What's new in Qlik Sense Technical Preview for May 2024

 

May 2024

QMC

Preload Apps Option

• A long-awaited feature reminiscent of QlikView, we are introducing a new option to "PRELOAD APPS" via the Qlik Management Console (QMC). This functionality will be delivered as part of the May 2024 release.
• The Preload Apps option will be managed through a dedicated Preload task in the QMC, providing administrators with greater control and efficiency in app performance optimization.

About Dialogue Migration

We are relocating the About dialogue from Sense Client and DevHub to the Qlik Management Console (QMC). This change streamlines access to important information within the administrative environment, promoting a more centralized and intuitive experience.

 

We believe these enhancements will significantly improve your workflow, providing a seamless transition between administrative tasks and user functionalities while leveraging familiar features from QlikView.

Visualizations

Several visualization improvements which will be specified in the release notes for May 2024 IR.

 

Resolved Defects

 

Technical Preview for May 2024

QB-21161	SSL setting changed after Qlik Sense upgrade	Fixed an issue where the 'Ssl Mode' setting in the repository config file changed to a blank value during an upgrade to the May 2023 version of Qlik Sense.
QB-21455	Qlik Sense Hub: Favorites icon visible in anonymous sessions	We have removed the Favorite icon for anonymous sessions.
QB-22171	REST Connector: Slow when importing large files	We have made performance improvements of file import with the REST connector for cases where a table contains a large number of columns.
QB-23565	Improved HTTP header validation	Improved HTTP communication by providing additional header validations.
QB-23689	Google BigQuery Connector: Preserve the original future timestamp	This release addresses the discrepancy in timestamp conversion from the Google BigQuery connector. The fix ensures that timestamp fields containing future values are accurately represented within Qlik Sense, preserving the original future timestamp without unintended conversion.
QB-23878	Restriction of 'About' Service APIs	The APIs connecting to the ‘About’ Service have been revised and restricted for on-premises deployments of Qlik Sense.
QB-23879	Restriction of 'About' Service APIs	The APIs connecting to the ‘About’ Service have been revised and restricted for on-premises deployments of Qlik Sense.
QB-23975	Qlik NL Insights: Incorrect Dutch translation	NL Insights for "top dimensions" have been updated to the correct translation in Dutch.
QB-23999	Connectors: Fix reading of empty columns in BulkReader mode for Oracle	Queries with an empty column like "SELECT DepartmentID, '' as FakeColumn FROM AdventureWorks.HumanResources.Department;" failed for Oracle driver in Bulk Reader mode. The reason was that such columns were detected as zero column size. To fix this issue, we have extended the list of char types that override zero column size value with the default value.
QB-24350	Qlik Sense Visualizations: No longer possible to select several areas of the map at the same time	Clicking on one element of a slightly off-screen map would focus on the selection and confirmed it directly. This has been fixed and the map allows multiple selections.
QB-24368	Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix	Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used.
QB-24411	Visualizations: Expression for legend label in distribution plot not evaluated	Using an expression for a legend label wasn't evaluated in a distribution plot. For this fix to take effect, the user will need to reapply the properties for the visualization to pick up the change.
QB-24430	Qlik Data Prep: Uploaded data not converted to date format automatically	Fixed a problem where the Data manager did not provide the correct date format in the script for auto concat scenario.
QB-24440	Qlik Sense: EngineHealth function in QMC stops working when TimeZone is UTC	Fixed a problem where the engine timestamp did not include a timezone offset, presenting only a "Z" instead of the expected "+0000", leading to a failure in converting the timestamp into a readable format. This update addresses a critical issue where the EngineHealth function would cease to operate correctly when the system TimeZone was set to UTC. We have enhanced the functionality within the QMC to ensure robust and accurate parsing of date-time strings across various time zone formats.
QB-24441	Qlik NL Insights: NL Insights not working on mashups on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows	Fixed a problem where NL Insights considered extensions as virtual proxy prefixes, causing the request to use the wrong URL.
QB-24469	Engine: Loading data from SSE plugins causes an error if no rows are loaded	Resolved an issue where engine did not build a data table if no rows where loaded via a SSE plugin.
QB-24503	Qlik Connectors: Authentication issue with Qlik ODATA connector	Fixed an authentication problem by adding a new authentication type option: BasicPreEpmtive.
QB-24504	Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows: Unselected bars are grey on Barchart	If a type "S" hypercube has SET expressions in the measures, and a dimension is colored by another dimension, then a selection that impacts the coloring expression but not the actual dimension being colored, could cause grey colors in the chart. This was caused by the expansion of the SET expression. With this fix, the coloring dimensions are also expanded by the SET expression, getting values for all rows of the hypercube.
QB-24577	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Treemap chart color doesn't apply defined custom theme after upgrade	After upgrading to QS May 2023 patch 9, the custom theme was not applied to the treemap. This has been solved, and in cases where the color scheme does not exist, it will fall back to default.
QB-24624	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Wrong scroll position	Fixes an issue in the combo chart where the initial scroll position could be incorrect when combined with selection sheet actions.
QB-24625	Qlik Sense Engine: Access to hidden values possible through Set Analysis on dimension	Fixed a problem where the Section Access value subset was not correctly applied to fields-on-the-fly based on a single key field. This resulted in all key values being visible on the field on the fly, even if Section Access restricted the source key field.
QB-24656	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Pivot table drag dimension to column fails	Dragging dimensions to columns failed if disabled dimensions were present. This has been fixed and dragging dimensions in a pivot table now sorts correctly.
QB-24709	Incorrect translations for 'Copy\Paste style' in Swedish and German languages	Corrected Swedish and German translations for 'Copy style' and 'Paste style' in the context menu for a visualization.
QB-24802	Qlik Sense Mobile: All filter option is not displayed on iOS device	Fixed a problem where zoom on text entry was not reset, resulting in missing filter options.
QB-24906	Qlik Engine: Issues with field name when storing Parquet files	Fixed an issue with field names containing a "." character when storing Parquet files.
QB-24911	Visualizations: Some lines disappear when scrolling line charts	Fixed a problem where, for certain datasets, two-dimensional line charts sometimes failed to show all lines when scrolling.
QB-24943	Visualizations: Map chart label coloring not functional through exploration menu	Fixed a problem that caused changes to the base map and language setting when changing the label coloring for map charts in the exploration menu.
QB-24944	Visualizations: Qlik.Resize() not working in mashups	Fixed a problem where Qlik.Resize() was not working in mashups. Chart rendering on resize is now triggered when the chart starts with zero size.
QB-24957	Connectors: REST connector does not return response headers	Resolved an issue where the REST connector failed to retrieve response headers when there was no response body present.
QB-25045	Qlik Sense Licensing: Cannot set offline license in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024	Fixed a problem that would throw an error when using offline license.
QB-25055	Visualizations: Calculation condition does not work correctly	The name of the calculated item was not displayed when the condition was not met. This has been fixed and the labels for dimension expressions are shown instead of showing an error text.
QB-25080	Engine: WHERE statement fails with Parquet files	Fixed an issue where WHERE statements failed with Parquet files if the filter field was not part of the loaded fields.
QB-25165	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unable to add data connection throwing error 404	Resolved a degrade issue that made it impossible to create connections when using virtual proxy prefixes.
QB-25217	Qlik Data Prep: Limited field of view in the Add Data dialog in Data Manager on Chrome and Edge	When selecting a source data file, the preview window was limited to only showing one row. This has been solved by fixing a rendering problem in the Add Data Dialog on the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions.
QB-25238	Qlik Data Prep: Unable to see scrollbar for selecting file locations	Fixed a rendering issue in the Data Manager Add Data dialog that affected the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions.
QB-25245	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Issues with filter panes in mashups	Fixed a problem where scrollbars disappeared and filter panes moved when a popover opened. The new Listbox used a feature to prevent scrolling. This has been disabled to prevent "jumping" behavior on Windows when a popover opens.
QB-25258	Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix	Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used.
QB-25362	Unable to rearrange sheets in touch screen mode	Fixed an issue with drag-and-drop reordering of sheets in touch mode.
QB-25384	Qlik Cloud Data Prep: Error in expressions with label name	Fixed a validation issue in the expression editor when using labels. This ensures that the expression editor is aware of existing labels when performing a validation.
QB-25526	Error "invalid parameters" when changing tab to a Table within container	When changing the selected tab to a Table visualization within a container, an engine error called "invalid parameters" could sometimes occur. This error occurs in sheet edit mode. The issue has been fixed by ensuring the correct parameters are sent to the engine, preventing the error from occurring.
QB-25640	Visualizations: Distribution plot limitation	The message "Currently showing limited dataset" for distribution plots is now also shown when you're exactly on the limit.
QB-25644	Qlik Cloud Engine: Fields on the fly can lead to hanging errors when loading a sheet	Fixed a problem where fields on the fly introduced a recursive dependency when the state was being evaluated.
QB-25677	Databricks connector: OAuth authentication problem related to character length of connection string	Fixed an issue that caused errors in authenticating a Databricks connection via Azure OAuth. The problem was caused by a change in the character length of the connection string. The issue has been fixed by excluding OAuth tokens from connection string length validation, and additionally by providing these tokens with their own length limit of 16kb.
QB-25827	Variable description was not shown on separate row	An issue in the variable editor interface in which the variable's description was not separated from the variable name with a line break. The issue is fixed and the variable description is moved to a separate row in the cell.
QB-25897	Link to helpsite missing in topbar menu	Restored the Help link to the Qlik helpsite in the action menu (...) on the  navigation bar.
QB-26048	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Scroll bar missing from Selections tool	Fixed a problem where the scroll bar was not properly displayed in the Selections tool, making it hard to see all values in the list box.
SHEND-1828	Qlik Sense: Updated Node.js	Qlik Sense May 2024 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches

 

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.

Clients

• Third-party extensions are currently not supported on mobile devices, and the Qlik Trusted Extension Developer program does not accredit extensions for use on mobile devices. Generated items might not be visualized properly on a mobile device, depending on individual device specifications, mobile OS, and the size of the Qlik Sense app.
• When you consume Qlik Sense apps using the Microsoft Edge browser on touch/hybrid devices, the long-press action does not work. This prevents you from accessing functions such as an object’s context menu, which requires a long press in touch mode. This is a Microsoft Edge issue.
  Workaround: If you use a hybrid device, turn off touch mode, and then turn it back on again.
• Export as Anonymous does not work for mashups deployed in a domain that is different from the domain where Qlik Sense is installed. Export only works for Anonymous if the mashup is deployed in the same domain as Qlik Sense.
• When using the new Load Extension syntax in the load script, the Data Load Editor syntax completion does not work well after the keyword “Extension” when trying to write the call to an SSE function (AAI function). The script still executes correctly.
• Legend does not show dimension values after row number 3000.
• Limitations when exporting a story to PowerPoint:   
  • Titles are not rescaled as HTML. Font settings are not exported.
  • Storytelling effects are not applied.
  • Exported charts might show fixed scroll bars, depending on the export resolution.
• It is not possible to open the context menu of an org chart on a touch device.
• When you choose to view data in the context menu in a dynamic chart and make a new selection in the app, you need to refresh the browser for the chart to be displayed again.

 

Dynamic views

• Dynamic views that you delete from one app are also deleted from every other app that was using the same view. There is no workaround for this issue. Avoid deleting views that might already be in use by other apps.
• When you create a new dynamic view in the assets pane, the dropdown menu item does not automatically change to show the charts of the newly created dynamic view if there are any existing dynamic views. You must click on the dropdown menu to choose the newly created view.
• The data for a dynamic view is automatically refreshed whenever you open a sheet that contains charts for the view. The same happens when you enter and then return from the global selections pane, and when you add a new chart for the view. Refrain from performing these actions on the base app to prevent triggering refreshes.
• The view of a dynamic chart is cleared and shows a message indicating a view constraint violation whenever you change the selection state of the base app in a way that violates the view's constraints. Refrain from changing the selection state of the base app until it has finished making use of the data in any of the dynamic view charts.
• The ‘Go to source’ option on a snapshot slide (available on right-click) for a dynamic chart does not select the actual dynamic chart when you change the view to the base app sheet.
• Changes to chart settings for dynamic view charts using the Exploration menu are lost after refreshing the view.
• Dynamic views do not support the Trellis extension.

 

Managing a Qlik Sense site

• The Edit pane under Custom properties in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) can currently handle a limited number of custom properties. If you want to edit custom property values in the QMC, we recommend keeping the number of custom property values to a maximum of 500. If you want to apply values without modifying them, the QMC can handle up to 10,000 custom property values.
• When you remove app objects from an application via the QMC interface, deleted objects are not removed from the application’s binary file stored on the file system.
• It is not possible to use a security rule on the HubSection_* resource to hide the ‘Open hub’ link from the navigation menu when accessing an app as an anonymous user.  
  Workaround: Use reverse proxy to redirect the ‘Open hub’ link to a preferred landing site.
• Windows service Qlik Engine cannot be started on a node where the Qlik Engine service is disabled through the QMC. Every time Windows restarts for that node, the Qlik Engine service fails to start up and throws an error in Windows event logs. You can prevent this by temporarily disabling the Qlik Engine service in Windows Service Manager.
• Data connection passwords containing special characters (such as "=", "%", or ";") are not properly encoded when updated via the QMC. This causes authentication errors when trying to connect to specific data sources, which could cause reload tasks to fail.  
  Workaround: Use the data load editor to update the password. Note that once the password is updated, the name of the data connection is automatically appended by "(domain_userId)". You can adjust this later via the QMC.

 

Qlik Sense Desktop

• Qlik Sense Desktop can play WebM and Ogg but not MP4 files. This is due to limitations in Chromium.

 

Connectors

• REST connector: The ‘Next token’ pagination option does not work when the pagination token has the same value for each page.
• For connectors in the ODBC Connector Package only the data types listed as supported in the online help have been verified to work correctly in the Preview and Script editor. However, the ODBC Connector Package does not prevent you from loading other data types. In some cases, you can load unsupported data types with the load script.
• ODBC connector: Database connectors in the ODBC Connector Package do not work properly if the username on the Microsoft Windows system running Qlik Sense Desktop contains letters that are not English alphanumeric characters.
  Workaround: Change the Windows system locale to match the character set that contains the characters used in the username. For example, if the system locale on the system running Qlik Sense Desktop is set to English and a username contains Swedish characters, you must change the system locale to Swedish for the ODBC connector to work properly.
• The Qlik Salesforce connector does not support PK chunking on sharing objects. PK chunking is only supported on parent objects.
• The Apache Phoenix connector does not support non-Latin characters in metadata. The connector might return corrupted data or unpredictable query results if you run a query with non-Latin characters in metadata, such as table names, column names, and aliases.

 

Cloud deployments and Multi-Cloud

• When you download a pivot table in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, expanded rows are not included but stay collapsed.

Migration and upgrade

This section describes the issues that you may encounter when upgrading/migrating to the new version.

Upgrade paths

Qlik supports four Replicate versions (including this one).

Direct upgrade is supported from the last two versions only (including any service releases for those versions). The last two versions are Replicate May 2023 SR and Replicate November 2023 SR.

Upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6)

If you are upgrading from Replicate April 2020 (6.6), you need to perform the following upgrades:

1. Upgrade to Replicate November 2020 (7.0).
2. Upgrade to Replicate November 2021.
3. Upgrade to Replicate November 2022.
4. Upgrade to Replicate May 2024.

Upgrading from unsupported versions

If you are upgrading from Replicate 6.x (starting from 6.3), you need to perform the following upgrades:

1. Upgrade to Replicate 6.5.
2. Upgrade to Replicate November 2020 (7.0).
3. Upgrade to Replicate November 2021.
4. Upgrade to Replicate November 2022.
5. Upgrade to Replicate May 2024.

Note: If you are upgrading from Replicate 5.5, please contact Qlik Support.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 upgrade/installation prerequisite

• Using the Setup Wizard - It is preferable for .NET Framework 4.8 to be installed on the Replicate Server machine before running Setup. If .NET Framework 4.8 is not present on the machine, Setup will prompt you to install it. This may require the machine to be rebooted once the installation completes.
• Silent Installation – When recording an Install Shield Silent response file (ISS), the recording must be done on a machine with .NET 4.8 already installed on it as the silent installation process does not include a separate installation of .NET framework 4.8.

Deleting the Replicate self-signed certificate after upgrade

Note: This procedure does not need to be performed when upgrading from Replicate November 2022 or later.

After upgrading, customers that are using Replicate's self-signed certificate (i.e. instead of their own certificate) should perform the following procedure:

1. Delete all *.pem files from <replicate_data_folder>/ssl/data.
2. Restart the Qlik Replicate Server service.

This will cause Replicate to generate a new self-signed certificate, thereby ensuring that the certificate will be accepted by newer clients (browsers) that select the more secure TLS 1.3 protocol.

Note that if you do not perform the above procedure, the following error will be encountered when connecting to Replicate Console:

SYS,GENERAL_EXCEPTION,The underlying connection was closed: Could not establish trust relationship for the SSL/TLS secure channel.

Upgrading an installation with multiple data folders

When upgrading a Replicate installation with multiple Data folders, only the default Data folder (<Product_Dir>\Data) will be automatically upgraded. The other Data folders need to be updated manually by running the following command:

repuictl.exe -d <data_folder_path> setup install

Compatibility with related products

This version of Replicate is compatible with the following related products only:

• Enterprise Manager May 2024 or later
• Compose November 2023 or later
• Compose for Data Lakes April 2020 (6.6)

Required post-upgrade steps for tasks with a SAP ODP source endpoint

When upgrading from Replicate versions earlier than Replicate May 2023 SP2, you must perform the following steps in the Replicate Console after the upgrade completes:

1. Select Advanced Run Options from the Run menu.
2. Choose Metadata Only  and then select Create missing tables and then stop. Click OK. 
3. The task will run, collect missing metadata, and then stop.
4. Resume the task after it stops.

End of life/support features

This section provides information about End of Life versions, End of Support features, and deprecated features.

Resolved Defects

The following Release Notes cover resolved defects for Qlik Cloud. Solved issues and limitations for Qlik Cloud Services are also listed.

QB-25674	Visualizations: Collapsed filterpane not synched with selections	Resolved an issue where a collapsed filterpane bar did not show the correct selection after selections were removed.
QB-25615	GeoOperations wizard does not quote field names with special characters	When generating the field name select statement for generated scripts, GeoOperations did not put field names in square brackets when needed, causing the operation to possibly fail when executed. This has now been resolved.
QB-25161	User licenses: Entitlement migration during IdP transitions	Resolved an issue with the migration of existing entitlements in the context of changing Identity Providers (IdPs).
QB-25677	Databricks connector: OAuth authentication problem related to character length of connection string	Fixed an issue that caused errors in authenticating a Databricks connection via Azure OAuth. The problem was caused by a change in the character length of the connection string. The issue has been fixed by excluding OAuth tokens from connection string length validation, and additionally by providing these tokens with their own length limit of 16kb.

Improved handling of cross-origin resources by enhancing URL

Jira issue ID: OP-95964
Improved the handling of cross-origin resources by enhancing URL validation.

User import tasks ended incorrectly with audit trail enabled

Jira issue ID: OP-95973
Users’ import tasks were randomly completed incorrectly when audit trail was active.

Object filters incompatible with other applied filters resulted in report generation error

Jira issue ID: OP-95952
If an object filter was incompatible with other filters (report, task or user) applied to the same report, the generation process could fail, resulting in an error. Alternatively, the report might display the object ID tag instead of an empty space. May 2022 was unaffected.

PDF reports from PowerPoint templates aligned charts incorrectly

Jira issue ID: OP-95954
PDF reports generated from PowerPoint templates aligned charts wrongly. Only Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR1, SR2 and SR3 were affected.

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it lists all known major issues and limitations. We expect to have these issues fixed in future versions.

Supported languages

The following languages are supported:

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Japanese
• Italian
• Simplified Chinese

Other languages are not officially supported. There may be issues with other languages, particularly those with right-to-left script and non-Roman alphabets.

Qlik Sense custom size sheets

Qlik Sense custom size sheets are not supported. Custom size will not be maintained on export.
Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.

Alternate states

QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.

Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives

Jira issue ID: OP-6196
Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, and Designer can only be installed on C: drives. Any attempt to install them on a different drive will result in task failures.

Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice

Jira issue ID: OP-5831
When you add the same object twice, using the Images node in Qlik NPrinting Designer, only the image size property of the first image is respected.

QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense

It is possible to select the “Enable” check box in On-Demand for reports using Qlik Sense app data. These reports are visible in the QlikView On-Demand menu of the QlikView On-Demand add-on. But if selected, they will not generate reports, and you will see an error message.

Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings

If you experience random crashes when using Qlik NPrinting Designer, open your Windows Display Settings in the Control Panel and verify that Smaller – 100% (default) is selected. When settings of 125% or 150% are selected, Qlik NPrinting Designer may crash.

On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge

Jira issue ID: OP-5908
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the “origin” HTTP header is not generated. This results in the error message “REVEL_CSRF: tokens mismatch”.
The workaround is to install Qlik NPrinting On-Demand on a Microsoft IIS server hosting QlikView Access point or use a different web browser.

Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors

Jira issue ID: OP-4940
Qlik NPrinting Designer may be unable to open a report template if there are too many filters associated with a connection in the report's app. The following error message displays: “A task was canceled”.
This typically happens when more than 4000 filters are using fields from a connection. Sometimes, higher numbers can work. For example, 7000 filters have worked in some situations.
The workaround is:
1. Split the Qlik NPrinting app into separate apps.
2. Split the connections (possibly by using multiple connections to the same documents in different apps).
3. Split the filters across apps (so that the filter count per app is lower).

Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'

Jira issue ID: OP-4839
Some Qlik NPrinting tasks fail with the error message: “Exceeded maximum number of retries”. This is due to a performance issue in QlikView that appears when it exports large unfiltered files to Excel.

Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status

Jira issue ID: OP-5278
In some rare circumstances, pressing the Verify connection button will cause the screen to freeze on the “Initializing…” status and the spinning wheel cursor. This happens when a Qlik NPrinting Engine goes offline and Verify connection is pressed before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler is aware that it is offline. It can take up to 20 seconds before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler determines the offline status of a Qlik NPrinting Engine.

User filters are excluded from matching and object filters

Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:

• Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
• Import a report

The filters associated with each user are not uploaded, or displayed, for performance reasons. Waiting for all filters for thousands of users to import would take a long time. In most cases, importing this information is unnecessary, because filters created for users often contain something like the user IDs. You can change this behavior and make all filters visible by uncommenting the line <!--<add key="include-user-filters" />--> in the webengine.config file.
To make a specific filter visible in the lists, remove its association to all users, or create a new filter with the same fields and values not linked to any user.

Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment

Jira issue ID: OP-3986
The rollback that follows a Qlik NPrinting Server or Engine upgrade cancellation may corrupt the related Qlik NPrinting installation. A rollback is triggered by errors or by clicking the cancel button during the upgrade execution. After a corruption caused by a rollback, services may be uninstalled or cannot be started.
To restore a Qlik NPrinting Server to its original status:

• Retrieve a recent backup
• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
• Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
• Restore the backup

You should always create a backup before starting an update. In any case, a backup is automatically created in the folder "%ProgramData%\NPrinting" at the beginning of the upgrade process. To restore a Qlik NPrinting Engine to original status:

• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
• Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine

Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task

Jira issue ID: OP-7560
Add title functionality is not supported on Qlik Sense objects with Assistance mode enabled. The workaround to restore the Add title functionality is to disable Assistance mode for the chart in Qlik Sense. Then reload the metadata of the connection.

Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions

Jira issue ID: OP-7568
Qlik Sense objects made in Assistance mode cannot be used as tables, columns, or cells in Qlik NPrinting. To restore them, disable Assistance mode on the chart in Qlik Sense; then reload the metadata of the connection. Furthermore, if a Qlik Sense object made with Assistance mode is exported as a table, column, or cell using Qlik NPrinting APIs, the request will fail.

Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-7165
Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported in PixelPerfect templates. Generated reports will use a different font, and not look as expected.

Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality

Jira issue ID: OP-7747
The following functionalities are not supported for Qlik Sense tables that have a "Show column if" condition set on one or more of their columns: levels, single column export, and keep source formats.

Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails

Jira issue ID: OP-8382
Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections applied on calculated dimensions will fail. However, you can apply selections on dimensions based on Qlik Sense fields. The workaround is to move the formula to the load script and use the calculated fields to apply selections to your On-Demand reports.

Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node

Jira issue ID: OP-8985
Due to the internal way of exporting Qlik Sense histograms, you cannot add them to the Qlik NPrinting Designer Tables node. If you add a Qlik Sense histogram to the Tables node, you will not receive any errors or warning messages, but the exported data will be wrong.

QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities

Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:

• Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
• Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
• Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.

Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-9087
You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause a Qlik NPrinting Designer crash. The workarounds are to insert the Excel worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer:

• Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
• If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.

Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations

Jira issue ID: OP-9067
Dynamic views is a new Qlik Sense feature starting from June 2020.
If you connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app that contains a chart used to generate dynamic views, the chart and the containing sheet are excluded from the Qlik NPrinting connection cache and cannot be used in reports.
You can connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app containing dynamic views. However, after a dynamic view refresh, the connection will stop working.

Reports size limit

Jira issue ID: OP-9628
Starting from November 2020, RabbitMQ Server (deployed as Qlik NPrinting Messaging Service) has been updated to version 3.8.3. It has an internal limit, not configurable, about messages size of 512MB. Previous limit was 2GB. As consequence, is not possible to generate Qlik NPrinting reports bigger than 512MB.

Excel print area with more than one range

Jira issue ID: OP-9766
Excel worksheet print areas can contain more than one range if the generation of the report does not expand the print area. If it expands, you will see an error: “Invalid Cell Name”. For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.

Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive

Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.

The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports

Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.

Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF

Jira issue ID: OP-95599

If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.

 QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-95682

QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.

Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text

Jira issue ID: OP-95797

Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.

If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than April 2018, you must upgrade to Qlik NPrinting April 2018 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR4.

If you have a version of Qlik NPrinting older than 17.3, you must first upgrade to Qlik NPrinting 17.3. Then you
must upgrade to a version from April 2018 to May 2021 SR4 before you can upgrade to Qlik NPrinting May
2023 SR4.

If you are upgrading from a version older than February 2018, all metadata caches (QlikView and Qlik Sense) will be marked as "not generated". This is due to a breaking change in the format of the metadata cache. All connection caches must be regenerated before you can edit a template or create a new connection.

You must back up your data before you proceed. Data can become damaged if a problem occurs during the
upgrade. If data is damaged, a backup is required to restore the repository. See: Backup and restore of a
repository.

Improved the handling of cross-origin resources by enhancing URL validation.

User import tasks ended incorrectly with audit trail enabled

Jira issue ID: OP-95973
Users’ import tasks were randomly completed incorrectly when audit trail was active.

Object filters incompatible with other applied filters resulted in report generation error

Jira issue ID: OP-95952
If an object filter was incompatible with other filters (report, task or user) applied to the same report, the generation process could fail, resulting in an error. Alternatively, the report might display the object ID tag instead of an empty space. May 2022 was unaffected.

PDF reports from PowerPoint templates aligned charts incorrectly 

Jira issue ID: OP-95954
PDF reports generated from PowerPoint templates had charts aligned incorrectly. Only Qlik NPrinting May 2023 SR1, SR2 and SR3 were affected.

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it lists all known major issues and limitations. We expect to have these issues fixed in future versions.

Supported languages

The following languages are supported:

• English
• French
• German
• Spanish
• Brazilian Portuguese
• Japanese
• Italian
• Simplified Chinese

Other languages are not officially supported. There may be issues with other languages, particularly those with right-to-left script and non-Roman alphabets.

Qlik Sense custom size sheets

Qlik Sense custom size sheets are not supported. Custom size will not be maintained on export.
Alternate states
QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.

Alternate states

QlikView and Qlik Sense alternate states are not supported.

Qlik NPrinting must be installed only on C: drives

Jira issue ID: OP-6196
Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, and Designer can only be installed on C: drives. Any attempt to install them on a different drive will result in task failures.

Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice

Jira issue ID: OP-5831
When you add the same object twice, using the Images node in Qlik NPrinting Designer, only the image size property of the first image is respected.

QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense

It is possible to select the “Enable” check box in On-Demand for reports using Qlik Sense app data. These reports are visible in the QlikView On-Demand menu of the QlikView On-Demand add-on. But if selected, they will not generate reports, and you will see an error message.

Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings

If you experience random crashes when using Qlik NPrinting Designer, open your Windows Display Settings in the Control Panel and verify that Smaller – 100% (default) is selected. When settings of 125% or 150% are selected, Qlik NPrinting Designer may crash.

On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge

Jira issue ID: OP-5908
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the “origin” HTTP header is not generated. This results in the error message “REVEL_CSRF: tokens mismatch”.
The workaround is to install Qlik NPrinting On-Demand on a Microsoft IIS server hosting QlikView Access point or use a different web browser.

Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors

Jira issue ID: OP-4940
Qlik NPrinting Designer may be unable to open a report template if there are too many filters associated with a connection in the report's app. The following error message displays: “A task was canceled”.
This typically happens when more than 4000 filters are using fields from a connection. Sometimes, higher numbers can work. For example, 7000 filters have worked in some situations.
The workaround is:
1. Split the Qlik NPrinting app into separate apps.
2. Split the connections (possibly by using multiple connections to the same documents in different apps).
3. Split the filters across apps (so that the filter count per app is lower).

Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'

Jira issue ID: OP-4839
Some Qlik NPrinting tasks fail with the error message: “Exceeded maximum number of retries”. This is due to a performance issue in QlikView that appears when it exports large unfiltered files to Excel.

Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status

Jira issue ID: OP-5278
In some rare circumstances, pressing the Verify connection button will cause the screen to freeze on the “Initializing…” status and the spinning wheel cursor. This happens when a Qlik NPrinting Engine goes offline and Verify connection is pressed before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler is aware that it is offline. It can take up to 20 seconds before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler determines the offline status of a Qlik NPrinting Engine.

User filters are excluded from matching and object filters

Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:

• Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
• Import a report

The filters associated with each user are not uploaded, or displayed, for performance reasons. Waiting for all filters for thousands of users to import would take a long time. In most cases, importing this information is unnecessary, because filters created for users often contain something like the user IDs. You can change this behavior and make all filters visible by uncommenting the line <!--<add key="include-user-filters" />--> in the webengine.config file.
To make a specific filter visible in the lists, remove its association to all users, or create a new filter with the same fields and values not linked to any user.

Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment

Jira issue ID: OP-3986
The rollback that follows a Qlik NPrinting Server or Engine upgrade cancellation may corrupt the related Qlik NPrinting installation. A rollback is triggered by errors or by clicking the cancel button during the upgrade execution. After a corruption caused by a rollback, services may be uninstalled or cannot be started.
To restore a Qlik NPrinting Server to its original status:

• Retrieve a recent backup
• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
• Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
• Restore the backup

You should always create a backup before starting an update. In any case, a backup is automatically created in the folder "%ProgramData%\NPrinting" at the beginning of the upgrade process. To restore a Qlik NPrinting Engine to original status:

• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
• Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine

Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task

Jira issue ID: OP-7560
Add title functionality is not supported on Qlik Sense objects with Assistance mode enabled. The workaround to restore the Add title functionality is to disable Assistance mode for the chart in Qlik Sense. Then reload the metadata of the connection.

Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions

Jira issue ID: OP-7568
Qlik Sense objects made in Assistance mode cannot be used as tables, columns, or cells in Qlik NPrinting. To restore them, disable Assistance mode on the chart in Qlik Sense; then reload the metadata of the connection. Furthermore, if a Qlik Sense object made with Assistance mode is exported as a table, column, or cell using Qlik NPrinting APIs, the request will fail.

Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-7165
Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported in PixelPerfect templates. Generated reports will use a different font, and not look as expected.

Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality

Jira issue ID: OP-7747
The following functionalities are not supported for Qlik Sense tables that have a "Show column if" condition set on one or more of their columns: levels, single column export, and keep source formats.

Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails

Jira issue ID: OP-8382
Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections applied on calculated dimensions will fail. However, you can apply selections on dimensions based on Qlik Sense fields. The workaround is to move the formula to the load script and use the calculated fields to apply selections to your On-Demand reports.

Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node

Jira issue ID: OP-8985
Due to the internal way of exporting Qlik Sense histograms, you cannot add them to the Qlik NPrinting Designer Tables node. If you add a Qlik Sense histogram to the Tables node, you will not receive any errors or warning messages, but the exported data will be wrong.

QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities

Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:

• Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
• Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
• Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.

Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-9087
You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause a Qlik NPrinting Designer crash. The workarounds are to insert the Excel worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer:

• Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
• If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.

Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations

Jira issue ID: OP-9067
Dynamic views is a new Qlik Sense feature starting from June 2020.
If you connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app that contains a chart used to generate dynamic views, the chart and the containing sheet are excluded from the Qlik NPrinting connection cache and cannot be used in reports.
You can connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app containing dynamic views. However, after a dynamic view refresh, the connection will stop working.

Reports size limit

Jira issue ID: OP-9628
Starting from November 2020, RabbitMQ Server (deployed as Qlik NPrinting Messaging Service) has been updated to version 3.8.3. It has an internal limit, not configurable, about messages size of 512MB. Previous limit was 2GB. As consequence, is not possible to generate Qlik NPrinting reports bigger than 512MB.

Excel print area with more than one range

Jira issue ID: OP-9766
Excel worksheet print areas can contain more than one range if the generation of the report does not expand the print area. If it expands, you will see an error: “Invalid Cell Name”. For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.

Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive

Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.

The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports

Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.

Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF

Jira issue ID: OP-95599

If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.

 QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-95682

QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.

Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text

Jira issue ID: OP-95797

Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.

The following release notes cover the versions of QlikView released in May 2023.

What’s new in QlikView May 2023

QlikView Desktop using WebView2

QlikView Desktop has changed its rendering engine to WebView2. WebView2 is a modern Microsoft Edge based web technology replacing the previous WebView that was based in MS Internet Explorer technology.

 

TLS 1.3 support

TLS 1.3 support has been added to QlikView May 2023. With this support has been dropped of TLS 1.0 and 1.1. This means that QlikView supports TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.

 

Stronger encryption used

QlikView May 2023 now uses AES256 encryption instead of AES128. This is mainly used in the inter-service communication and means you must generate new keys if you are running your QlikView services with certificate trust.

 

Time Series breakdown functionality

Several new functions allow you to decompose a time series dataset into trend and seasonality. The trend function identifies direction in the data, and the seasonality function determines seasonality with a known periodicity. The residual function identifies variation that is not associated with seasonal or trend components (noise). With these functions, you now have increased visibility into the patterns and trends in your time series data so you can better plan future action.

 

Additional functions in the expressions

Additional functions from the Cephes library have been added, allowing you to perform more advanced statistical analysis of simulations

 

Improvement to customizations of the AccessPoint

When upgrading a system after having customized the AccessPoint, these changes will now persist across the upgrade.

 

Home button

A home button has been added to the AJAX client and the IE Plugin. This button takes you back to the AccessPoint.

 

Direct Discovery functionality disabled

Direct Discovery functionality has been disabled in QlikView May 2023. If you still need to use this, please contact Qlik support for information on how to enable it.

 

Notice of future depreciation – QlikView Mobile client

The support for the QlikView Mobile client will be removed in the next feature release of QlikView, currently planned for May 2024. You will still be able to use the Ajax client on both a phone and tablet, but the native application will be removed.

Upgrade notes

Upgrading when using certificates for authorization

 

If a standard Upgrade is done, new certificates will be created using the AES 256

GCM mode as part of the upgrade. Instructions for upgrading QlikView with new certificates mode (GCM) – Before implementing this, TLS 1.2 has to be enabled for QVS to work normally.

Perform the upgrade on all machines in the cluster.

After completion, the installer will ask you to restart the machine/s.

After restart and services are running, stop all the services and open "C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service\QVManagementService.exe.config" and apply the following config:

 <add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>

If Services are clustered, all the cluster nodes also need the new certificate.

Add into resp config files for each (one on each node):

<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="true"></add>

or

InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey=1 if QVS.

Start the QMS first and then rest of all services

In the QMC, go to the service’s System/setup, for example if QDS select the node and distribute the new certificates to QDS machine with Apply in setup and follow the popup instructions. Do this for one service om each node to distribute new certs mode. Stop QMS again and all services. Make above configuration false in all config/settings files

"<add key="InstallingNewCertificatesAndCryptoKey" value="false"></add>".

Start all services. All machines in the cluster shall now have the new certs mode.

If you for some reason need to downgrade to the previous version again, follow this

Support Article to re-generate certificates using the old encryption algorithm.

What’s new in QlikView May 2023 SR1

 

Known issues:

QV-24977: Because of a critical issue with chart rendering in NPrinting reports we had to revert the fix QV-19899. This is a potential problem for servers with Enable Push from Server enabled since it can lead to reports failing. If this should occur, we recommend disabling Push from Server.

 

QV-24924: This is an issue that has been fixed, but as a consequence you now need to ensure that the previously entered URL under “Internet Explorer mode pages” in Edge needs to be removed before you re-add it. The file the IE Plugin uses is now a different one than previous.  The new URLs should all reference AccessPointIE.aspx if you use a default installation.

Resolved Defects

QV-24423	Key Fields displayed incorrectly for QlikView QVF apps	Key Fields are now displayed correctly in the Document Properties window for both formats of QlikView apps: QVW and QVF.
QV-24379	Send to Excel option missing in WebView	The Send to Excel option is now working as expected in WebView.
QV-24298	Sort by state error for listboxes in containers	Sort by state is now working as expected for listboxes inside containers.
QV-24184	Sort by state error for listboxes in containers	Sort by state is now working as expected for listboxes inside containers.
QB-21429	Qlik Sense Engine: Data load from CSV picks up extra values	Fixed a problem that caused a whitespace (space or tab) after a delimiter to disable MSQ interpretation on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
QB-20400	Issue with quoting characters in CSV files	Fixed an issue with double quotes and carriage returns when loading from a CSV file in Qlik Cloud. Quoting now works with multiple lines and escaped quoting characters.
QB-20299	Fix for drill-down on calculated dimensions	Fixed so that all items in a calculated dimension can be selected properly during drill-down.

What’s new

New function for key driver analysis

The function MutualInfo() calculates the mutual information between two fields.

New option for container objects

It is now possible to hide tabs in the container object. The object will show the first non-hidden object.

Mekko chart total on top

QVF support

Support for the QVF file format was introduced already in the May 2021 version. With the May 2022 version the QVF format will be the default file format for new documents. The old QVW file format will still work and will be the default save format for existing QVWs.

If a server has two documents with the same base name but different extensions, the QVW will be inactivated. The meta and shared files will however be used also by the QVF.

There is no cross-compatibility between QlikView QVF files and Qlik Sense QVF files.

.NET

The QlikView Server services have been upgraded to .NET 4.8.

Persisted Doc Admin cache

Previously, the Doc Admin cache was just in memory and was erased if the QMS service was restarted. Now the cache is persisted in a database.

Email Alerts for the Tasks finished with warning

Previously, the QlikView Server have had the functionality to send an email alert if any of the tasks would fail on the reload. Now we have added possibility to also include tasks that finished with warnings.

Log collector tool

The 'Log collector' tool developed by the Qlik Support has now been integrated into the QlikView QMC. For a clustered environment, there are some limitations: Only the logs from QVS and QDS are collected.

Source document tracking

The user document, created in a Loop and Reduce process, now contains information about the task name and last execution time. This is found in the document support information.

Release notes QlikView May 2022 SR1

What’s new

Support for HSTS has been added for the QlikView Management Console

HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is a policy mechanism that helps to protect websites against man-in-the-middle attacks such as protocol downgrade attacks and cookie hijacking.

QlikView Desktop dialog box opens on existing monitor

In previous versions, a dialog opens off-screen if it at a prior time was used on a second monitor. This has now been changed. The dialog is now moved so that at least a part of it is visible on the existing monitor.

RC4 encryption can be turned off

There is now the possibility to disable the RC4 encryption and only use AES128. The benefit is stricter security, however with the limitation that the 'Open In Server' command cannot be used on some Windows versions due to limitations in these operating systems. This also prevents all use of the QlikView IE Plugin client on these operating systems.

To disable the RC4 encryption, you need to make changes in the configuration files. See the following support article: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Disable-RC4-stream-cipher-in-QlikView-May-2022-12-70-SR1-or/ta-p/1988220

Resolved Defects

The following Release Notes cover resolved defects for Qlik Cloud. Solved issues and limitations for Qlik Cloud Services are also listed.

QB-25098	Qlik Cloud Hub: App's description is cleared when the app's name is updated	Fixed a problem that would clear an app's description when the app's name was changed.
QB-24943	Visualizations: Map chart label coloring not functional through exploration menu	Fixed a problem that caused changes to the base map and language setting when changing the label coloring for map charts in the exploration menu.
QB-24356	Qlik Cloud Engine: Large app usage is double-counted	When a second user tried to open an app that was already open, the request was denied and the app usage was counted twice. This has been fixed and large apps are not double-counted towards the large app quota.
QB-25050	Qlik Cloud Engine: Reload error message not saved to reload summary	When a reload crashed on a max-size engine, the error message was not saved in the reload summary. This has been fixed and reload error messages are now saved to the summary.
QB-25219	Qlik Content Security Policy: "blob:"-type URIs are not allowed	It is now possible to use "blob:"-type URIs as an origin for media-src.
QB-24911	Visualizations: Some lines disappear when scrolling line charts	Fixed a problem where, for certain datasets, two-dimensional line charts sometimes failed to show all lines when scrolling.
QB-25189	Visualizations: Turning off "Toggling selection toolbar" does not work in filter panes	Fixed a problem where the show selections toolbar was not working because the property was not propagated to the component. A rendering test has also been added to capture similar problems in the future.
QB-24752	Visualizations: New slides in storytelling are not placed at the end of exported PDF	New storytelling slides will always be placed at the end of the story.
QB-25055	Visualizations: Calculation condition does not work correctly	The name of the calculated item was not displayed when the condition was not met. This has been fixed and the labels for dimension expressions are shown instead of showing an error text.
QB-24411	Visualizations: Expression for legend label in distribution plot not evaluated	Using an expression for a legend label wasn't evaluated in a distribution plot. For this fix to take effect, the user will need to reapply the properties for the visualization to pick up the change.
QB-23975	Qlik NL Insights: Incorrect Dutch translation	NL Insights for "top dimensions" have been updated to the correct translation in Dutch.
QB-25340	Qlik Cloud Data Integration: Manual database input load fails	When using database manual input, users with low privileges could not get a list of databases and instead would get an error message ("Failed to prepare data app"). With this fix, users with low privileges will instead get the database that was manually input during the connection's creation.
QB-25217	Qlik Data Prep: Limited field of view in the Add Data dialog in Data Manager on Chrome and Edge	When selecting a source data file, the preview window was limited to only showing one row. This has been solved by fixing a rendering problem in the Add Data Dialog on the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions.
QB-25384	Qlik Cloud Data Prep: Error in expressions with label name	Fixed a validation issue in the expression editor when using labels. This ensures that the expression editor is aware of existing labels when performing a validation.
QB-21357	Qlik Catalog: Lineage and Impact analysis fails with "500 Internal Server Error"	Apps with incomplete lineage would fail with "500 Internal Server Error" when accessing the lineage or impact analysis. Incomplete lineage is now correctly handled and the relevant information is presented to the user.
QB-24236	Qlik Cloud Engine: Problems with Dynamic views	Fixed a problem where session apps did not inherit their source apps' space. This caused them to reside in the user's personal space instead.
QB-25332	Qlik Cloud Engine: Snowflake reloads timeout due to slow performance	Snowflake reloads were timing out due to slow performance. The performance degradation was related to lineage data collection during the reload. This has been fixed with an increased reload duration with scripts that have a large number of concatenations.
QB-24906	Qlik Engine: Issues with field name when storing Parquet files	Fixed an issue with field names containing a "." character when storing Parquet files.
QB-25083	Qlik Cloud Visualizations: Blank listboxes in layout containers	In some cases, if the color object sent to the color resolver was invalid, it would result in an error message and the listbox would not render. We added sanity checks to ensure the validity of the color object and added a unit test to ensure the function can handle invalid data without throwing an error.
QB-25168	SQL Transformation in QCDI is dropping table parameters	In some cases when a dataset was addedto a custom SQL dataset ait was not saved.
QB-25640	Visualizations: Distribution plot limitation.	The message "Currently showing limited dataset" for distribution plots is now also shown when you're exactly on the limit.

What's new in February 2024

Please refer to the What’s new sections of the online help for information about the new and updated features of the Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024 release:

What's new in Qlik Sense February 2024 (Users)

What's new in Qlik Sense February 2024 (Developers)

What's new in Qlik Sense February 2024 (Administrators)

 

February 2024

New load balancing algorithm

The load balancing algorithm has been improved by using Engine health check data. As part of the Engine health check data we now store the CPU usage and free memory information per Engine node. Now, apps can be routed to nodes based on this data to make sure nodes are receiving new apps or new sessions based on their current usage.

Added support for SHA-384

Support for SHA-384 has been added for a higher encryption within a Qlik Sense deployment. After a new installation or upgrade, SHA-256 will still be selected but the configuration can be changed into SHA-384 certificates.

Export functionality added for audits in the QMC

With the February 2024 release, you can now export your audit results out of your QMC into CSV files and use those values outside of your Qlik Sense Enterprise deployment.

Data window functions in engine load script

Customers can now perform complex calculations on their data tables in the Qlik load script to perform aggregation on different partitions without losing the granularity of their data.

This functionality is commonly used in SQL and with many ML data preparation use cases.

New pivot table

The new Pivot table is here with a set of new features:

• Dimension headers
• Null value custom symbol, foreground and background color
• Grid styling with width and color
• Font styling for size, color and family for headers and cell contents
• Totals styling and placement options: above or below
• Column width options, set to auto, in pixels or with percentage
• Scrollbars outside chart
• Interactive sort of dimensions

All of the above are designed and added based on feedback from our users. The new Pivot table is launched in the Visualization bundle and will replace native pivot next year when additional features are added.

Layout container

The Layout container is a new component in the Dashboard bundle. In the Layout container, charts can be placed in a freeform manner with or without a snapping grid. Charts can overlap, be stacked, and controlled with show conditions. The Layout container is highly versatile but especially useful for:

• Grouping charts together
• Combining charts into new visualizations
• Creating composite KPIs
• Grouping and reusing user controls and buttons
• Creating aesthetic pleasing dashboards

To get the most out the layout container, follow best practices, check out Bruno Calver's talk at Techspert Visualization Day on Qlik Community.

Styling Grid, Funnel & Sankey charts

The Grid chart, Funnel chart, and the Sankey chart have been upgraded with the new property panel for styling. The styling includes general settings for title, subtitle, footnote, background, border and shadow and chart specific settings for axis and value labels.

Filter pane styling

The Filter pane now gets more properties for styling: General settings for title font styling, background, border and shadow. Chart specific styling for header and content font styling, color settings for selection state, background color and image.

Borders and shadows

As of today, most charts receive settings for borders and shadows. Charts inherit the border setting from the theme but the border width and color setting can now be overridden and customized per chart. The border can play a big role in how your dashboard is perceived, use it wisely to achieve your goals.

Chart shadow is a new property on charts, providing a shadow contour around the chart, with options for size and color. Shadows create a depth effect and can be used to highlight and make certain elements stand out.

Borders and shadows works very well in the Layout container where charts can overlap and be stacked.

Copy and paste style

You now have a new menu choice for copying style settings from one chart to another. This quality of life improvement makes it easier to style and work with charts. Especially now when all charts has many more styling settings.

 

Resolved Defects

Offline license issue in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024.

The following support article details a workaround: https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Cannot-set-offline-license-in-Qlik-Sense-Enterprise-on-Windows/ta-p/2425091.
This issue will be fixed with the release of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024 Patch 2 on March 20, 2024.

 

February 2024 Patch 3

Key	Title	Description
QB-24656	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Pivot table drag dimension to column fails	Dragging dimensions to columns failed if disabled dimensions were present. This has been fixed and dragging dimensions in a pivot table now sorts correctly.
QB-25165	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unable to add data connection throwing error 404	Resolved a degrade issue that made it impossible to create connections when using virtual proxy prefixes.
QB-25897	Link to helpsite missing in topbar menu	Restored the Help link to the Qlik helpsite in the action menu (...) on the navigation bar.
SHEND-1828	Qlik Sense: Updated Node.js	Qlik Sense February 2024 Patch 3 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches.

 

February 2024 Patch 2

Key	Title	Description
QB-24802	Qlik Sense Mobile: All filter option is not displayed on iOS device	Fixed a problem where zoom on text entry was not reset, resulting in missing filter options.
QB-25217	Qlik Data Prep: Limited field of view in the Add Data dialog in Data Manager on Chrome and Edge	When selecting a source data file, the preview window was limited to only showing one row. This has been solved by fixing a rendering problem in the Add Data Dialog on the latest Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge versions.
QB-25045	Qlik Sense Licensing: Cannot set offline license in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows February 2024	Fixed a problem that would throw an error when using offline license.
QB-21455	Qlik Sense Hub: Favorites icon visible in anonymous sessions	We have removed the Favorite icon for anonymous sessions.

 

February 2024 Patch 1

Key	Title	Description
QB-24440	Qlik Sense: EngineHealth function in QMC stops working when TimeZone is UTC	Fixed a problem where the engine timestamp did not include a timezone offset, presenting only a "Z" instead of the expected "+0000", leading to a failure in converting the timestamp into a readable format. This update addresses a critical issue where the EngineHealth function would cease to operate correctly when the system TimeZone was set to UTC. We have enhanced the functionality within the QMC to ensure robust and accurate parsing of date-time strings across various time zone formats.
QB-24625	Qlik Sense Engine: Access to hidden values possible through Set Analysis on dimension	Fixed a problem where the Section Access value subset was not correctly applied to fields-on-the-fly based on a single key field. This resulted in all key values being visible on the field on the fly, even if Section Access restricted the source key field.
QB-24368	Qlik Sense: Content libraries do not recognize virtual proxy prefix	Fixed a problem where it was not possible to load content library items if a virtual proxy was used.
QB-22171	REST Connector: Slow when importing large files	We have made performance improvements of file import with the REST connector for cases where a table contains a large number of columns.
QB-24441	Qlik NL Insights: NL Insights not working on mashups on Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows	Fixed a problem where NL Insights considered extensions as virtual proxy prefixes, causing the request to use the wrong URL.
QB-24350	Qlik Sense Visualizations: No longer possible to select several areas of the map at the same time	Clicking on one element of a slightly off-screen map would focus on the selection and confirmed it directly. This has been fixed and the map allows multiple selections.
QB-24944	Visualizations: Qlik.Resize() not working in mashups	Fixed a problem where Qlik.Resize() was not working in mashups. Chart rendering on resize is now triggered when the chart starts with zero size.
QB-24577	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Treemap chart color doesn't apply defined custom theme after upgrade	After upgrading to QS May 2023 patch 9, the custom theme was not applied to the treemap. This has been solved, and in cases where the color scheme does not exist, it will fall back to default.

 

February 2024

Key	Title	Description
QB-19742	Connectors: SAP BW/Infoprovider data type "INT8" limitation	The use of CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE was created in SAP_BASIS 46B, so new data types were not supported. This is now resolved by this ticket which was identified by SAP note 551605.
QB-20411	Qlik Engine: Outer set analysis could give different results with a master measure	If a master measure had an inner set using a $-sign expression, then the outer set could be applied erroneously. This meant that the result of an outer set with an expression could give different results than that outer set with an expression in a master measure. This has been fixed and set analysis results are now the same independent of whether the expression is in a master measure or not.
QB-20509	Qlik Engine: Embedded field names are sometimes not detected	Qlik Engine on Linux now correctly detects embedded labels in text files with Japanese and other non-western European languages.
QB-21103	Qlik Engine: Variable definitions are unexpectedly changing during an interactive reload	If a variable was created as an app object (not in script) and a user changed the value of the variable within their session, for example by using the variable input control in the Qlik Sense user interface, and the user then reloaded the app in the same session, the definition of the variable would change to the value in the user's session. This scenario would typically occur during app development, since it requires user-triggered interactive reload, with the same user working in the app, in the same session. This fix ensures that the definition of a variable is always maintained unless it is explicitly changed by an app designer or in a load script. The in-session value of the variable is independently controlled.
QB-21227	Visualizations: When bar chart is selected NVDA screen reader reads incorrect information	Fixed a problem that caused NVDA screen reader to read incorrect information when a bar chart was selected.
QB-21289	Visualizations: Variance waterfall data shows incorrect number abbreviation in Auto mode	This fix formats both the labels and the tips of the variance-waterfall chart based on the first measure format, in both Auto and Number mode.
QB-22155	Qlik Sense: Fail to open Data Load Editor in new tab	The routing was redirecting to a non-existent HMTL file, causing the failure to open the Data Load Editor in a new tab. This fix corrects the routing.
QB-22161	Qlik Sense Hub: Blank space appears in the Hub when app menu is opened	Fixed an issue where a blank space was displayed at the bottom of the screen in the Hub when the app menu was opened using right-click.
QB-22217	Qlik Sense on Windows: Bad request error when connecting to websocket for some formats of headers	This issue affected Qlik Sense on Windows August 2023 Patch 2. A "400 Bad request" error was thrown when connecting to websocket if multiple comma-separated valid headers were entered without entering a whitespace after the comma. This has been fixed and header values are now allowed without whitespaces.
QB-22272	Qlik Sense: Error when reloading Excel data after upgrading to Qlik Sense May2023 patch 6	After upgrading to Qlik Sense May 2023 patch 6, some users saw "Error: Too many columns in data sources (16326) but the limit is 10000)" when reloading Excel data. This has been fixed by updating the default value of MaxColumsInDataSource to 0 for Qlik Sense Enterprise environments. The limit is set to 10,000 in Cloud environments by the cloud management rules in args.yml template.
QB-22497	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Hyperlink in table not working on Qlik Sense August 2022 IR	Fixed a problem where opening a URL from a table would cause the link to have a port attached to the URL. This went against the browser's origin restriction, meaning the iframe didn't show. This was solved by adding a "noopener" to the opening of the link.
QB-22664	Connectors: SAP BW reload fails when processing a variable value with "+" filter	Added support for "+" character in BEx variable values.
QB-22724	Tab Nabbing vulnerability in openNewTab()	Noopener has now been included when opening URLs from button objects.
QB-22750	Visualizations: Copy and paste of cell value fails in iFrame	Copying to clipboard is blocked within iFrames and needs to be specifically allowed on the iFrame properties. Due to the deprecation of execCommand in the browser API, Qlik now uses the never clipboard API. This is however blocked by default in iframes, unless you explicitly allow it. To allow, add: <iframe src="index.html" allow="clipboard-read; clipboard-write"></iframe> execCommand can still be utilized until it is removed. Until then, Qlik supports it as a fallback if the preferred copy solution is blocked.
QB-22795	'Last modified by' is set to INTERNAL\bootstrap at app reload	The 'Modified by' column in QMC apps table is now set to INTERNAL\sa_repository after each app reload, reflecting the repository service updates to the app static byte size. This feature can be toggled on/off in the repository and QMC.
QB-22817	Visualizations: Color by expression not working in bar/line charts	Fixed a problem where color by expression was not applied correctly in some bar and line charts if it was combined with conditionally hidden measures.
QB-22849	Qlik Sense: Dashboard variable input has inconsistent behavior	Fixed a problem where the variable input from the dashboard bundle added an extra option to the dropdown. This extra option was confusing and has now been removed from the dropdown options. A new hidden option has been added that will allow selection of any option in the dropdown when these do not match the current value of the variable.
QB-22966	Qlik Connectors: Drill connector ODBC driver update	The ODBC driver for the Drill connector has been updated to a newer version that includes updates to third-party components.
QB-22968	Qlik Sense: External call to fonts.googleapis.com	The font Qlik Sense loads when the application starts is now loaded from Qlik Sense's own web resources. This means that external calls are no longer made.
QB-23049	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Unable to export to image or PDF when using URL rewrite in Reverse Proxy	Exporting Image/PDF didn't work using a Reverse Proxy prefix if a Virtual Proxy was not provided in the QMC. This fix removes the need to set up a Virtual Proxy in the QMC and instead uses the configurations of the Reverse Proxy to call the correct path to the printing service
QB-23162	Reading Parquet from S3	Added a fix to read parquet files from S3
QB-23280	Qlik Engine: Attribute flag does not affect cardinality of a Pivot table	Fixed a problem where an attribute with a SET statement with the attribute flag set to "false", was not expanding the whole cube to include the SET.
QB-23298	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Abbreviation of dimension labels are too short	Fixed a problem where GetObjectMeasures() did not work when used in a calculated dimension with aggr() method.
QB-23329	Visualizations: Scroll option missing in Link to Sheet selection.	Fixed an error that caused some CSS to not load properly, resulting in the missing scrolling function
QB-23393	Qlik Engine: Parquet file not read correctly	Parquet files were incorrectly ready, producing incorrect data output. This was fixed by supporting decimal types stored as fixed-length byte arrays.
QB-23492	Qlik Sense Visualizations: Total cell is not bold in Pivot table	In Pivot tables with a measure and a dimension in column, the Total value cell was not bold. This has been fixed and the Total value cells are correctly set as bold when there are only column dimensions and indent mode is turned off.
QB-23497	Master measure formatting was not applied in Insight Advisor charts	Resolved an issue where changes were not applied in Insight Advisor charts when master item settings were changed.
QB-23501	Windows authentication pop-up appears when loading background images in charts	The issue has been resolved. The media library button in the property panel was not using the virtual proxy prefix when loading the images.
QB-23548	Qlik Sense Hub: Long app names get truncated	In the Hub, apps with long names were truncated and not shown in the UI. This has been fixed with styling changes to show the app name on the next line if it exceeds a certain length.
QB-23564	Visualizations: Sheet background cannot be inserted via virtual proxy prefix	Resolved an issue where sheet background insertion was not possible via virtual proxy prefix.
QB-23580	Visualizations: Grid chart not allowing filtering on Y-axis dimension	Fixed a problem where gird charts did not render correctly if the current selection did not generate any data.
QB-23712	Visualizations: Selection icon hidden when zoom is used on Qlik Sense Mobile	Fixed a problem where the icon to confirm selections on the filter pane disappeared from the screen when zoom was active. Zooming is now prevented on the search field on small devices.
QB-23717	Visualizations: Clipboard API does not exist in non-secure context (HTTP)	Resolved and issue where write text to clipboard did not exist in nonsecure context (HTTP allowed). Now, a check ensures that the string is copied through a callback function whenever the clipboard API is unavailable.
QB-23790	Qlik Sense Engine: Windows script functionality	Window and WRank script functionality was originally available only on Qlik Cloud. With this fix, the script function is now available for Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows.
QB-23934	Updated filter pane responsiveness	Resolved an issue where the filter pane would appear cropped when made very narrow in some cases.
QB-23976	Fix default context menu in mashups with containers	Resolved an issue where the default context menu of the browser failed to appear in mashups containing containers.
QB-24345	Qlik Sense: Mashups not loading after Qlik Sense upgrade	A comparison for cross-site mashups was not considering a mashup on the same host with a different port to be a cross-site mashup.
QB-24377	Visualizations: Wrong color by dimension	Fixed an issue where changing the first dimension of a two-dimensional chart via the exploration menu could update the "Color by dimension" incorrectly.
SHEND-1522	Qlik Sense: Updated Node.js	Qlik Sense February 2024 updates the version of NodeJS to pick up recent patches

 

Known issues and limitations

The following issues and limitations were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive but lists all known major issues and limitations.

 

Clients

• Third-party extensions are currently not supported on mobile devices, and the Qlik Trusted Extension Developer program does not accredit extensions for use on mobile devices. Generated items might not be visualized properly on a mobile device, depending on individual device specifications, mobile OS, and the size of the Qlik Sense app.
• When you consume Qlik Sense apps using the Microsoft Edge browser on touch/hybrid devices, the long-press action does not work. This prevents you from accessing functions such as an object’s context menu, which requires a long press in touch mode. This is a Microsoft Edge issue.
  Workaround: If you use a hybrid device, turn off touch mode, and then turn it back on again.
• Export as Anonymous does not work for mashups deployed in a domain that is different from the domain where Qlik Sense is installed. Export only works for Anonymous if the mashup is deployed in the same domain as Qlik Sense.
• When using the new Load Extension syntax in the load script, the Data Load Editor syntax completion does not work well after the keyword “Extension” when trying to write the call to an SSE function (AAI function). The script still executes correctly.
• Legend does not show dimension values after row number 3000.
• Limitations when exporting a story to PowerPoint:   
  • Titles are not rescaled as HTML. Font settings are not exported.
  • Storytelling effects are not applied.
  • Exported charts might show fixed scroll bars, depending on the export resolution.
• It is not possible to open the context menu of an org chart on a touch device.
• When you choose to view data in the context menu in a dynamic chart and make a new selection in the app, you need to refresh the browser for the chart to be displayed again.

 

Dynamic views

• Dynamic views that you delete from one app are also deleted from every other app that was using the same view. There is no workaround for this issue. Avoid deleting views that might already be in use by other apps.
• When you create a new dynamic view in the assets pane, the dropdown menu item does not automatically change to show the charts of the newly created dynamic view if there are any existing dynamic views. You must click on the dropdown menu to choose the newly created view.
• The data for a dynamic view is automatically refreshed whenever you open a sheet that contains charts for the view. The same happens when you enter and then return from the global selections pane, and when you add a new chart for the view. Refrain from performing these actions on the base app to prevent triggering refreshes.
• The view of a dynamic chart is cleared and shows a message indicating a view constraint violation whenever you change the selection state of the base app in a way that violates the view's constraints. Refrain from changing the selection state of the base app until it has finished making use of the data in any of the dynamic view charts.
• The ‘Go to source’ option on a snapshot slide (available on right-click) for a dynamic chart does not select the actual dynamic chart when you change the view to the base app sheet.
• Changes to chart settings for dynamic view charts using the Exploration menu are lost after refreshing the view.
• Dynamic views do not support the Trellis extension.

 

Managing a Qlik Sense site

• The Edit pane under Custom properties in the Qlik Management Console (QMC) can currently handle a limited number of custom properties. If you want to edit custom property values in the QMC, we recommend keeping the number of custom property values to a maximum of 500. If you want to apply values without modifying them, the QMC can handle up to 10,000 custom property values.
• When you remove app objects from an application via the QMC interface, deleted objects are not removed from the application’s binary file stored on the file system.
• It is not possible to use a security rule on the HubSection_* resource to hide the ‘Open hub’ link from the navigation menu when accessing an app as an anonymous user.  
  Workaround: Use reverse proxy to redirect the ‘Open hub’ link to a preferred landing site.
• Windows service Qlik Engine cannot be started on a node where the Qlik Engine service is disabled through the QMC. Every time Windows restarts for that node, the Qlik Engine service fails to start up and throws an error in Windows event logs. You can prevent this by temporarily disabling the Qlik Engine service in Windows Service Manager.
• Data connection passwords containing special characters (such as "=", "%", or ";") are not properly encoded when updated via the QMC. This causes authentication errors when trying to connect to specific data sources, which could cause reload tasks to fail.  
  Workaround: Use the data load editor to update the password. Note that once the password is updated, the name of the data connection is automatically appended by "(domain_userId)". You can adjust this later via the QMC.
• NEW! QB-25096 - QMC Reload Failure Despite Successful Script in Qlik Sense Nov 2023 and above: Qlik has identified a compatibility challenge in Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows November 2023 and later releases, which causes unexpected results when using a NetApp as storage. See https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Qlik-Sense-Share-Storage-options-and-requirements/tac-p/2437321 for details. 

 

Qlik Sense Desktop

• Qlik Sense Desktop can play WebM and Ogg but not MP4 files. This is due to limitations in Chromium.

 

Connectors

• REST connector: The ‘Next token’ pagination option does not work when the pagination token has the same value for each page.
• For connectors in the ODBC Connector Package only the data types listed as supported in the online help have been verified to work correctly in the Preview and Script editor. However, the ODBC Connector Package does not prevent you from loading other data types. In some cases, you can load unsupported data types with the load script.
• ODBC connector: Database connectors in the ODBC Connector Package do not work properly if the username on the Microsoft Windows system running Qlik Sense Desktop contains letters that are not English alphanumeric characters.
  Workaround: Change the Windows system locale to match the character set that contains the characters used in the username. For example, if the system locale on the system running Qlik Sense Desktop is set to English and a username contains Swedish characters, you must change the system locale to Swedish for the ODBC connector to work properly.
• The Qlik Salesforce connector does not support PK chunking on sharing objects. PK chunking is only supported on parent objects.
• The Apache Phoenix connector does not support non-Latin characters in metadata. The connector might return corrupted data or unpredictable query results if you run a query with non-Latin characters in metadata, such as table names, column names, and aliases.

 

Cloud deployments and Multi-Cloud

• When you download a pivot table in Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS, expanded rows are not included but stay collapsed.

 

Upgrade notes

3rd party library QT has been updated to version 6.5.4.

SHA-384: Upgrading the certificate signing algorithm requires the restart of Qlik Sense services. For a step-by-step instruction, see Upgrading the certificate signing algorithm. If Qlik NPrinting is connected to the Qlik Sense server, certificates must also be exported to the NPrinting deployment and NPrinting services need to be restarted.

Qlik NPrinting Server, Engine, and Designer can only be installed on C: drives. Any attempt to install them on a different drive will result in task failures.

Image size settings are not respected when adding the same object twice

Jira issue ID: OP-5831
When you add the same object twice, using the Images node in Qlik NPrinting Designer, only the image size property of the first image is respected.

QlikView On-Demand reports cannot be connected to Qlik Sense

It is possible to select the “Enable” check box in On-Demand for reports using Qlik Sense app data. These reports are visible in the QlikView On-Demand menu of the QlikView On-Demand add-on. But if selected, they will not generate reports, and you will see an error message.

Qlik NPrinting Designer crashes sometimes with zoomed screen settings

If you experience random crashes when using Qlik NPrinting Designer, open your Windows Display Settings in the Control Panel and verify that Smaller – 100% (default) is selected. When settings of 125% or 150% are selected, Qlik NPrinting Designer may crash.

On-Demand works in Chrome and Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer (11 or older) or Edge

Jira issue ID: OP-5908
In some cases, when you use Qlik NPrinting On-Demand in Internet Explorer 11 or Edge, the “origin” HTTP header is not generated. This results in the error message “REVEL_CSRF: tokens mismatch”.
The workaround is to install Qlik NPrinting On-Demand on a Microsoft IIS server hosting QlikView Access point or use a different web browser.

Too many users and filters leads to Qlik NPrinting Designer errors

Jira issue ID: OP-4940
Qlik NPrinting Designer may be unable to open a report template if there are too many filters associated with a connection in the report's app. The following error message displays: “A task was canceled”.
This typically happens when more than 4000 filters are using fields from a connection. Sometimes, higher numbers can work. For example, 7000 filters have worked in some situations.
The workaround is:
1. Split the Qlik NPrinting app into separate apps.
2. Split the connections (possibly by using multiple connections to the same documents in different apps).
3. Split the filters across apps (so that the filter count per app is lower).

Task fails with the error 'Exceeded maximum number of retries'

Jira issue ID: OP-4839
Some Qlik NPrinting tasks fail with the error message: “Exceeded maximum number of retries”. This is due to a performance issue in QlikView that appears when it exports large unfiltered files to Excel.

Verify connection freezes during “Initializing…” status

Jira issue ID: OP-5278
In some rare circumstances, pressing the Verify connection button will cause the screen to freeze on the “Initializing…” status and the spinning wheel cursor. This happens when a Qlik NPrinting Engine goes offline and Verify connection is pressed before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler is aware that it is offline. It can take up to 20 seconds before the Qlik NPrinting Scheduler determines the offline status of a Qlik NPrinting Engine.

User filters are excluded from matching and object filters

Jira issue ID: OP-5914
When you:

• Open Qlik NPrinting Designer
• Import a report

The filters associated with each user are not uploaded, or displayed, for performance reasons. Waiting for all filters for thousands of users to import would take a long time. In most cases, importing this information is unnecessary, because filters created for users often contain something like the user IDs. You can change this behavior and make all filters visible by uncommenting the line <!--<add key="include-user-filters" />--> in the webengine.config file.
To make a specific filter visible in the lists, remove its association to all users, or create a new filter with the same fields and values not linked to any user.

Cancelling an upgrade results in a corrupted environment

Jira issue ID: OP-3986
The rollback that follows a Qlik NPrinting Server or Engine upgrade cancellation may corrupt the related Qlik NPrinting installation. A rollback is triggered by errors or by clicking the cancel button during the upgrade execution. After a corruption caused by a rollback, services may be uninstalled or cannot be started.
To restore a Qlik NPrinting Server to its original status:

• Retrieve a recent backup
• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Server
• Perform a clean installation of the same Qlik NPrinting Server of the backup
• Restore the backup

You should always create a backup before starting an update. In any case, a backup is automatically created in the folder "%ProgramData%\NPrinting" at the beginning of the upgrade process. To restore a Qlik NPrinting Engine to original status:

• Uninstall Qlik NPrinting Engine
• Perform a clean installation of Qlik NPrinting Engine

Adding a title to a Sense object with Assistance on generates an error on preview or task

Jira issue ID: OP-7560
Add title functionality is not supported on Qlik Sense objects with Assistance mode enabled. The workaround to restore the Add title functionality is to disable Assistance mode for the chart in Qlik Sense. Then reload the metadata of the connection.

Cannot export tables, columns, and cells from Qlik Sense objects made using chart suggestions

Jira issue ID: OP-7568
Qlik Sense objects made in Assistance mode cannot be used as tables, columns, or cells in Qlik NPrinting. To restore them, disable Assistance mode on the chart in Qlik Sense; then reload the metadata of the connection. Furthermore, if a Qlik Sense object made with Assistance mode is exported as a table, column, or cell using Qlik NPrinting APIs, the request will fail.

Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-7165
Open Type Fonts (*.otf) are not supported in PixelPerfect templates. Generated reports will use a different font, and not look as expected.

Qlik Sense tables with conditionally shown columns have limited functionality

Jira issue ID: OP-7747
The following functionalities are not supported for Qlik Sense tables that have a "Show column if" condition set on one or more of their columns: levels, single column export, and keep source formats.

Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections on calculated dimensions fails

Jira issue ID: OP-8382
Qlik Sense On-Demand reports with selections applied on calculated dimensions will fail. However, you can apply selections on dimensions based on Qlik Sense fields. The workaround is to move the formula to the load script and use the calculated fields to apply selections to your On-Demand reports.

Qlik Sense histograms cannot be add into the Tables node

Jira issue ID: OP-8985
Due to the internal way of exporting Qlik Sense histograms, you cannot add them to the Qlik NPrinting Designer Tables node. If you add a Qlik Sense histogram to the Tables node, you will not receive any errors or warning messages, but the exported data will be wrong.

QlikEntities limitation with Qlik Sense entities

Jira issue ID: OP-8921
QlikEntity reports support Qlik Sense objects with the following limitations:

• Containers are not supported, but you can use all the objects that are inside containers.
• Qlik Sense sheets can be added to QlikEntity reports and exported as images. The "Extend Sheet" feature does not work.
• Export in PDF and TIFF is not supported.

Embedding Excel worksheets into PowerPoint templates is not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-9087
You cannot embed an Excel worksheet in a PowerPoint report template. This will cause a Qlik NPrinting Designer crash. The workarounds are to insert the Excel worksheet without using the Qlik NPrinting Designer:

• Create a .pptx file by using PowerPoint without involving the Qlik NPrinting Designer. Insert the Excel worksheet and save the .pptx. Then use the .pptx file as a report template.
• If you have already created the PowerPoint template, export it, open the .zip file generated by Qlik NPrinting and double-click the .pptx file inside. Insert the Excel worksheet, save the resulting PowerPoint and overwrite the exiting Qlik NPrinting template by uploading the updated .zip.

Qlik Sense dynamic views limitations

Jira issue ID: OP-9067
Dynamic views is a new Qlik Sense feature starting from June 2020.
If you connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app that contains a chart used to generate dynamic views, the chart and the containing sheet are excluded from the Qlik NPrinting connection cache and cannot be used in reports.
You can connect Qlik NPrinting to a Qlik Sense app containing dynamic views. However, after a dynamic view refresh, the connection will stop working.

Reports size limit

Jira issue ID: OP-9628
Starting from November 2020, RabbitMQ Server (deployed as Qlik NPrinting Messaging Service) has been updated to version 3.8.3. It has an internal limit, not configurable, about messages size of 512MB. Previous limit was 2GB. As consequence, is not possible to generate Qlik NPrinting reports bigger than 512MB.

Excel print area with more than one range

Jira issue ID: OP-9766
Excel worksheet print areas can contain more than one range if the generation of the report does not expand the print area. If it expands, you will see an error: “Invalid Cell Name”. For example, the default setting of the Expand Range option in a Qlik NPrinting table causes the print area to change during report production, and an error is received.

Searching in Cyrillic characters is case sensitive

Jira issue ID: OP-9518
Using Cyrillic characters in the Search form of the Qlik NPrinting user interface is case sensitive.

The percentage "%" format is not kept in Excel reports

Jira issue ID: OP-9995
The percentage “%” format is not kept in Excel reports when using QlikView 12.50 (12.50.20000) or newer due to a QlikView issue. You can solve this by upgrading to QlikView May 2021 SR2 (12.60.20200) or newer.

Run verification does not check if the installed version of QlikView Desktop supports QVF

Jira issue ID: OP-95599

If you start a Run Verification on a connection to a QlikView document in QVF format, Qlik NPrinting cannot confirm whether the QlikView Desktop version installed locally on each Qlik NPrinting Engine is compatible with QVF file format. The check mark next to "QlikView can open the document" may be green, even if a version of QlikView that does not support QVF is installed. This is because verification only checks file permissions. If the installed QlikView Desktop does not support QVF format, metadata generation will fail.

 QlikView objects with many fields with the same label are not supported

Jira issue ID: OP-95682

QlikView objects with many different fields with exactly the same label are not supported. Duplicated labels cause an exception during the connection cache generation. To solve this issue, ensure that each field has a unique label.

Images defined by URL in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text

Jira issue ID: OP-95797

Images linked by using URLs in Qlik Sense tables are exported as text. This affects only Qlik Sense connections. A workaround exists for PixelPerfect templates.

When upgrading connectors to the latest APIs, unfortunately the changes can be so extensive that we are unable to modify the existing connector. When this happens we will create a new version of the connector and put the existing one into a ‘Deprecated’ state. This means that at some point in the future it will no longer be available and after entering the deprecated status, it will no longer be updated. The date is normally determined by the underlying API which will often have its own expiry date, after which the connector using it will no longer work.

You can see connectors affected under the Deprecated tab in Qlik Web Connectors. One connector is noted as deprecated in this release:

• Qlik Twitter Connector

One connector is removed in this release, after being noted as deprecated since previous release:

• Qlik Repustate Connector

Resolved Defects

The following Release Notes cover resolved defects for Qlik Cloud. Solved issues and limitations for Qlik Cloud Services are also listed.

QB-24223	GeoAnalytics: Heatmap is not displaying all values	For some values, the default label font size of 13px would cause the value to be too large to fit in the chart. The value has now been set at 12px.
QB-23908	Qlik Engine: Apps reconnecting with error message	In rare cases, upgrading a build tool could cause the response to the client to be malformed and the connection would be closed. The app would then reconnect the error message "Could not decode a text frame as UTF-8" would be shown. This has now been fixed.
QB-23840	Qlik Cloud Visualizations: Source Table view shows data from different column	Fixed a problem where Source Table viewer was showing data from different columns in large tables with one or more hidden fields.
QB-23121	Qlik Application Automation: Unable to create a file on Amazon S3	A bug in the "Write Line to File" block caused the standard encoding to be UTF-8, even when otherwise specified. This has now been resolved, and other encoding options such as Shift JIS can now be specified as a block input.
QB-23254	Qlik Cloud: Export to Excel does not keep number format	Fixed a problem where the cell format was changed from general/number to custom format when exporting to Excel.
QB-22903	Visualizations: Master items are editable in containers	Fixed authorization for Master Items in Containers. Adding master items to a container no longer allows users without the correct permissions to edit them.
QB-23851	Visualizations: Straight Table percentage option for width cannot be selected	Fixed a problem where the percentage width setting was unavailable.
QB-20929	Direct Access gateway: Failure of reload script queries over 500,000 characters	When connecting to data sources via Direct Access gateway, reload scripts with queries exceeding 500,000 characters would fail. A limitation that reload scripts queries cannot exceed 500,000 characters was added to the help.
QB-23497	Master measure formatting was not applied in Insight Advisor charts	Resolved an issue where changes were not applied in Insight Advisor charts when master item settings were changed.
QB-24219	Visualizations: Added show condition for measures to new pivot table	Fixed an issue where the show condition for measures was missing in certain cases. All measures now have an input field in the property panel for the "Show column if" option.
QB-23576	Vizualisations: Enhanced tooltip positioning	Resolved an issue where tooltips extended beyond the frame when the chart size was set to "small."
QB-22648	Alerting: Analyzer users could not evaluate history-condition based data alerts	Resolved an issue that prevented users with analyzer entitlement from evaluating data alerts based on history conditions. Before this fix, data alerts with history conditions would fail to evaluate if owned by a user with analyzer entitlement.
QB-24209	Qlik Engine: Fixed Out of Memory problem in Lineage when saving apps	Engine will no longer face out-of-memory termination issues during saving.
