The Oracle Essbase for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows (client-managed) connector will reach end of life and is therefore no longer recommended for use.
When will the connector reach end of life?
The Essbase Connector will reach end of life beginning with the Qlik Sense Enterprise on WindowsMay 2027 release and will no longer be included in the installation package.
Earlier Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows releases that still include the Oracle Essbase connector are unaffected by this change and continue to be supported according to their normal lifecycle.
What does that mean for me?
Applications and data connections using the Oracle Essbase connector will stop working once an environment is upgraded to the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows May 2027 release. As a workaround, Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows supports connecting to systems that offer a REST API using the Qlik generic REST connector. Essbase exposes a REST interface that can be used as an alternative way to bring the same data into your applications.
