ODBC Connector for Qlik Data Gateway

Hi,

One feature that is obviously lacking from Qlik SaaS is the ability to connect to data sources that do not have a supported connector and are only available via ODBC.

ONe way aroudn this problem is to run Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (QSEoW) or Qlik Data Transfer (QDT) to connect to these sources to extract and store the required data as QVD data files and then push them to SaaS via QDT.

With the arrival of the Qlik Data Gateway (QDG) we now have support for on-prem data sources that do have a supported connector however QDT/QSEoW and QDG cannot co-exist o nthe same server so we would need to have both a server running QSEoW/QDT and a separate server running QDG if we need to connect to some on-prem data sources that have supported connectors and some that do not.

Can ODBC Data Source access via QDG be enabled preventing the need for two separate servers for this use case.

Yes, the sooner the better and the ability for the gateway to access flat files. Both on the road map I believe but not having them is making life more difficult than it need be.

This would be superb - any rough ideas on delivery (this will give us access to ODBC via a Data Gateway, Direct Access connection yeah?)
