a problem in a hypercube calculation that returned a row even when the selection result was empty. After the fix now rows should be returned.
QB-26098	Scatter plot labels	Fixed a problem with the rendering of the scatter plot during changes in viewing data.
QB-25981	Incorrect translation: Japanese	Corrected the Japanese translation for "Sorting in search" when working with pivot tables.
QB-25920	Qlik Engine: Unable to filter text values of QVD in Data Manager	Fixed a problem where the filtering of a text field for QVD files was not working. If the field type was a string but the filter value was a number (for example: 1), the filter would not work. This has been fixed by forcing the columns to be interpreted as text.
QB-25909	Qlik Sense on Windows: Unsupported trigger time zone reported as (GMT + 0000)	This adds a fix for setting Daylight Savings Time to Permanent Standard Time if the time zone is not supported by the Qlik Management Console (QMC).
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-25773	Visualizations: Inconsistent behavior when pressing home/end keys	Fixed a problem that caused inconsistent behavior when pressing the home/end in the search listbox of a filter pane.
QB-25730	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. The inner set expression {<Field1=StateA::Field1>} will now read Field1 correctly from StateA even when an outer set expression is present.
QB-25031	Qlik Web Connectors: Unable to load data from Odata database via Qlik Odata connector	Fixed a problem where a "System.OutOfMemoryException" would be thrown if the OData connector returned a large response. This was solved by accepting smaller values in the Max depth parameter. Additionally, new tables have been added to retrieve information (V4GetSchemas, V4GetEntities, and V4GetProperties).
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.
QB-24997	Qlik Sense on Windows: Exception importing sheets to NPrinting May 2023	Fixed a problem on the main-web-container component shipped with QSEoW that caused NPrinting exports of extended Sense sheets to fail when a Sense app carded theme was used.
QB-24968	Qlik Web Connectors: Error when importing a table using the Qlik ODATA connector	Fixed a problem that caused an error ("Sequence contains no elements") when retrieving data from the JsonV4GetData table. With this fix, paces in path parameter values are now processed correctly.
QB-24536	Data Prep & Insights: Import from SharePoint fails with error message	For some connectors, the same QVD ID (file name) was generated for two table sources, resulting in an error message ("Data could not be added to Data Manager"). We have changed how the QVD ID is generated by adding a load statement and including it in the text to generate the hash.
QB-23881	Qlik Sense: User details exposed in WebSockets (CWE-200	Fixed a vulnerability problem where user details were exposed in WebSockets (CWE-200 information exposure). This was solved by hiding the owner data for Anonymous User Context in AppPropList and the Owner data in the Hub App Card for Anonymous User Context.
QB-23565	Improved HTTP header validation	Improved HTTP communication by providing additional header validations.

 

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.
• New/Updated - Android mobile devices: Customers using Android mobile devices via the Qlik Sense mobile app need to update their QSM-CM Android app to 1.30.1 which is now on play store.

 

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.
