Fix your download site.

I seem to be only able to download patches for November 2024 yet February 2024 is also effected and you no longer seem to offer any download at all.

Edit: Ignore post. Had to do with a filter I overlooked.

Hi @Katie_Davis, thank you very much for the fix.

Thanks
Johann

Hello @oknotsen please clarify what you mean by "lack of options" for private and partner accounts.

@jchoucq We will continue to update the blog post with information as it becomes available

All the best,
Sonja

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

@onnoemergo the patches should still be available

Can you verify if you have selected the filter "Latest release and latest patch only"? This will restrict the filter to only show you November 2024 and its patch.

You'll want to select "All releases and patches" or "All releases with latest patch".

Example:

All the best,
Sonja

Ugh. I need to get my eyes fixed.

Alternatively: Can we get the download site changed to no longer have that "only show latest version" option selected as default? I rarely (if ever) install the latest version at a customer as most customers require me to install T-1 versions of software.

Would be nice if R&D RePack/build the patches.. ..do You?

Thank You in Advance,

FMa

Hello , 

After patching , both mentioned extensions (container and text) were available, but we were unable to upload new ones (inphinity) . 
After doing steps outlined in your fix, we were able to upload them and they are working.

Since yesterday's update (November 2024 Patch 1) we have the problem that the described workaroud (SAP Connector in Qlik Sense using Standard mode ) no longer works and we get the message that DDL cannot be found.

However, the files are all located unchanged in the corresponding position in the file directory.

Does anyone have a solution for this?
