The following release notes cover the versions of QlikView released in May 2023.

What’s new in QlikView May 2023

QlikView Desktop using WebView2

QlikView Desktop has changed its rendering engine to WebView2. WebView2 is a modern Microsoft Edge based web technology replacing the previous WebView that was based in MS Internet Explorer technology.

 

TLS 1.3 support

TLS 1.3 support has been added to QlikView May 2023. With this support has been dropped of TLS 1.0 and 1.1. This means that QlikView supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.

 

Stronger encryption used

QlikView May 2023 now uses AES256 encryption instead of AES128. This is mainly used in the inter-service communication and means you must generate new keys if you are running your QlikView services with certificate trust.

 

Time Series breakdown functionality

Several new functions allow you to decompose a time series dataset into trend and seasonality. The trend function identifies direction in the data, and the seasonality function determines seasonality with a known periodicity. The residual function identifies variation that is not associated with seasonal or trend components (noise). With these functions, you now have increased visibility into the patterns and trends in your time series data so you can better plan future action.

 

Additional functions in the expressions

Additional functions from the Cephes library have been added, allowing you to perform more advanced statistical analysis of simulations

 

Improvement to customizations of the AccessPoint

When upgrading a system after having customized the AccessPoint, these changes will now persist across the upgrade.

 

Home button

A home button has been added to the AJAX client and the IE Plugin. This button takes you back to the AccessPoint.

 

Direct Discovery functionality disabled

Direct Discovery functionality has been disabled in QlikView May 2023. If you still need to use this, please contact Qlik support for information on how to enable it.

 

Notice of future depreciation – QlikView Mobile client

The support for the QlikView Mobile client will be removed in the next feature release of QlikView, currently planned for May 2024. You will still be able to use the Ajax client on both a phone and tablet, but the native application will be removed.

Upgrade notes

Upgrading when using certificates for authorization

 

If a standard Upgrade is done, new certificates will be created using the AES 256

GCM mode as part of the upgrade. Instructions for upgrading QlikView with new certificates mode (GCM) – Before implementing this, TLS 1.2 has to be enabled for QVS to work normally.

Perform the upgrade on all machines in the cluster.

After completion, the installer will ask you to restart the machine/s.

After restart and services are running, stop all the services and open "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service\QVManagementService.exe.config" and apply the following config:

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

If Services are clustered, all the cluster nodes also need the new certificate.

Add into resp config files for each (one on each node):

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

or

InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey=1 if QVS.

Start the QMS first and then rest of all services

In the QMC, go to the service’s System/setup, for example if QDS select the node and distribute the new certificates to QDS machine with Apply in setup and follow the popup instructions. Do this for one service om each node to distribute new certs mode. Stop QMS again and all services. Make above configuration false in all config/settings files

"<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="false"></add>".

Start all services. All machines in the cluster shall now have the new certs mode.

If you for some reason need to downgrade to the previous version again, follow this

Support Article to re-generate certificates using the old encryption algorithm.

What’s new in QlikView May 2023 SR1

 

Known issues:

QV-24977: Because of a critical issue with chart rendering in NPrinting reports we had to revert the fix QV-19899. This is a potential problem for servers with Enable Push from Server enabled since it can lead to reports failing. If this should occur, we recommend disabling Push from Server.

 

QV-24924: This is an issue that has been fixed, but as a consequence you now need to ensure that the previously entered URL under “Internet Explorer mode pages” in Edge needs to be removed before you re-add it. The file the IE Plugin uses is now a different one than previous.  The new URLs should all reference AccessPointIE.aspx if you use a default installation.

Resolved Defects

What’s new

New function for key driver analysis

The function MutualInfo() calculates the mutual information between two fields.

New option for container objects

It is now possible to hide tabs in the container object. The object will show the first non-hidden object.

Mekko chart total on top

The Mekko chart can now show totals on top of each segment stack.

QVF support

Support for the QVF file format was introduced already in the May 2021 version. With the May 2022 version the QVF format will be the default file format for new documents. The old QVW file format will still work and will be the default save format for existing QVWs.

If a server has two documents with the same base name but different extensions, the QVW will be inactivated. The meta and shared files will however be used also by the QVF.

There is no cross-compatibility between QlikView QVF files and Qlik Sense QVF files.

.NET

The QlikView Server services have been upgraded to .NET 4.8.

Persisted Doc Admin cache

Previously, the Doc Admin cache was just in memory and was erased if the QMS service was restarted. Now the cache is persisted in a database.

Email Alerts for the Tasks finished with warning

Previously, the QlikView Server have had the functionality to send an email alert if any of the tasks would fail on the reload. Now we have added possibility to also include tasks that finished with warnings.

Log collector tool

The 'Log collector' tool developed by the Qlik Support has now been integrated into the QlikView QMC. For a clustered environment, there are some limitations: Only the logs from QVS and QDS are collected.

Source document tracking

The user document, created in a Loop and Reduce process, now contains information about the task name and last execution time. This is found in the document support information.

Release notes QlikView May 2022 SR1

What’s new

Support for HSTS has been added for the QlikView Management Console

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks such as protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.

QlikView Desktop dialog box opens on existing monitor

In previous versions, a dialog opens off-screen if it at a prior time was used on a second monitor. This has now been changed. The dialog is now moved so that at least a part of it is visible on the existing monitor.

RC4 encryption can be turned off

There is now the possibility to disable the RC4 encryption and only use AES128. The benefit is stricter security, however with the limitation that the 'Open In Server' command cannot be used on some Windows versions due to limitations in these operating systems. This also prevents all use of the QlikView IE Plugin client on these operating systems.

To disable the RC4 encryption, you need to make changes in the configuration files. See the following support article: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Disable-RC4-stream-cipher-in-QlikView-May-2022-12-70-SR1-or/ta-p/1988220
