November 2021
Partial reloads for scheduled reloads
You can now use the partial reload option for scheduled reloads in the QMC. Partial reloads have several benefits compared to full reloads:
Faster, because only data recently changed needs to be loaded. With large data sets the difference is significant.
Less memory is consumed, because less data is loaded.
More reliable, because queries to source data run faster, reducing the risk of having network problems.
November 2021 Patch 15
Google BigQuery connector: Update in the OAuth flow for the User Authentication mechanism, due to the deprecation of OAuth out-of-band (oob) flow by Google. This change requires reauthentication of existing connection definitions.

November 2021 Patch 13
Key | Title | Description |
SHEND-1011 | Update Node.js | Updated Node.js to address third-party issue CVE-2022-32223. For more information, see https://nodejs.org/en/blog/vulnerability/july-2022-security-releases/. |
November 2021 Patch 12
Key | Title | Description |
QB-10797 | Qlik Sense Visualizations: Apply changes banner appears unexpectedly when working with containers | Fixed a bug that caused the Apply changes banner to appear unexpectedly even when no changes had been made to the visualizations. |
QB-10692 | Qlik Engine: Risk of corrupting the state of thread locks due to stalling engine | Resolved an issue where the engine was stalling when checking for changes to Settings.ini. |
QB-10280 | Qlik Engine: Not all published apps open after encryption certificate is changed | Fixed a bug that prevented some published apps from opening after a new encryption certificate was used. When the encryption certificate is now changed, all objects in the app are re-encrypted upon the first save or reload, removing any reference to the old certificate. |
QB-10051 | Qlik Sense Hub: Improper error handling for "api/hub/v1/apps/stream/" request | Fixed a problem that resulted in unnecessarily verbose error messages. |
QB-9713 | Qlik Sense: Pivot table sometimes displays incorrect background color | Fixed an issue where the pivot table would sometimes display incorrect background color when scrolling up or down. |
November 2021 Patch 11
Key | Title | Description |
QB-9797 | Task status is not updated for apps | Fixed an issue where the task status in 'App: associated items' was not updated. |
QB-9795 | Information disclosure of internal FQDN and ports | In cases where a URL was not found, a 404 HTTP error was returned along with the details of the internal URL to be used. This issue has been fixed by removing the internal URL details from the returned payload and providing a generic "Content not found." message. |
QB-8050 | Scheduler: Operations Monitor app does not show new reloads | Fixed a bug that altered the structure of the scheduler service logs, making them incompatible with the data load model of the Operations Monitor app. To inspect reload activity from the affected period, use the Reloads Monitor app. |
November 2021 Patch 10
Key | Title | Description |
QB-10460 | "/qrs/license/requestaccesstype" takes long time to complete with large number of SAML groups | Fixed the issue by improving the parsing mechanism of values included in the "X-Qlik-ExtendedUser" header. |
QB-9967 | Information disclosure in response to "/qrs/systemrule/security/audit/export" API | The response to "/qrs/systemrule/security/audit/export" no longer discloses sensitive information. The file location now points to "%Temp Location%". |
QB-9789 | Qlik Sense: Large number of user groups coming from SAML\OIDC authentication caused slow performance in the hub and QMC | Some requests to the Qlik Sense Repository service would unnecessarily include persisting user attributes twice. This would impact performance across the Qlik Sense product. The issue has been fixed and the X-Qlik-ExtendedUserInfo header is now only included in an initial request, when the repository service compares the existing attributes with the ones coming from the Identify Provider. |
November 2021 Patch 9
Key | Title | Description |
QB-10174 | Issue with notification setup when several websockets have opened the same app | When several websockets open the same app event, registration of notifications like publish and unpublish is set up and torn down appropriately. |
QB-10171 | Reload script is executed successfully but app save fails | Added a retry mechanism where a locked transaction file would cause Engine to fail when saving the app. Affected areas: - Autosave - API: DoSave - API: DoSaveEx Note that when the saving sometimes takes a bit longer to complete, this could be the retry mechanism waiting for the file to get unlocked for writing (10 ms for each retry). |
IM-131 | Add retry of CopyFileCollection when performing DoSave | Improvement for environmental issue when DoSave might fail. The failure could be seen in the Engine System log as '*Could not copy collection* <fileshare path to app> (genericException)' AppSerializer: SaveApp_internal caught extended exception 9010: Unknown error. Added a retry mechanism that can be controlled through the settings.ini file: CopyCollectionRetry=5 The default value is currently set to five retries. This setting can be turned off by setting it to 0. |
November 2021 Patch 8
Key | Title | Description |
QB-7782 | Host header not validated when Qlik Sense hostname is added in 'Host allow list' in virtual proxy settings | Improved the HTTP Host header validation method for permitted domains as per 'Host allow list' performed by Qlik Virtual Proxy. |
ENBT-440 | Issue with deadlock on autosave loop | Due to synchronization primitive usage the autoloop could hang several threads, and at a later point potentially cause a restart of the engine. This issue has been resolved. |
November 2021 Patch 7
Key | Title | Description |
QB-9485 | Incorrect layout of Multi KPI objects in Qlik Sense | Fixed the layout of the objects in the KPI. |
QB-8552 | Dragging files in Qlik Sense Desktop failed | Dragging files into Qlik Sense Desktop resulted in an infinite spinner instead of allowing the selection of data. This issue is fixed. |
QB-9570 | Qlik Sense: Improve error messages for script save failures | The following improvements have been done: - The timestamp for saved changes is more visible. - A dialog makes it clear if the script saving failed. |
November 2021 Patch 6
Key | Title | Description |
QB-8218 | Smart search doesn't work when used in session apps | Resolved an issue where smart search did not work in session apps or in a mashup. |
QB-7903 | ODAG indication green light not consistent | In case of having multiple ODAG links in an app there could be times when the constraints check (green light indicator) would use an expression from a different ODAG link. It will now use the correct expression. |
November 2021 Patch 5
Key | Title | Description |
QB-9228 | App is not showing in Insight Advisor chat | For apps with large data models, scraping calls might take a long time to complete. Fixed the issue by making the scraping timeout of the nl-app-search HTTP request configurable. The default value for the timeout (two minutes) can now be increased by setting the scraping-request-timeout parameter in the service configuration. |
QB-8992 | Use safe ciphers by default | Fixed an issue with unsafe ciphers. The unsafe ciphers have been removed and a list list of supported predefined ciphers is used. If you want to use the unsafe ciphers, you need to provide a list of them as mentioned in this knowledge article: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2021/Content/NPrinting/DeployingQVNprinting/TLS-cipher-suit..., under the `--cipher-suites` param |
QB-8873 | Forms Authentication with FQDN creates new user | When a user authenticated to Qlik Sense with Forms Authentication and FQDN as user directory, it was recognized as a different user, compared to when using a simple domain name. This has been fixed by using user impersonation, which prevents the creation of a new user. |
QB-8541 | Multi KPI chart style is changed unintentionally | Multi KPI chart is now reverted to the original style. |
QB-7225 | Insight Advisor Chat was not working with database security | Insight Advisor Chat was not working with SSL/TLS Postgres Connection configuration. |
November 2021 Patch 4
Key | Title | Description |
QB-8695 | Teradata SSO username format is now configurable | Now users can make the Teradata SSO username format configurable by editing the SSOUsernameFormat property in QvOdbcConnectorPackage.exe.config file. For UPN format, edit the property to: <add key="SSOUsernameFormat" value="upn" /> For samaccountname, format property should look like this: <add key="SSOUsernameFormat" value="samaccount" /> |
QB-8387 | Sessions shared between browsers do not sync selections when using SAML authentication | SAML authentication flow was corrected to make sure that "samluser" object matches the referential "BaseUser". |
November 2021 Patch 3
Key | Title | Description |
QB-8198 | Amazon Athena connector improvement | When using the Amazon Athena connector, the Data preview dialog now uses row limits with generated queries. This improves load times. |
QB-7722 | Unreliable auto-save behavior after reload | Qlik Sense will automatically save edits on session close and at a regular interval. Auto-save could be unreliable when a user session against an app had changed between open modes "with data" versus "without data". This happened if an end user would open an app without data and then reload the app from the Data load editor, but it could also happen as a result of scheduled reloads with impersonation. The problem could affect all users of the app, but in a multi-node system, problems would only occur on the node where the reload took place. |
ENBT-374 | Multiple concurrent sessions could result in system and engine instability | With multiple sessions running, the internal registry of derived fields (dimensions) could lock up under concurrent load. This deadlock occurred on a very low level, and would affect many other mechanisms in the engine, even those without immediate connection to the derived fields registry. The deadlock occurred unpredictably, but once locked-up the engine would not recover without a restart. The change to the derived fields registry that introduced the deadlock condition has now been fixed, and it can no longer occur. |
November 2021 Patch 2
Key | Title | Description |
QB-7988 | SSPI added for when WebFileUseWinAPI is turned off | SSPI is added in WebFileUseWinAPI=0 mode, making it possible to use current Windows credentials with web file connectors in that mode. |
QB-7987 | Fix of #myapps and #mytasks custom filters | Default #My apps or #My tasks filters would not work as QMC did not rely on fetching "user.id" from the repository service. Fix ensures that it always fetches "user.id". |
QB-7070 | Return the full allocated license access numbers no matter which user is calling accesstypeoverview | This enables QMC to properly disable the Allocate button when there are no more seats available, even if the user in question does not have read on all the allocated users. Only the allocation numbers are revealed. Not the user info |
QDCB-1094 | qdc-catalog-service connect to correct proxy port when proxy port is set | qdc-catalog-service will connect to correct proxy port when proxy port set to a different instead of the default port 443. |
November 2021 Patch 1
Key | Title | Description |
QB-6400 | Selections are not displayed in the selection bar | Under a certain racing condition the selection state layout did not represent the latest selection properties. The correct selection was however always applied. |
November 2021
Key | Title | Description |
QB-2997 | Non latin characters not recognised in Data Manager field editor | Data Manager calculated field editor throws "Unrecognised symbol" error on not latin characters |
QB-3317 | Engine API: Engine do not allow to set an empty script | Before this fix: Engine allowed users to set empty script through API. When users tried to get the script Engine would generate a default script. This would confuse the user to think that Engine is not allowing to set empty script. After changes: Engine will throw an error when user is setting empty script through APIs |
QB-4212 | HSTS Missing From HTTPS Server |
Qlik Sense TCP/www ports that don't occur in Physical proxies of Virtual proxy are now restricted during TLS/SSL handshake to not produce HTTP responses. |
QB-5202 | Fix P&L pivot chart export as xls option in QCS | Enable export as xls option of P&L pivot chart in QCS |
QB-5299 | Qlik Sense May 2021 fails to install\upgrade due to missing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64) | When installing or upgrading Qlik Sense to May 2021 release on operating systems missing Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64), installer would fail during the PostgreSQL version 12.5 install. This is now fixed. |
QB-5344 | Add error handling on swapping objects in a container |
While navigating between the tabs of a variable extension error message on swapping objects in a container |
QB-5418 | Inconsistency in display of 'Null Values' in a scatterplot | Inconsistency in display of 'Null Values' in a scatterplot fixed. |
QB-5419 | Fix for Insight Advisor property change issue for alpha-numeric filter value which ending with number. | On Insight Property change in Insight Advisor, filter value with alpha-numeric value ending with number was being converted to its numeric equivalent and hence producing incorrect selection. |
QB-5432 | Alternative measure | Allow alternative measure when interaction is enabled but selection is disabled. |
QB-5436 | Improved handling of empty attribute dimensions in Sense pivot tables | Empty attribute dimensions of Qlik Sense pivot table definitions incurred a considerable performance penalty when evaluating the table, particularly in highly expanded states. The cost is necessary and natural with a present (non-empty) attribute dimension, but an empty dimension doesn't require any calculations. Their presence is now detected beforehand and they are handled through a dedicated shortcut without noticeable penalty. The empty dimensions (dimension definitions) can occur for many reasons, e.g. due to templated object definitions, but they have been mistakenly added by certain versions of the Sense client. |
QB-5442 | Fix for insight advisor performance on complex queries/app with large dataset | Optimize the NLP search algorithm to improve the insight advisor performance for complex queries and applications with a large dataset. |
QB-5466 | Fixed issue: Qlik Athena connector error "Connection string exceeds maximum allowed length of 1024." when using session token | Fixed issue: Qlik Athena connector error "Connection string exceeds maximum allowed length of 1024." when using session token |
QB-5514 | Variable changes and additions are not kept during import and replace of app | User variables and additions was not replaced when an app is imported and replaced. |
QB-5526 | Insight Advisor / Insight Advisor Chat not recognizing filter/dimension values having multiple words with first word being a number | Fix for identifying and correctly applying filter value having multiple words starting with first word numeric for Insight Advisor / Insight Advisor Chat. Examples of such dimension values: 60 days, 10 years, 8 miles |
QB-5544 | Increase nl-app-search http request timeout | For apps with larger data models, dataprep classification calls can take a long time to complete. Increased the timeout of nl-app-search http requests to 2 minutes to avoid errors when longer calls succeed. |
QB-5558 | Fix app are not showing correctly on iPhone | Fix objects height are not showing correctly on iPhone |
QB-5651 | Concurrent OpenDoc slow with many user variables | Loading user variables when opening a document scaled poorly with number of variables and the number of concurrent OpenDoc requests. The variable loading caused internal state changes in the opening document that are relatively costly. The change was done per individual variable, despite all variables being loaded as one. This caused poor scaling which impacted the time the persistence locks were held, blocking other loads. The variables are now loaded in the appropriate bulk mode, with a single state update on completion. |
QB-5663 | Fix persistent storage path in precedents-service | Use custom storage path if one was provided by the user in the installer. |
QB-5673 | The list of available connections from the ODBC connector package is missing | Fix broken build not generating all web content |
QB-5681 | Axis selections on a container object do not stick | When making axis selections on a container object with false show conditions, the selections do not stick since the layout of the object is reloaded. |
QB-5698 | Fix single selection behaviour in stacked bars case | The single selection was not working as expected in a Bar chart with stacked bars. This should now work as expected. |
QB-5705 | Disabling animation for custom formatting | Since the animation adds little value and this is a corner case, we simply disable the animation for this case. |
QB-5706 | Unexpected number formatting of KPIs in Qlik Sense | Changed the rounding method for these types of decimals to make sure that 0.xx5 is always rounded up. |
QB-5771 | Color legend | Fix item size in color legend |
QB-5775 | Partition filter handling for queries that read data from Google BigQuery partitioned tables |
Fixed partition filter handling for queries that read data from Google BigQuery partitioned tables. The application executes these queries without any failures now. |
QB-5848 | Alternate state on viewing data | Update the alternate state on viewing data of an object. |
QB-5860 | "Operation was cancelled" error when using Qlik data analytics connection (SSE) | Do not raise GRPC status code CANCELLED as a separate error condition if the ongoing request is already cancelled. |
QB-5946 | Pivot Table: expanding Column causes "Internal JSON Protocol error" or "internal engine error" | Fix was done to prevent the Auto chart object getting into a corrupt state. |
QB-5953 | Connector data preview for date fields | Preview of 'date' type columns was improved. Instead of displaying this data as a timestamp the application uses short date format. |
QB-6047 | Webfile in WinApi mode stream-lined for https access | Https certificates are accepted similarly to non-WinAPI mode, additionally with settings ini WebFileAllowInsecureCert added to cover rare cases. |
QB-6048 | Set analysis with money format | Set analysis on money formatted numbers should not require the comparison string to be money formatted. |
QB-6097 | Filterbox search and money format | Searching in filterbox containing money formatted numbers should not require the search string to be money formatted. |
QB-6112 | Fixed missing task-chain icon bug | After editing task and adding/removing a task event trigger the changes will now be reflected in the task-overview table. |
QB-6290 | Update logged ProxySessionID if the proxy attaches with a new ID | The engine session always logged with the initial ProxySessionID, provided by the proxy when the session was created. This ID could become irrelevant or confusing if successive proxy sessions attached to and detached from long-lived engine sessions, e.g. through TTL. The engine now updates the associated ProxySessionID if a new one is provided upon session attach. The update is recorded in the engine log. |
QB-6297 | DatePicker object stopped working after upgrade to April 2020 and later | The sort order indicator has been changed in engine props which led the sortOrder to be incorrectly defined and thus the selection is not done. |
QB-6320 | Not possible to restore an application with Qlik Sense May 2021 | If an app is missing version number when it is opened, we add the latest engine version number to it. |
QB-6329 | Bar chart color | Fix coloring when the mini chart scroll position starts at the end. |
QB-6331 | Mutual TLS for MySQL ODBC connector | Connection dialog of MySQL ODBC Connector now has new properties allowing client to upload and use client's certificate and a private key in order to establish mutual TLS connection. |
QB-6333 | Flex box issue in Safari | A workaround to avoid a third party issue. |
QB-6368 | Portuguese mistranslation when data is loaded | Fixed the incorrect translation in Portuguese that said there were errors when the data load was successful. |
QB-6399 | Fix - Insight Advisor Chat is not working when having a Postgres password with special character (?) | Fixed the issue where Insight Advisor Chat is not working when having a Postgres password with a special character (?) |
QB-6408 | Master dimension description not displaying | Information about master items was not displayed when either measures (filterpane) or dimensions were not present. |
QB-6436 | Introduced "Retry Timeout" for Google BigQuery | Introduced new parameter "Retry Timeout" for Google BigQuery which is the length of time, in seconds, for which the connector retries a failed API call before timing out. |
QB-6464 | Fix keyboard accessibility on context menu in embed sheet and single object | Fix shift+F10 keyboard accessibility on the context menu in embed sheet and single object. |
QB-6471 | Map point layer images failing in mashups on network | This bug fixes an issue where a GeoMapChart with Point Layer images would fail to load Point Layer images when used in a mashup over a network. |
QB-6517 | Total stack label | Add total stack label when it is zero. |
QB-6518 | Stepped version of libxml2 to 2.9.12 | Stepped version of libxml2 to ver 2.9.12 (contains important security fixes). |
QB-6521 | Word cloud chart size | Ignore rendering word cloud chart when its size is very small. |
QB-6532 | Copy-pasted images in Text & Image object pointing to old app when app is cloned | Previously, when copy-pasting images we did not create a new ID for the markup holding the image, which resulted in the image pointing to the previous app's image when the app was cloned. In addition, the URL was double-encoded in this case which has now been fixed. |
QB-6548 | Italian zip codes | Next version of LocationDB (2108) is updated with new Italian zipcodes |
QB-6559 | Preventing selections when updating a calculated field | Since calculated dimensions are not equivalent to fields, selections wont work the same. When making selections in a field, rows are never removed, while that might be the case for calculated dimensions. To ensure that that a row still exists before selecting it, the listbox will now wait until it is updated from previous selections. |
QB-6612 | Dimension expressions could mix up field names differing only by whitespaces | When generating fields-on-the-fly for dimension expression, a canonized form of the expression is used. The canonization could strip whitespaces out from invalid expressions in such a way that the expression became valid due to an unquoted (invalid) field reference in the canonized form matched an unintended field. The canonization will now recognize this and leave a canonical whitespace in. |
QB-6615 | Fix printing service start/stop error when certificates are missing | If the required Qlik client and server certificates were missing, the printing service would hang when stopping. This release fixes these start and stop service issues when the certificates are missing. |
QB-6619 | Loss of application changes was possible when auto save operations took time | Engine auto-saves all user edits continuously, but also when a session is closed. Sometimes, there can be delays in the auto-save operation because of overall load either on the Qlik software or on database and file systems. A software error made it possible for an intermittent delay in the auto-save operation on session close to affect a newly opened session for the same user on the same app in such a way that the newly opened session would never be auto-saved. This situation could occur on a web browser refresh or any kind of network issue that led to rapid closure and re-establishment of the websocket connection from Qlik Sense client to Engine. |
QB-6645 | Loading JSON string values did not use correct code page | Loading JSON data did not use a unicode code page by default, and additionally did not pick up an explicitly given code page, breaking all non-ASCII string values. UTF-8 is now used by default, and a code page specifically given in the load statement is now applied. |
QB-6743 | Extensions post-bundle installer recreates default extensions on every restart of the Qlik Sense Repository service. | The version numbering system was changed to accommodate patch deliveries which led to mismatch with old version numbers and thus these extensions were always freshly installed. This would result in the removal of all the associated entities, for example custom security rules created for those extensions. |
QB-6763 | qlik.getGlobal() call throws EventEmitter memory leak errors | Previously, `qlik.getGlobal()` when used in a 3rd party extension within Qlik Sense Dashboard was throwing EventEmitter memory leaks warnings in the console. The fix re-uses the already created old rpc-session instance if available, so it avoids re-registering the session listeners and fixes the memory leaks warning. |
QB-6779 | Cancel/Confirm button is invisible for filter pane in a container | Cancel/Confirm button is now visible for filter pane in a container |
QB-6819 | Default layout is not applied when using bookmarks containing layout state | When using bookmarks containing the layout state it does not apply the default layout on the objects. This issue is fixed, however with the following limitations. It will only work on newly created bookmarks and on the current sheet. |
QB-6828 | A Denied Access dialog appear after switching between sheets or another user access the app. | When you switch between sheets or another user access the app you get a Denied Access dialog. This happens only when you have a container object in your app. |
QB-6839 | Removing redundant property from KPI | There was a property on the KPI we were not using anymore. This caused the KPI to crash if you were using measure expression formatting on the second measure. |
QB-6847 | Empty value on activeTab patch causes error | Empty value on activeTab property causes invalid visualization error on a container object. |
QB-6867 | Resolved timing issue that could lead to user enumeration | When using Windows NTLM as the authentication provider, the error response time for a invalid username was measurably different to that of a valid username. This could be used to allow somebody with access to the system to determine whether a given username was valid. The response times are now the same. |
QB-6870 | OIDC authentication fails when no prefix is used | OIDC authentication failed when using a virtual proxy with no prefix. This was caused due to an extra slash added in the authentication URL. This has now been fixed - OIDC authentication works with or without prefix. |
QB-6882 | When searching for value and hit enter, without waiting for the search to complete, the search clears the value from the selection | Confirming the search query is throttled to make sure we do not call engine search during typing the search query.

QB-6909 | Connector fails with datatype "Longtext" | Connector fails on a select dialog if "longtext" data type is used. The bug is fixed now. |
QB-6955 | Remove deleted master items from qvf file | Master items (dimension and measure) were deleted from an app and the app was published and replaced. When the published app (QVF file) was copied from the persistent folder and imported, the QVF file still contained the master items that were supposed to be deleted. |
QB-6958 | Apps are now presented in all supported languages. | Fixed a problem where an app is presented in English even though the device is using a supported non-English language. |
QB-6962 | Remove deleted master items from qvf file | Master items (dimension and measure) were deleted from an app and the app was published and replaced.

QB-6992 | Loss of application changes after app had been opened without data and reloaded in Data load editor | Loss of application edits was possible when a user session against an app had changed between open modes "with data" versus "without data". This happened if an end user would open an app without data and then reload the app from the Data load editor. |
QB-6995 | OIDC authentication fails when using custom Qlik Proxy port | OIDC authentication did not work when Qlik Proxy port was set to a port other than 443 (default port). This has been fixed now, and OIDC authentication works when using custom Qlik Proxy port. |

QB-7218 | Introduce limits on which HTML tags that the PDF renderer is permitted to process | Additional input validation has been added to the API for PDF rendering. This is to help ensure that the rendering engine does not attempt to access network resources that it should not need to. |
QB-7255 | Long expressions move info panel off the bottom of the expression editor | Addressed issue where long expressions moved info panel off the bottom of the modal expression editor dialog. |
QB-7262 | Installer prompts for choosing database superuser password when upgrading | When upgrading from older releases of Qlik Sense with bundled PostgreSQL 9.6, installer would prompt user to choose a database superuser password, instead of asking to provide password already set during the initial installation. |
QB-7336 | Fix for the default tls version for nl-app-search | The default version of TLS used in previous releases was 1.1 which could be changed using a parameter. This fix sets the default version version of TLS in nl-app-search to 1.2 |

QB-7962 | When AutoCalendar is enabled, Insight Advisor doesn't see filters and attributes | Previously, actual field names with periods and derived field names presented an ambiguity to Insight Advisor. Now, the fix identifies the concrete field name as the string which precedes the base calendar period generated by AutoCalendar. |
SHEND-186 | Security filter result caching available for SharedContent resource | Results of rule engine's evaluation of security rules using SharedContent as resource filter are now cached. This cache exists in Qlik Sense Repository Service's memory. Using this cache avoids using the rule engine and will result in performance benefits when repeatedly accessing above resource. This improvement can be disabled by modifying following key in the Repository.exe.config file, by default located in: "C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository", followed by a restart of the Qlik Sense Repository Service: <add key="UseSecurityCacheForSharedContent" value="true" /> |
SHEND-567 | Improvements to Search feature in the Hub |
With a large number of applications in the Hub, the performance of the Search feature could be significantly impaired. This functionality has now been improved but for this release it is by default disabled. It can be enabled by adding a corresponding capability flag in C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\CapabilityService\capabilities.json file, in example: "originalClassName":"FeatureToggle","flag": "HUB_OPTIMIZED_SEARCH","enabled":true}
|
SHEND-614 | Enable configuration of server timeout for duplicating large applications | Duplicating large application in the Hub intermittently would throw an "App could not be duplicated." error and result in two copies of the app. This was caused by a hard-coded server request timeout after which retry attempt was automatically triggered. This is now fixed by exposing the timeout value for configuration. If not defined, defaults to 10 minutes (600000 milliseconds). Configured via C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\ServiceDispatcher\services.conf file: [globals] servReqTimeOut=600000 (...) [broker.parameters] --server-req-timeout=${servReqTimeOut} (...) [hub.parameters] --server-req-timeout=${servReqTimeOut} (...) |
