nPrinting 17.1 Cache Status Error connecting to Qlik Sense

[Anonymous]

Running nPrinting connection to Qlik Sense 3.0 and my Connections fail.  They start with Connections Status Ok and Cache status, Generating.  Then I get, Error Request has been purged due to connection errors

There's no firewall in the way and I can see traffic on port 80 and port 4242 between the servers in both directions.

Log file says

InnerException: An exception was thrown while invoking the constructor 'Void .ctor(Engine.Navigator.QlikSense.QlikSenseConnectionString, System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[Engine.Navigator.QlikSense.ISenseNavigatorFactory])' on type 'QlikSenseContentNavigator'. ---> Unable to connect to the remote server (See inner exception for details.) \n Inner-innerException: Unable to connect to the remote server \n Inner-inner-innerException: 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

Any ideas?

Thanks to Matt Grayndler for answering this. 

Qlik NPrinting Engine running on WindowsServer 2012 (while 2008 is supported for QlikView, Sense connections require 2012 as per http://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/17.1/Content/DeployingQVNprinting/System-requirements.htm)

I wasn't running on 2012 so I assume that was the problem.

We have the same issue but having Server 2012 R2 in Sense and Nprinting Servers

Hello aadil.zyme,

I had the same error where I was trying to connect to Qlik Sense and generate meta data for the given Qlik Sense App which was giving me error : "Request has been purged due to connection errors"

Schedular Log file was showing error :

Connection navigator=qliksense;proxyurl=https://<servername>/;appid=<appid>;identity=QLIK\qlikservices has reached ERROR status

I had already followed the steps for certificates export and import as mentioned in Qlik Site but that didn't help me to solve that error either. However, below steps helped me to get rid of that.

1. Go to start and search for "mmc".

2. Right click and open file location.

3. Locate mmc.exe, press shift and right click, select run as different user.

4. Give credentials for the user with which Qlik Sense services are running

5. Once mmc is opened, File -> Add or Remove snap-ins -> Certificates -> Add -> My User Account -> Finish

6. Expand to Locate Certificates - Current User -> Personal -> Certificates

7. Select Qlik Sense certificate available there, Right Click -> Open Tasks -> Export.

8. Export with Private Key, Check "Include all certificates", uncheck "Delete the private key if export is successful".

9. Give some password and remember, give proper file path along with file name (note that the file will automatically be created at given path).

10. Finish.

11. Repeat steps 7-10 to export Certificate from Certificates - Current User -> Trusted Root Certification -> Certificates

12. Repeat Steps 1-3. Give credentials for the user with which Nprinting Services are running.

13. Repeat Step 5-6.

14. Right click and import certificates, give password that was given while exporting certificates. Import respective certificates in respective locations (Personal and Trusted Root).

15. Restart Nprinting Services.

Hope that helps !

Regards,

Hardik

(P.S. I had both Qlik Sense Server and Nprinting Server installed with different local user service account Windows 8 64 bit Operating System and Now everything works fine.)
