Hello Qlik Cloud Administrators,

The current version of Qlik Data Transfer (November 2022) will expire on the 28th of November 2024.

Your log files may already show the following information:

ABOUT TO EXPIRE: This engine is about to expire. Please upgrade to a newer version! Expiry date: 2024/11/28

Qlik Data Transfer will stop functioning after this date. 

How do I prevent downtime?

A new version of Qlik Data Transfer has been released (14th of November), which will guarantee continued functionality and support until its end-of-support date. The November 2024 release is available on the Download page and its release notes can be accessed in Qlik DataTransfer Release Notes - November 2024.

Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access

Whenever possible, Qlik recommends using Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access to load data from on-premise into a Qlik Cloud tenant. The supported databases, the Generic ODBC Connector Package, together with the upcoming support for loading on-premise files, can allow you to decommission Qlik DataTransfer servers (and potentially repurpose them for gateways).

For more information, see Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access.

Thank you for choosing Qlik,
Qlik Support

Hello @rzenere_avvale 

We are currently working on getting the download available on the download page. I will update this blog post as soon as this work is done to include instructions on how to find it.

Thank you for following up though!

Thank you  @Sonja,

I currently use Qlik Data Transfer to move my already created QVD files from my QlikView server to Qlik Cloud, and I use Qlik Data Gateway to extract information from databases.

In the future, will they stop supporting Qlik Data Transfer, or why do they recommend using Qlik Data Gateway?

La actualización es un proceso sencillo. Solo necesitas ejecutar el instalador, que automáticamente detectará la versión anterior. Luego, selecciona la opción de actualizar. En mi caso, el proceso tomó aproximadamente 30 minutos, y todas mis tareas se mantuvieron sin ningún problema.

The update is straightforward. You just need to run the installer, and it will automatically detect the previous version. Then, select the option to update. For me, the process took around 30 minutes, and it preserved all my tasks without any issues.
