Tell me how you can change and increase this waiting parameter (15000 m s), and how to fix the duration of execution (GlobalSearch) for uncached data, so that you can then compare it with the duration of cached data in the Scalability Results Analyzer application, and see the difference?

---

15000 is not the length of the timeout, it's the error code that comes from engine that the search took too long. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/November2021/Subsystems/EngineJSONAPI/Content/models-nxl...
i.e. LOCERR_SEARCH_TIMEOUT = 15000 which we translated to to clear text in the error message.

In other words this is a timeout server side, not tool side.

Hello, after reading the Deprecation Notice, is there a way to migrate existing scenarios to the 'new' Qlik Sense Enterpise Scalability Tools ?

Thx

[Daniel_Larsson]

Hi, no sorry currently there doesn't exist any migration tool for the scripts.

And just to re-iterate, there's ample time for migration, these tools will continue to receive updated for the entire year of 2022, after that they will likely continue to work, just not receive any updates.

My suggestion for migration path is to start doing new scripts with the "new" tools get familiarized if you haven't used them before. Then start migrating older scripts still in use at that point (e.g. cache-warming scripts etc) after having some experience with the new tools.

The tools do not have 100% feature parity with each other, so please report things you have an actual need for on the enterprise tools page in case it does not support it.

Hello Experts,

We have this scenario configured, but everytime that the test try to connect the 5th session, it fails. 

¿What could we doing wrong?

Usually it's a different error message, but since you are using NTLM (i.e all sessions using same user) this is most likely a licensing issue and not a script/ configuration issue. Most likely the NTLM user you are using (which is the one running the tool) has user access defined. User access only allows for 5 "simultaneous" logins and you are trying to run 20.

You have a few options to mitigate this.
1. Change to using header auth and simulate different users (each needs a way to consume tokens either through user acess or login access)
2. Change to using login access type which comsumes tokens in a bit different way

login access token consumption:

We had used the scalability tool before and we see it being replaced by the new enterprise version of the same. We installed this new one, and face an issue with being unable to find the authentication method that was present before - header based authentication.

In all over deployments we use header based authentication and this was the same method we had used with the earlier versions of the tool.

Could you please add support to the tool for header based authentication.

Hi,

You can read about how to use "header" authentication  on page 32 in the documentation, basically you set it to ws and configure the header.
