Our Data Works for AI campaign opens with a fictional shoe retailer blindsided by a viral demand spike. The line that sticks: "We would love to ask AI. But our data doesn't work for AI."
That's the gap a lot of organizations live in. It’s not a lack of ambition, but a lack of trust in the data itself when it actually matters.
If something unexpected hit your business right now, would you trust the data you'd have to act on, or would your first instinct be to go double-check it somewhere else?
Tell us where that answer comes from. Is it the data itself, the systems it's coming from, or just years of experience?

Hi,
A client of hours has a set of tasks that write to Synapse. Every now and then, all downstream tasks experience a disconnection from the target, however tasks manage to recover and continue.
RetCode: SQL_ERROR SqlState: 08S01 NativeError: 10060 Message: [Microsoft][ODBC Driver 18 for SQL Server]TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond. [1022502] (ar_odbc_stmt.c:4737)
This happens on all downstream tasks writing to different instances of Synapse so I don't think it is a target endpoint issue. Rather I believe it could be something to do with the Qlik Replicate windows server. Also, it also looks like Qlik Replicate is trying to use higher outbound ports to Synapse such as 56757, but the documentation states that it will only use ports 11000 - 14999.
The client has suggested that it may be due to port exhaustion issue, and have suggested the following Windows registry changes:
They asked us to verify whether this makes sense. Can anyone verify whether a port exhaustion issue could cause this to happen? i.e. All connections to the target to drop all at once. To me it doesn't make sense that all downstream tasks are dropped at the same time due to a port exhaustion issue, however I could be wrong. If this needs to be a support case instead, please let me know. Thank you.
Regards,
Mohammed
Hi.
My team have been tasked with moving our existing Replicate solutions to a new sever.
During the training, we were advised that we could use repctl to create a repository file, and import it into the new enviornment.
repctl -d D:\Attunity\Data\LogStreams exportrepository
repctl -d importrepository json_file=c:\temp\repositoryfile.JSON
My only concern, is that we'd like to guarantee that, when we import the repository into the new location, that none of the tasks are automatically resumed.
I'd also prefer not to stop the tasks prior to running the first command.
If the service account in the new environment does not have access to the target databases, will that suffice as a method? Will that guarantee that any writing tasks won't start?
Thanks.
Hi All,
Greetings!
I have Date dimension in Qliksense straight table, and measures are Production, Sales and Consumption of Stock Material for Inventory in metric tons....
I am getting all values correct. For opening stock column, I have written the formula in the table expression as
if(Date=min(total Date), Sum([Initial Stock (MT)])
,
RangeSum(
Above((
Sum([Initial Stock (MT)]) + Sum([VCM Arrival (MT)])
- Sum([Consumption SPVC (MT)])
- Sum([Consumption PPVC (MT)])),
1,
RowNo()
)
))
which is giving correct values.. But, I need to execute the same in Qlik backend script. I tried this :
Kindly Help!!
Thanks in advance!!

Hello,
We are using QSEoW. We have an app that does not contain Section Access and is published to a stream. It contains a valid data model, contains data and has a dozen sheets with charts. Some users can open the app and see the data just fine. But other users get "Access Denied" error message. I've checked the following items for one of these "Access Denied" users:
User Access on the App Objects
User Access on the App
User Access on the Stream
Licensing (the user is Allocated)
User account, all looks good there.
User Directory Connector, all appears to be working here as well.
I don't know what else to check. I tried looking through some log files on the server but honestly don't know what I'm looking for. I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me some other things to check or point me to a specific keyword in a specific log file look for.
Best regards,
Steven
Hello Team,
I am working on writeback table for the User Entries. The requirement is when the User Enters the data, I want to store them in the backend and once I am reloading the application, those data appear in the filter, charts, KPIs and in the Table, also it shows the Updated data. I am not having S3 as connector to connect with Qlik Sense. Available options I am having is PostgreSQL, Amazon RedShift, Rest API (Direct Access gateway), Athena (But this is a Query Editor not a Database storage)
Due to Access Limitation, I am not having a permission to create an API key.
which would be the best option for me to discuss with the client for the Access.
Note: I am thinking of using PostgreSQL and connecting with Qlik sense using Username and Password.
I highly welcome your suggestion on the above-mentioned doubt.
Hello ,
We are in a business context where apps are reloaded in qlik sense client managed and then pushed to Qlik cloud tenant via multi-cloud distribution mechanism .
This is working fine but we have no access to app settings in the qlik cloud tenant for a distributed app, and thus we cannot activate qlik answers on it .

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same or has a possible solution / reasoning.
Qlik Sense SaaS Cloud Version.
I have been a Qlik developer for 15 years now, and created 100s of apps and ETL scripts, and I have not experienced this before.
I've modified an existing ETL that I own to store out an additional new QVD this week.
If I search the catalog I can see the QVD in the correct space. However, If I go to my Data Sources, navigate to the correct space and Select Data, my new QVD does not appear in the list of data files in that space.
I can manually script to load in the QVD, which works, so I know there is nothing wrong with the file itself.
I've deleted it, re-written the script to create it, I've tried everything I can thing of.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received, Thank you
The other day I upgraded a client-managed Sense cluster from 2025-Nov-patch<something> to 2026-May-IR.
Upgrade finished as expected, did a reboot of all the nodes and tried to log in.
Got this:
Standard login page results in this after upgrade to 2026-May-IR
Nothing obvious in the logs (did a quick check, admittedly I may have/probably missed things..).
Rebooted all servers again - same thing. Let the system sit for a few hours, same thing.
But hey - 2026-May-patch2 is out - let's apply that.
Again, the installers finished as expected, and surprise - after starting the various Sense services everything works again. Nice.
Something in patch1 or patch2 seems to have fixed the issue, the slightly disturbing thing is that the release notes do not really mention any fixed bugs I connect to the experienced issue.
But the issue is fixed, if anyone else comes across this issue it's worth trying an upgrade to latest patch before calling support.
Looking beyond that little upgrade speed bump, 2026-May adds quite a few nice additions, both for admins in the QMC (task history - looking at you - yay!!) and end users in the form of new and improved chart objects and other UI facing features.
Change log here.
Hi,
I'm using Qlik Sense May 2026 Patch 2. I'm trying to setup the Salesforce data connection using OAuth. (using client ID and client secret) However, when I try to authenticate, I get the following error:-
error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration
Anything that I missed? For the environment, I tried "Production" and "My domain", both give me the same error.
Hello! I am trying to set up IA on Qlik Cloud and have an issue when creating Calendar periods. We use several type of dates: installDate, eventDate, etc. and a custom calendar which declares the different grains of dates and calls the different types of calendars (instal, event..). When i try to create calendar periods based on the eventDate field, it doesn't appear in the drop down list of Aggregated date, even though it is created in exactly the same way as the other dates and has the same settings in the Logical model. Any idea what might be causing an issue?
Hi,
Currently, I am using the QlikView SAP Report Connector to connect to an SAP report and download the data. However, the report is shared with other users, and they sometimes change the report layout. As a result, my data extraction fails.
Is there a way to lock or fix the report layout? My SAP colleague mentioned that this can be done using a layout variant, but I'm not sure how to select or apply it in the setup screen.
Hi community!
I'm working with Qlik Sense (not desktop) and trying to create a Folder Connections on on a Target on another Network.
Qlik Sense is on a server, and the data are on a network (in this pc -> Network locations. I can browse the folders in the Target, but Qlik Sense does not give me the availability to connect to them. I've tried to use the local address of theTarget in the path of the folder, the name, but it is not available. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.
Hello everyone,
Is it possible to send images from charts, etc., as attachments in Tabular Reporting? NPrinting used to offer this option.
The only current alternative is an HTML report.
Thanks and best regards
Hi Team,
I'm developing an application that requires a file upload feature on the dashboard for Excel and CSV files. The native upload button doesn't support reading files from the local system, so I've implemented a custom solution involving a web page, an HTTP API (to send the payload to a specified route URL), and a Lambda function (to store the file in S3).
While the API and Lambda function were successfully created, I'm encountering a "Failed to fetch" error when clicking the upload button on the web page. I suspect the issue might be related to reading local files using this approach.
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Sarvesh
Hello!
We are using Qlik Answers on some of our Qlik Sense apps and the data is available in the Answers Review Portal.
We are not using Knowledge Base or Assistants with this, so the current Qlik Answers Analyzer app does not work with our data.
I am trying to find a way to export the Answers Review Portal somehow to pull into an app for analysis and tracking.
It does not allow me to export manually, and I've been trying to use an Api connection but having trouble identifying the URLs and how this rest connection should be set up.
Has anyone done this or have any insight?
Thank you!
I recently read the new @igoralcantara Data Voyager article, “Ask Your Data This Question Before Buying AI,” and found the reflection highly relevant for anyone working with data, analytics, and artificial intelligence.
Before investing in AI, it is important to assess whether the data is well organized, whether the metrics are clearly defined, and, most importantly, which business problem we are trying to solve. AI does not automatically fix incomplete or inconsistent data... it may simply generate fast answers based on unreliable information.
This connects directly to our work with Qlik: before building advanced dashboards or adopting AI capabilities, we need a consistent data model, well-defined business rules, and metrics that are clearly understood by everyone.
The article also connected perfectly with the Data and AI Fluency Masterclass, a course I recently completed that covered these essential foundations for using AI effectively and responsibly in data analysis. This course by Priscila Papazissis ( @papazissispaolinelli ) is highly recommended.
The main message is clear: AI should support a strong data strategy, not replace it.
Definitely worth reading!
