The following connectors will be removed and are not recommended for further use:
- Amazon S3 Metadata
- Amazon S3: this is a “File location” connector
Instead, use the following connectors:
- Amazon S3 Metadata V2
- Amazon S3 V2: this is a “File location” connector
The connectors labeled with the suffix “V2” were introduced in 2022 and have since then been the recommended connectors for access to Amazon S3 buckets.
The V2 connectors access Amazon S3 buckets based on the AWS SDK for .NET Core, whereas the legacy S3 connectors were based on the REST API.
The plans to remove the legacy S3 connectors are as follows:
- Qlik Sense Cloud: by the end of April 2025
- Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: release May 2025
- Qlik Web Connector (standalone): release June 2025
The legacy S3 connectors and the S3 connectors “V2” have the exact same capabilities, and a migration will in most cases only require a new connection definition and an update in the connection name within the Qlik Script.
