Changes to scheduled automations

Thu, 07 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

May 7, 2026

Changes to scheduled automations

In support of scheduler improvements for Qlik Automate, changes are coming to scheduled automations. This begins with improvements to how the next scheduled run is shown in the Automation history view, and changing the minimum scheduling period to one minute, as announced in January 2026. Customers with schedules with second grain intervals will see these rounded to the nearest minute with this change.

For more information, see Qlik Automate: 30-second interval deprecation on Qlik Community.

Configurable maximum run time for automations

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

May 5, 2026

Configurable maximum run time for automations

Qlik Automate now lets you configure the maximum run time for your automations, giving you more control over how long an automation is allowed to execute before it stops.

Previously, synchronous triggered automations had a fixed limit of 55 seconds, which could cause runs to fail when dependent services responded slowly.

You can now configure the limit for synchronous triggered automations from 55 seconds up to 5 minutes (default: 55 seconds). For all other automation types, you can set the limit up to 4 hours. Configure this in each automation’s settings.

Default values are unchanged: 55 seconds for synchronous triggered automations and 4 hours for all other automation types. Existing automations are not affected unless you update the setting.

For more information, see Navigating the user interface.

Bidirectional glossary term relationships

Tue, 05 May 2026 00:00:00 GMT

May 5, 2026

Bidirectional glossary term relationships

When you define a relationship between two glossary terms, the inverse relationship now automatically appears on the related term as well. For example, if you relate Active Customer to Customer using the Is a relationship type, Customer will now display Has subtype: Active Customer — without any additional steps.

Relationship applied	Relationship displayed on related term
See also	See also
Synonym	Synonym
Replaced by	Replaces
Is a	Has subtype
Defined by	Defines

Previously, term relationships were only visible on the term where they were applied. With this update, stewards get a complete and consistent view of how terms relate to one another across the glossary, reducing the need to manually maintain relationships on both sides.

Improved error messaging for time series experiments

Wed, 29 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

April 29, 2026

Improved error messaging for time series experiments

When a time series experiment fails, customers now get specific, actionable error messages instead of generic failures. Errors identify exactly which groups, columns, or time periods caused the issue and explain how to fix it. This directly reduces support escalations and lets users resolve data problems on their own — no ticket required.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.13)

Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

April 22, 2026

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.13)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.13 introduces both new and enhanced features, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

This version introduces new and enhanced functionality as well as several bug fixes.

Extended authentication support

The following connectors now support Single Sign-On (Kerberos) authentication:
- Apache Hive
- Cloudera Impala
- Teradata
- Microsoft SQL Server
In addition, the Teradata connector now supports LDAP authentication.
Improved handling of File connector reloads

The Analytics engine would sometimes cache connections from earlier sessions and send a request to a pod that had been requested to shut down. This would cause reloads to fail with the following error:

Connector error: data loading error (DirectAccess-4008)

From this version, reload requests to a pod that is no longer active will be rejected and routed to an available pod.
Improved reload measurement logging

Reload measurement logging has been improved. This will allow both customers and Qlik Support to gain further insights into reload performance. As part of the improvements, the logging level has been changed to INFO and the log message has been adapted for use with the Direct Access gateway monitoring tool. Additionally, the following information will now be shown in the log:
- Percentage of the reload time spent on Web Socket transfer.
- A rough estimation of the throughput between the data source and Direct Access gateway.
- A rough estimation of the throughput between the Direct Access gateway and Qlik Cloud.
Ability to set how many rows to fetch per bulk when using the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector

A new Number of rows to fetch per bulk option has been added to the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector. While the default value is optimal for most scenarios, if you encounter significant performance issues, adjusting this value might help.
Row count validation during reloads

The row count from all non-File Direct Access gateway connectors (the number of rows it reads) will now be validated to ensure that it matches the number of rows sent to the engine. If a mismatch is detected, the reload will fail with an appropriate error, thereby preventing inconsistent data loading.
Improved error handling of async commands

Identification and handling of response errors resulting from failed async commands has been improved. This enhancement will facilitate better troubleshooting of async command failure.

Configuring user session timeouts

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

April 21, 2026

Configuring user session timeouts

Tenant administrators can now manage signed-in user sessions with two new settings:

Session inactivity timeout – defines how long a user can be inactive before the session ends.
Maximum session lifetime – sets the maximum duration of a user session, regardless of activity.

These options give you more control over security and user experience—so yes, you can now take that extra-long coffee break.

This enhancement is based on feedback from our users through this Qlik Ideation post.

Trigger data quality refresh for a data product

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

April 14, 2026

Trigger data quality refresh for a data product

You can now trigger a full data quality refresh for all datasets within a data product in a single action.

What’s available

This release introduces on-demand data quality refresh at the data product level:

One-click quality compute: Users with the appropriate permissions can trigger a data quality compute across all underlying datasets of a data product directly from the data product view. This runs validation rules and semantic type checks across all datasets at once, without needing to act on each dataset individually.

Why this matters

Data quality results can become stale as source data evolves. This update gives data product owners and quality leads a fast, centralized way to ensure quality scores and validation results reflect the latest data.

Configurable preview size

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

April 1, 2026

Configurable preview size

The preview size can now be configured to 100 or 1,000 rows, giving you deeper visibility into data quality issues across a larger slice of your data, enhancing the data preview filtering experience in the meantime.

What's available

This release extends the dataset preview filtering capability with a new preview size option:

Configurable preview size: You can now choose between a 100-row and a 1,000-row preview. This allows for more representative validation checks across a broader portion of your data, including when filtering dataset preview results by quality status (valid, invalid, empty, etc.).

The existing filtering capabilities remain fully available, including filtering by specific validation rules or semantic type results, and viewing the indicators that identify which rule or semantic type triggered an invalid status.

Why this matters

Working with a larger preview reduces the risk of missing edge cases that only appear beyond the first 100 rows. Data engineers and quality leads can now catch a wider range of data quality issues in a single preview session, making validation rule tuning and remediation decisions faster and more reliable.

Filter valid, empty, and invalid records from dataset preview

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

March 24, 2026

Filter valid, empty, and invalid records from dataset preview

The data preview now supports filtering rows by quality status. This update helps users quickly isolate and understand records that fail validation rules or semantic type checks from the dataset preview, over a 100-rows sample.

With this enhanced preview, you can:

Filter preview data by status (valid, invalid, empty, etc.) to isolate data quality issues.
Refine filters by specific validation rules or semantic type results to pinpoint the exact cause of invalid data.
View corresponding indicators that show which rule or semantic type triggered an invalid status.
Maintain access to an unfiltered preview for overall dataset context.

This improvement enhances the data quality assessment workflow for data engineers, product managers, and quality leads. For example, a data product manager can now preview invalid addresses or missing customer IDs to decide if remediation is needed, while a data quality manager can validate the effectiveness of applied rules in real time.

Filtering is currently available over the 100-row dataset preview, with support for a 1,000-row preview coming soon to provide even deeper validation visibility.

Validation rules now visible from the dataset overview

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:00:00 GMT

March 19, 2026

Validation rules now visible from the dataset overview

Validation rule results are now surfaced directly on the dataset overview, giving data producers and consumers immediate visibility into data quality issues without leaving the dataset's front door.

What’s available

This release introduces two new additions to the dataset overview:

Validation rules summary section: A new section on the dataset overview displays at-a-glance metadata about the validation rules applied to the dataset, including how many rules are defined and their current pass/fail status. Users can immediately see whether all rules are returning valid values or whether failures require attention, without navigating away from the overview.
Validation rules tab: A dedicated tab now provides a detailed view of all validation rules applied to the dataset. For each rule, users can see the affected fields, rule logic, and current evaluation outcome, along with a clear path to drill down for deeper investigation and remediation.

Why this matters

By bringing validation rule status directly into the dataset overview, data producers and consumers can now understand quality issues in context, act earlier, and with greater confidence. This update improves explainability of the Qlik Trust Score™, shortens time-to-insight, and enables more targeted remediation, all from a single, unified entry point.

Block Request Timeout Increase for Qlik Automate from 55 Seconds to 5 Minutes

We have extended the maximum wait time for API requests within automation blocks from 55 seconds to 5 minutes.

Previously, any third-party system that took longer than 55 seconds to respond would cause the block to fail. This was a common issue for automations that integrate with AI models that may require more time to reason and return a result. This change significantly improves reliability for those use cases.

Spot potential bias during training with Qlik Predict

Qlik Predict now surfaces bias signals during model training so you can identify data and feature patterns that may lead to unfair or unreliable predictions, before you deploy your model.

Choose which features to evaluate, then review clear flags and metrics directly in the training summary. Insights include signals such as imbalanced groups and potential proxy features, helping you validate whether a feature may be acting as a stand-in for sensitive attributes.

Qlik Predict bias detection does not automatically modify your data, features, or model. It only reports detected signals, so you can decide what action—if any—to take before deployment.

February 17, 2026

Mirror data to Amazon Redshift from Qlik Open Lakehouse

Qlik Open Lakehouse projects now support mirroring data to Amazon Redshift, expanding the data mirror feature to enable multi-platform analytics from a single project. In addition to existing targets such as Snowflake, Redshift is now available as a mirror target, allowing one dataset to be queried from one or more cloud data warehouses.

With mirror tasks, Qlik enables multi-platform data pipelines without data duplication. You can query data stored in Iceberg tables in your lakehouse directly from Redshift, eliminating the need for additional storage while maintaining consistent, up-to-date data access.

This enhancement also supports a Medallion architecture approach:

Ingest raw data into an Iceberg-based Bronze layer in your lakehouse
Mirror the data to Redshift for downstream transformations in Silver and Gold layers
Perform transformations by creating a Redshift project with a transform task, using the Redshift mirror as the source

Redshift users can query lakehouse data as if it were native to the warehouse, while Qlik automatically handles data refresh, performance optimization, and storage management.

The result is greater flexibility, lower storage costs, and unified analytics across multiple cloud data platforms, now including Redshift.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.11)

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

February 10, 2026

The Direct Access gateway installer might take slightly longer to start when compared to previous versions. This is due to additional mandatory security checks introduced in this version, and is completely normal.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.11)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.11 introduces both new and enhanced features, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector enhancements

Newly exposed configuration settings

The following settings, which previously could only be figured by manually editing a configuration file have now been exposed in the Gateway settings for <gateway-name> dialog:

Support for delimiting table names

Some data sources require table names with upper case letters or special characters to be delimited in the load script. Otherwise, an error will occur. The new Delimit table names option eliminates the need to manually add delimiters to the load script when loading or previewing data.

For details, see Create an ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connection.

Exposing the parameter for getting detailed error messages when using ODBC sources

Due to security concerns, the default error message returned by the ODBC driver contains minimal information. However, in certain scenarios, you might need more information to troubleshoot a specific issue. Previously this required adding the ShowErrorDetailMessage property to the Advanced section in the connector dialog and setting it to True. Now, you can select the Show detailed error message check box in the Gateway settings dialog.

For details, see Show detailed error message.

Support for changing the process isolation settings without restarting the gateway service

In previous versions, any changes to process isolation settings such as increasing the number of processes during a reload required the gateway service to be restarted. Now, changes to these settings will be applied without needing to restart the gateway service.

Logging improvements

Reduced excessive logging when AGENT_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG and AGENT_LOG_OPTIONS are not set.
The connector-agent logs for file connector reloads now show the actual AppId instead of AppId=dummyDocId.

Enhanced async command support

Async command support increases efficiency by enabling Direct Access gateway to handle multiple commands (requests) simultaneously, as opposed to one at a time. In the past, when the destination command pod on Qlik Cloud was not available to handle a request, Direct Access gateway would continue sending the request to the same pod instead of failing. This would cause the command to fail after 10 attempts, with a generic error instead of pointing to the actual cause of the failure.

Qlik telemetry

A UserAgent header has been added to all connector-agent command responses (via HTTP POST). This will improve tagging of Direct access gateway usage in Qlik telemetry.

Header format:

qlik-direct-access-gateway/version

Example:

qlik-direct-access-gateway/1.7.10

Improved clarity and consistency in the embedded scheduler

We’ve introduced a set of small but meaningful UI improvements in the embedded scheduler, designed to make the experience simpler, clearer, and more intuitive for everyone.

These updates focus on aligning terminology, labels, and actions across the scheduler interface, helping users more easily understand what each option does and how to work with scheduled tasks. While the functional behavior remains the same, the refined wording and button naming reduce ambiguity and lower the learning curve—especially for new users.

The changes released today include:

Executed as renamed to Run as.
Tooltips added to status icons in the task name.
Icons added to indicate if the next scheduled task is a time-based or event-based task.
Tasks indicate when their scheduled end time is reached (not task completion).
New icons added to the context menu in the Scheduler task view and history view.
Run now is greyed out when inactive.
Updated terminology in scheduler from Content to Asset.

Beyond immediate usability benefits, these refinements also lay important groundwork for upcoming enhancements, including the future global task monitoring capability. By establishing clearer and more consistent concepts now, we’re ensuring that new capabilities can be introduced in a way that feels natural and familiar.

Overall, this update is about simplicity first: clearer language, more intuitive actions, and a smoother experience when working with scheduled tasks—today and as the platform continues to evolve.

Streamlining user types in Qlik Cloud capacity-based subscriptions

Tue, 03 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT

February 3, 2026

Streamlining user types in Qlik Cloud capacity-based subscriptions

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide the best possible experience for Qlik Cloud users, we are removing the Basic and Full User construct from tenants on capacity-based subscriptions, simplifying to just User.

Why are we doing this?

User capabilities on capacity-based tenants are governed by access control. Thus, a difference in user type designation is no longer required to determine what a user can do in the tenant.

What changes are being made?

Any user authenticating to a capacity-based tenant will be considered a Full User. The concept of a Basic User is removed from the product. Any and all users purchased under capacity entitlement will be available as Full Users. Full User consumption is deducted from the total number of user capacity purchased.

The auto-assignment toggles in Settings > Entitlements will be removed from the product. To grant these roles to everyone in the tenant, use the Auto assign option in Manage users > Permissions.

Toggles on the Entitlements tab.

How does this impact you?

Current access control configuration for existing users is unchanged. You may have to modify the User Default role, assign users to built-in roles, or create new custom roles to support access to tenant features and capabilities. Please see Roles and permissions for users and administrators for information on your tenant’s access control system.

Business logic improvements

Thu, 22 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT

January 22, 2026

Business logic improvements

We are introducing two improvements this week that enhance semantic configuration and usability.

Logical group assignment during master item creation

When a custom logical model with active business logic is in place, newly created master dimensions or measures must belong to a logical group to be available for natural language queries. Previously, this required a separate manual step after creation within the Business Logic configuration. With this enhancement, the logical group can be selected directly at the time of creating the master item. This ensures immediate availability of the item for natural language queries and removes the need for follow up configuration.

Reusing dimensions with master dimensions

Reusing measures with master measures

Bulk vocabulary management using Excel

Vocabulary synonyms were previously managed on an individual basis. The system now supports bulk management through Excel based imports. Users can import synonyms in bulk. Multiple synonyms or entire groups can be selected and edited or removed in a single action. This significantly reduces effort when managing large vocabularies.

Importing terms

New "Delimit column names" option for the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector

Some data sources require column names with upper case letters or special characters to be delimited in the load script. Otherwise, an error will occur. The new Delimit column names option eliminates the need to manually add delimiters to the load script when loading or previewing data.

For details, see Create an ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connection.

Support for setting a quota for the metrics data stored on the Direct Access gateway machine

A new localDataRetentionDatabaseSizeInMb property has been added to the metrics collector, which allows you to set a quota for the total size of metrics data stored on the gateway machine (in MB). Old data will be deleted to ensure that the quota is not exceeded.

The metrics collector can either be configured locally in a JSON file or via the Public API.

Expanded validation capabilities for rules

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT

December 18, 2025

Expanded validation capabilities for rules

Validation rules now support more expressive conditions, enabling stricter and more precise data checks.

What’s available

This release introduces two new capabilities to validation rules:

Matches pattern operator: You can now validate text fields using regular expressions through a new matches pattern operator. Currently available in pullup, with pushdown support coming soon. This operator relies on the CEL matches string method and follows the RE2 standard. A negation version of the operator is also available.
Closed lookup reference values: You can now define a fixed list of allowed reference values directly within a validation rule. These values are scoped to the rule itself and are not reusable across other rules. A negation version of the operator is also available.

Why this matters

These enhancements make validation rules more expressive and self-contained, allowing teams to enforce stricter constraints on text formats and accepted values while keeping rule definitions clear and easy to manage.

Reload task datasets via API

Fri, 28 Nov 2025 00:00:00 GMT

November 28, 2025

Reload task datasets via API

You can now request a reload of one or multiple datasets within a Data Integration task directly through the API.

Endpoint :POST /di-projects/{projectId}/di-tasks/{dataTaskId}/actions/request-reload

The Request reload API triggers a reload request for the selected datasets. The actual reload takes place the next time the task runs, consistent with the behavior in the user interface.

You can choose to reload all datasets in the task (default behavior), or reload specific datasets by providing their dataset IDs.

An additional input parameter lets you specify a reload strategy when working with transform tasks:

NONE
TRUNCATE (Clears the output table before reloading)
COMPARE AND APPLY (Compares source and target to apply only incremental differences)

This enhancement provides greater control and automation for dataset maintenance within your data integration workflows.

Enhanced Webhook Security

We have improved the security of Qlik Cloud webhooks to better protect your sensitive data. How it works:

Encrypted Header Values: Header values configured for webhooks can be encrypted when configuring webhooks. This ensures credentials like bearer tokens or API keys are securely stored and handled. Webhook secrets are write-once.Once saved, secrets can not be viewed or retrieved to reduce the risk of accidental exposure.

Existing webhooks will continue to function as-is. However, we recommend customers currently storing secrets in headers to consider reconfiguring their existing webhooks with the encryption option.

Evaluate large app performance in Qlik Cloud

You've been using the App Performance Evaluation tool to measure and compare how your apps perform—but now it works with Large Apps too!

As your apps grow, so does the importance of knowing what's happening inside them. With this new capability, developers can pinpoint performance bottlenecks in charts, sheets, and KPIs—even in the biggest apps—so they can deliver the fastest, smoothest experience possible.

Evaluations on Large Apps consume Large App reload capacity—ensuring there's no impact on users actively working with those apps. You can run evaluations directly from the activity center, through Qlik Automate, or via the Qlik Cloud APIs.

Sneak peek: Soon you'll also be able to choose the compute environment for an app. This choice is persisted—meaning the selected engine will be used for both performance evaluations and your users' everyday experience. You'll be able to test, compare, and fine-tune on different engine sizes, then let your consumers enjoy the improved performance too.

Qlik Analytics Migration Tool – v2.0.0 Release

Tue, 16 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT

September 16, 2025

Qlik Analytics Migration Tool – v2.0.0 Release

The September release introduces new capabilities that make migration planning and execution more flexible, efficient, and aligned with dependencies.

Features

Migration Plan: Excel export and import for bulk edits to plans

Export site metadata as empty templates, prefilled from source connections, or based on the current plan. Excel workflows enable iterative bulk editing, external data generation, and advanced transformations not available through the interface. Imports are validated with annotated files for guided corrections, and Excel data can be merged with site metadata and further updated in the tool for maximum flexibility.
Migration Plan: Data Gateway support

Data connections that support a Data Gateway can now be bound to one directly in the plan or through Excel, providing greater control over how source data is accessed in Qlik Cloud.
Projects and jobs: Standard job lists by scope

Selecting Create standard jobs now prompts for the project scope, such as Qlik Sense Enterprise Client-Managed, QlikView, or Qlik NPrinting. Standard jobs are then generated automatically for the chosen scope, reducing setup effort.
Jobs: Job promotion and demotion

Jobs can be promoted or demoted in the list to reorder execution. This is especially useful since new jobs are added at the bottom by default. Reordering helps align jobs in a logical top-to-bottom sequence that reflects dependencies.
Migration Plan: Folder data connection modal update

The folder connection interface has been improved with a clearer design and a rename option. Application scripts now support searching for renamed files to update references.

SAP ODP filtering on data source

Tue, 09 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT

September 9, 2025

SAP ODP filtering on data source

The SAP ODP connector for Qlik Talend Data Integration now supports filtering directly on the data source. Previously, filtering was performed during data loading (on the Data Movement gateway). Now, users can select whether to filter on the data source or during data loading. Filtering directly on the data source prevents high volumes of data being transferred unnecessarily to the Data Movement gateway machine. This both improves performance and alleviates cost uncertainty, which makes it easier to meet project deadlines. Filtering during data loading is still supported which allows for more complex filtering expressions that can be evaluated during runtime.

Alleviating latency caused by DNS resolution

From this version, service-to-service communication will now be performed using the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1) instead of localhost. This should effectively eliminate any latency resulting from DNS resolution.

Configuring connector startup parameters

You can now increase the timeout value and number of attempts for connector startup. This might be useful when performing a considerable number of concurrent reloads. Increasing these parameters will give Direct Access gateway more time and additional attempts to run a connector before exiting with failure and requiring a restart.

Configuring connector startup

Requesting load slots asynchronously

This version introduces the option to request load slots asynchronously. Requesting load slots asynchronously alleviates temporary command pipe congestion to Direct Access gateway during creation of the reload data WebSocket to Qlik Cloud. This might be useful when performing a considerable number of concurrent reloads.

Requesting load slots asynchronously

New location for the installation logs

The installation log files will now be located in <Direct Access gateway installation folder>\data\logs, which is consistent with the location of other Direct Access gateway log files.

In previous versions, the installation log files were located in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp. Any logs that are still in this folder will be copied to the new location during upgrade.

September 4, 2025

API for monitoring enhancements

We are happy to announce improvements to our Qlik Talend Cloud Pipelines monitoring API endpoints.

[UPDATED] GET/v1/di-projects/{projectId}/di-tasks/{dataTaskId}/runtime/state

With this new API release, we're bringing enhancements to the existing 'Get project task runtime state' API.

It is now enriched with many new fields that will be helpful for your task monitoring in real-time, such as the run state, start/end time and duration, but also the task dataset count (incl. datasets in error), the gatewayID, name and getawayTaskName, or the latency for continuous tasks among other fields.

[NEW] GET/v1/di-projects/{projectId}/di-tasks/{dataTaskId}/runtime/state/datasets

In addition to improving the runtime state API, we're launching a new "list runtime dataset states", which will give you dataset-level details related to your tasks (eg. dataset name and ID, dataset state, processing start and end time and even the processed record count when applicable).

These APIs are available in production today.

The 'Get project task runtime state' API enhancements are already available in Qlik Automate. The new 'dataset state' API will be added in Qlik Automate soon.

Table Recipe: Interactive playground for single-table data preparation

Qlik Cloud Analytics introduces Table Recipe, a lightweight, spreadsheet-like experience for preparing single-table datasets. This interactive playground is designed to make quick, no-code data manipulations accessible to everyone, while providing instant visual feedback. Every table recipe is a sequence of steps, giving you a structured and repeatable way to apply operations on your data.

Key highlights:

Familiar spreadsheet-like interface for simple, single-table data preparation.
60+ no-code functions for cleansing, standardizing, converting, splitting, masking, and formatting data.
Built-in column profiling and filtering to quickly inspect, explore and refine your data.
Flexible usage options:
- Standalone table recipe: Create a recipe as a catalog asset, apply steps from one source to one target, and run or schedule your output. Ideal for simple, single-source to single-target use cases.
- Embedded in a data flow: Use a table recipe as a processor within a larger data flow for intermediate or mixed use cases, combining multiple sources, targets, or more complex processors within the same flow.
Platform integration: Like apps, scripts, and data flows, standalone table recipes can be run and scheduled. They are fully integrated into Analytics activity centers, leveraging spaces, lineage, and impact analysis for governance.

With Table Recipe, Qlik Cloud now combines spreadsheet-like simplicity with platform-level governance, extending the reach of self-service data preparation for analytics and AI.

Controlling when the table error handling policy is triggered

Tue, 12 Aug 2025 00:00:00 GMT

August 12, 2025

Controlling when the table error handling policy is triggered

A new Number of retries before returning a table error setting has been added to the table error handling settings for replication and landing tasks. Previously, when a table error occurred, the table would be suspended or the task would be stopped (according to the selected error handling action). This sometimes resulted in tables being suspended during the SaaS application maintenance window. With this new option, it is now possible to determine how many times the table should be retried before the table error handling policy is triggered. This option is especially useful if your SaaS application undergoes periodic maintenance, as you can override the default number of retries (3) so that the maintenance can be completed without triggering the table error handling policy.

This option is only available for tasks configured to use a Lite or Standard SaaS application connector.
If you are using Data Movement gateway to access your data source, this option requires version 2024.11.70 or later.

In certain scenarios, a scheduled CDC task might miss one or more schedules. Reasons for this include:

Due to a large number of changes on the source, the previous task did not finish before the next scheduled run
Network issues preventing connection to the data source or target
Data Movement gateway for accessing the target (when it is in a VPC) is not available

To alert you to missed schedules, the data task monitor will now show the following information for scheduled CDC tasks:

Scheduling: The scheduling interval.
Time since missed schedule: The time that has elapsed since the last scheduled run. This information will only be shown if the previous run is still running or has completed, and one or more schedules were missed. If a run did not start on schedule, a warning will also be shown together with the number of missed schedules.

File (via Direct Access gateway) connector: Restricting file system access to specific spaces

When using the File (via Direct Access gateway) connector, you can now restrict file system or network drive access to specific spaces. Pairing each path with spaces within your Qlik Cloud tenant means that only space members with the Can consume data role or higher will be able to access the specified path. When no space is configured, the specified paths will be accessible to all spaces.

The new configuration can be made via the public API, or directly in the configuration file on the gateway server.

Data products retain model when opened in Qlik Cloud Analytics

When users create a Qlik Cloud Analytics app from a data product, the data model from the Qlik Talend Cloud task are transmitted to the Qlik Cloud Analytics app itself, so that users do not have to recreate the data model in Analytics. This model can be viewed from Data model viewer in Qlik Cloud Analytics.

A few limitations:

The data model is not defined based on the column names. Only the data model defined in the Qlik Talend Cloud project is reflected. However, with this release we have resolved an issue that renamed duplicated column names in separate tables. This no longer occurs such that model recommendations from Qlik Cloud Analytics can more easily be applied.
You cannot view the data model in the data product. You can view the data model in either the Qlik Talend Cloud project or in the Qlik Cloud Analytics app.
You cannot export the data model of a data product.

Introducing Knowledge Marts

Qlik Talend Cloud is introducing knowledge mart tasks to automate the transformation, vectorization and loading of data into a vector store to support custom semantic search and retrieval-augmented-generative (RAG) AI applications.

Two new tasks have been introduced with this release:

Knowledge Mart task: Enables users to generate documents from structured data and publish to a vector database. The document design process leverages a data model, similar to data mart tasks, to automate the enrichment and transformation of data into domain-oriented documents. The task processes data and automates the vectorization and incremental updates to the defined vector store. Knowledge mart tasks are supported in Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition running on Snowflake.
File-based Knowledge Mart: Enables users to upload unstructured documents to a knowledge mart. The task can source data from file shares, FTP, OneDrive or Sharepoint and automates the chunking, embedding and loading of the data to aa vector store index. File-based Knowledge mart tasks are supported in Qlik Talend Cloud Enterprise Edition.

The Test Assistant supports testing vector store content via natural language semantic search for both styles of Knowledge Marts.

Knowledge Mart and File-based Knowledge Mart tasks support:

Delivery to vector stores:
- Snowflake Cortex
- ElasticSearch
- OpenSearch
- PineCone Vector Search
Embedding via customer-provided LLMs:
- Snowflake Cortex. You must use it when Snowflake is your vector store.
- Amazon Bedrock
- Azure OpenAI
- OpenAI

Reload-time variable updates and variable constraints

Tue, 24 Jun 2025 00:00:00 GMT

June 24, 2025

Reload-time variable updates and variable constraints

To support dynamic reload workloads, reload-time variable updates and variable constraints have been added for Analytics apps.

Using the new variables property on the Reloads API, you can set variables directly in a reload request, enabling dynamic app behavior without editing the load script. This reduces complexity, improves deployment automation, and brings parity with QlikView-style task-driven customization.

To prevent accidental or unauthorized overrides, you can now constrain variables in the load script. This ensures that certain variables must meet specified criteria even when passed dynamically. This protects your app from malicious or malformed variable input that might break app logic or SQL queries, and unintended overrides in templated apps.

Reload-time variable updates can be used alone to streamline deployments. Constraints can be used independently to validate variable values.

Together, they form a secure and flexible configuration model for large-scale, multi-tenant, or dynamic deployments.

For more information about reload-time variable updates, see the changelog entry on the Qlik Cloud Developer Portal.

To learn about setting constraints, see the Constrain reference on help.qlik.com and the GenericVariableConstraints schema.

Snowpipe Streaming support

Previously, Bulk loading was the only method available for loading data into Snowflake. Now, customers can use either Bulk loading or Snowpipe Streaming to onboard or replicate their data to Snowflake.

The benefits of Snowpipe Streaming over Bulk loading include:

Less costly: As Snowpipe Streaming does not use the Snowflake warehouse, operating costs should be significantly cheaper, although this will depend on your specific use case.
Reduced latency: As the data is streamed directly to the target tables (as opposed to via staging), replication from the data source to the target should be faster.

If you are using Data Movement gateway, version 2024.11.45 or later is required.

Enforcement of third-party overages for Qlik Automate

The new pricing and packaging for Qlik Automate is now enforced. This means Standard Runs are no longer charged for and the focus shifts to third-party automation runs only. Once you have exhausted your monthly third-party runs, an overage will be enforced. For user-based licenses this means that it will no longer be possible to run automations with active third-party blocks once the limit is exceeded.

New Data integration project APIs

Deploy projects programmatically using export/import and prepare APIS

With the latest Qlik Talend Cloud Pipelines API releases, users are given the opportunity to deploy their projects across spaces and tenants, programmatically.

Released at the end of last year, our new export/import APIs for Qlik Talend Cloud Pipelines offer a programmatic way to export and import projects across tenants and spaces for deployment purposes. They allow programmers to export projects as a .zip file. They also include creating projects and reading or updating the project variables (referred to as bindings) before importing project contents.

5 new endpoints are available:

Export the project contents as a .zip file:

POST /v1/di-projects/{projectId}/actions/export
Retrieve the bindings for a specified project:

GET/v1/di-projects/{projectId}/bindings
Create a project:

POST /v1/di-projects
Update bindings for a specified project:

PUT /v1/di-projects/{projectId}/bindings
Import project contents from a .zip file:

POST /v1/di-projects/{projectId}/actions/import

Along with the export and import APIs, users now get the possibility to validate and prepare their projects before running them on their production environment. This is an essential complement to enabling end-to-end programmatic deployment of their projects.

Users can programmatically:

Validate and prepare tasks at the project level, using the internal project orchestration logic:
- Validate all tasks in a project:
  
  POST/api/v1/di-projects/{ProjectID}/actions/validate
- Prepare all tasks in a project:
  
  POST/api/v1/di-projects/{ProjectID}/actions/prepare
Validate and prepare tasks at the task level:
- Validate a task:
  
  POST/api/v1/di-projects/{ProjectID}/di-tasks/{dataTaskID}/actions/validate
- Prepare a task:
  
  POST /api/v1/di-projects/{ProjectID}/di-tasks/{dataTaskID}/actions/prepare
Monitor the success of validate and prepare operations before running tasks:
- Get action status:
  
  GET/api/v1/di-projects/actions/{ActionID}

Once deployed and prepared, tasks can then be started/restarted, and monitored using the Data integration projects APIs.

For more information, see the reference documentation for the Data integration projects API.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.2)

Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:00:00 GMT

March 4, 2025

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.2)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.2 introduces the ability to set a chunk recovery resume threshold, and resolves several issues. To benefit from the enhancements and resolved issues, customers are encouraged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

Setting a chunk recovery resume threshold

You can now set a threshold (in minutes) for the chunks recovery duration. If the reload has not resumed by the time the recovery duration threshold has been reached, it will fail with an appropriate message.

This option is useful for reloads that might otherwise exceed the three hour limit, following a long recovery. For example, let's say it takes 90 minutes to retrieve the data from the database, but as soon as the reload starts, one of the chunks is corrupted. In this case, all of the chunks will be stored in the cache, and sent from the cache. In such a scenario, the entire reload process (storing in cache + actual reload) could take three hours to complete.

Qlik Talend Cloud Data Integration improvements

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT

February 25, 2025

Qlik Talend Cloud Data Integration improvements

The following improvements require Qlik Data Gateway - Data Movement 2024.11.14 or later. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Data Movement gateway installation.

PostgreSQL failover certification

Working with a secondary database after failover has been certified with the following data sources (which can all be accessed using the PostgreSQL source connector):

Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL
Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL (on-premises)

MySQL performance improvement

In previous versions, when using a MySQL-based source endpoint in a task that was configured with limited LOB size, Data Movement gateway would use source lookup to read the LOB columns. Now, Data Movement gateway will read the LOB columns directly from binlog, thereby improving performance.

This improvement does not apply to the JSON data type.

Data type mapping changes

Mappings to LOB columns have been changed for Amazon Redshift and Snowflake target.

Amazon Redshift target

BLOB is now mapped to VARBYTE(16777216)
NCLOB is now mapped to NVARCHAR(65535)
CLOB is now mapped to NVARCHAR(65535)

Snowflake target

BLOB is now mapped to BINARY (8388608)
NCLOB is now mapped to NVARCHAR(16777216)
CLOB is now mapped to VARCHAR(16777216)

Newly supported data types

IBM DB2 for LUW source

Now supports the BOOLEAN data type (from DB2 for LUW 11.5).
Google BigQuery target

Now supports the BIGNUMERIC data type.

Expanded target support for the DDL History control table

In previous Data Movement gateway versions, the DDL History control table was supported with Databricks and Microsoft Fabric targets only. This version introduces support for the following additional targets connectors:

Amazon Redshift
Amazon S3
Google Cloud Storage
Snowflake

Support for using a non-superuser with Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

From this version, it is now possible to specify a non-superuser account when replicating from Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL

Newly certified platforms and driver versions

Data Lakehouse capabilities for Snowflake projects

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT

February 11, 2025

Data Lakehouse capabilities for Snowflake projects

Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines introduces two new features to build open lakehouses with Snowflake. These features can be used independently or in combination.

Lake-landing ingestion for Snowflake pipelines

The lake-landing task allows to replicate data to your cloud storage of choice in low latency. The downstream Snowflake storage layer can be scheduled to consume the ingested data at a slower pace. This capability reduces warehouse compute uptime requirements.

Support for Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables

Storage, Transform and Data mart tasks can be configured to store data on an external cloud storage (Amazon S3, Azure Data Lake Storage, or Google Cloud Storage) as Snowflake-managed Iceberg tables. Iceberg tables are managed by Snowflake and can be synchronized with Snowflake Open Catalog (previously called Snowflake Polaris) for full interoperability with any Iceberg-compatible engine.

Landing data to a lakehouse

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.1)

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 00:00:00 GMT

February 11, 2025

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.1)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.1 introduces new capabilities and resolves several issues. To benefit from the enhancements and resolved issues, customers are encouraged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

REST Connector

The new REST (via Direct Access gateway) connector provides secure access to private REST API endpoints via Direct Access gateway, allowing you to stream data directly into your Qlik Sense application.

For more information, see REST data sources.
The REST (via Direct Access gateway) connector will be rolled out to Qlik Cloud regions in four phases, with phase 4 scheduled to be completed by February 17th.
- Phase 1: JP (Japan), and UK (United Kingdom)
- Phase 2: DE (Germany), SG (Singapore), AP (Asia Pacific), and IN (India)
- Phase 3: US (United States) and Qlik Cloud Government
- Phase 4: EU (European Union)
Overriding the default chunks cache directory

For each reload operation, Direct Access gateway can cache data chunks in memory and offload them to disk (when the size allocated for caching is exceeded). You can override the default chunks cache directory (C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Gateway\tmp) directory if you do not have enough disk space on the system drive.

For more information, see Overriding the default chunks cache directory.
Overriding the default number of tables retrieved when working with the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) Connector

By default, 10,000 tables are retrieved for selection, which might not be enough when working with very large databases. This version introduce the ability to override the default by increasing the ODBC_TABLES_LIMIT_FOR_GENERICODBC property in the Direct Access gateway configuration.properties file.

For more information, see Maximum number of tables to unload.
Multiple catalog support with the Google BigQuery (via Direct Access gateway) Connector

The Google BigQuery (via Direct Access gateway) Connector now supports accessing multiple catalogs (the equivalent of Google BigQuery projects) in a single connection.

For more information, see Create a Google BigQuery Connection.
Support for Unity Catalog with the Databricks (via Direct Access gateway) Connector

The Databricks (via Direct Access gateway) Connector now supports accessing data in Unity Catalog on Databricks.

For more information, see Create a Databricks connection.
Mitigating data errors caused by the ODBC driver when using the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector

Sometimes, due to an issue with the vendor ODBC driver's handling of source data types, either an error will occur during the reload or incorrect data will be loaded to Qlik Cloud. In such cases, you can override the Qlik Cloud data type or its specification (scale or precision, for example).

For more information, see Overriding default the Qlik Cloud data type when working with the ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector.

Relocation of connector start, exit, and restart events log events

From Direct Access gateway 1.7.1, connector start, exit, and restart events will be written to the Direct Access gateway (DirectAccessAgent) log file. In previous versions, they were written to the Connector agent logs (connector-agent_logs_<date>) log file.

Parallel Load improvements

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 00:00:00 GMT

December 19, 2024

Parallel Load improvements

Data movement in Qlik Talend Cloud has supported loading multiple tables in parallel for Replication, Landing and Lake Landing tasks. From this release, parallel load definitions are now also supported for individual tables during the full load of data into a target data platform. This helps to significantly improve task performance with the ability to split a source table into ‘segments’ which are then loaded in parallel.

These 'segments' are configurable by data ranges for one or more columns* (for example date ranges, PK segmentation etc.). If the source table is partitioned, in a source which supports the parallel load feature, then the segments can be automatically interpreted by source table partitions, or by sub-partitions. Parallel Load is supported for Replication, Landing and Lake Landing tasks.

The maximum number of segments and other tables to load in parallel is controlled by the Maximum number of tables to load in parallel setting.

To learn more about this feature in the context of landing tasks, see Loading dataset segments in parallel.

Once changes are made on their branches, users can synchronize changes with a remote repository, and commit and push their changes. They can also create pull requests from GitHub, where team members can review and approve the code before it is merged back into the main project.

Version control allows team members to sync their changes and collaborate efficiently while avoiding conflicts and ensuring pipeline integrity.

Version control is available from Qlik Talend Cloud Standard edition and upwards.

New script function integrates user attributes

Qlik Sense adds a GetUserAttr function that is similar to the GetSysAttr function and allows developers and self-service users to leverage metadata from outside the app to drive in-app experiences. GetUserAttr provides information about the user accessing the app, which can then be used to create more advanced customization by applying per-user or per-group controls in the app.

Developers can leverage the users’ groups, email, or subject information to do actions such as:

Apply specific locale or language settings based on email domain or groups. For example, apply French language translations for dimensions, measures, and titles to those users whose email domain is x@mydomain.fr or who are members of the group Qlik-French.
Customize layouts to fit different user personas by applying show/hide settings on objects, dimensions or measures in objects, or sheets (note that this function does not restrict access to data, therefore, it is recommended that you still leverage section access for data reduction).

Data products catalog now generally available

With Qlik Talend Cloud, users can unlock data value through data products, a unique product-centric approach to streamlining end-to-end data management.

Product-centric approach in data management

Data products are valuable because data product teams can quickly produce high-quality, curated, domain-centric data assets, that can be easily accessed by data consumers and leveraged in several business use cases across the organization. This closes the gap between what data producers are putting together and what data consumers need. Just like real products, data products are built iteratively and have a lifecycle - from creating a data product to managing the quality of the data product, activating it into the data marketplace, and deactivating it when they are no longer needed.

Key Features

Qlik Talend Cloud brings together an integrated data management experience – from data integration to transformation, data quality, and governance. The data product catalog in Qlik Talend Cloud offers several key capabilities to manage the data product lifecycle end-to-end.

A data marketplace, where data products are readily available for data consumers to shop and leverage according to their use cases. Within the data marketplace, data consumers can get a sample preview of the data products, including quality information, descriptions, and relevant tags.
Data product quality and profiling where data product teams can get a quick data sample, profile the data based on the different data types, and ensure the integrity of the data within the data product. In the case of Snowflake tables, data quality assessments are pushed down into Snowflake to optimize compute operations.
Data product lineage and impact analysis allow users to trace the origins and transformations of data products. Understanding where the data came from and how it changed along the data pipeline enhances data trust and brings more transparency for data consumers.
Integrated data catalog experience means that data products can be composed of datasets that are registered in the Qlik Talend Cloud catalog, streamlining the workflow for data product teams without requiring any additional tools.
Data product access control through managed spaces simplifies access control for data products, emphasizing easy data sharing with data consumers within the Qlik Talend Cloud environment.
Data product lifecycle management enables data product teams to treat data products just like real products, composing them from relevant datasets, evaluating data quality, assigning ownership, managing data product attributes (such as description, tags, and more), and launching them for consumption. If a data product no longer meets business needs, it can be deactivated.
Data product consumption using Qlik Sense apps allows data consumers to easily load data products into Qlik Sense applications, enabling a seamless transition from data discovery to actionable insights with just a few clicks.

Table recreation enhancements

Tue, 03 Sep 2024 00:00:00 GMT

September 3, 2024

Table recreation enhancements

In some cases, a change in the source data might require the target tables to be recreated (for example, if you need to change the target schema). Qlik Talend Cloud pipelines provide the ability to recreate the target datasets through the Recreate tables option. Previously, executing a recreate would also require tables in downstream data tasks to be recreated. This behavior has changed to allow recreation of tables in a data pipeline without needing to recreate tables in the downstream task. When recreating a table, the downstream task will react as if a truncate and reload action occurred on the source datasets.

Troubleshooting a storage data task

Target-based dataset model for transform and data mart tasks

To make pipeline design more flexible, we are introducing a new dataset model for transform and data mart tasks: the target-based model.

With this new model, dataset metadata is now decoupled from source metadata changes. Transform and data mart tasks are more self-contained, letting you control the effect of source metadata changes.

Target datasets are now explicitly mapped from the source datasets. If a column is added from the source, or removed, it is not automatically propagated to the next downstream task anymore. Instead, you will be able to adjust the mappings according to your needs. You can also change the column order and replace the data source as needed.

Existing projects will be updated to the new dataset model when applicable. You will be guided through the update process when first opening a project.

Ingestion-type tasks, such as landing and storage, remain on the source-based dataset model.

Data models

Re-designed view for transform tasks

A new view is now available for transform tasks, providing visible lineage.

This view lets you see the full dataset lineage, including transformation flows with multiple output datasets. Filters and display options are also available to adjust the view to your needs.

Tabular reporting template management - Changing source app at time of template upload

An optimization has been introduced to allow a template to be connected to the source app at time of upload. Previously, it had to be done by creating the connection in the Qlik add-in for Microsoft Excel. For example, if a report developer knows that a template is compatible with an app, and a copy of that app is available in another space or tenant, the report developer can upload the template used in the source app directly to the alternate version of the app and the connection will be created during the upload.

Working with report templates in the Qlik Sense app

Not supported in Qlik Cloud Government.

Enhanced support for metadata changes in replication and lake landing tasks

Previously, when a metadata change occurred, all tables would be dropped and recreated even if the metadata change did not affect all tables. Now, only the changed tables will be dropped and recreated, thereby improving performance.

Shared data space

With the launch of Qlik Talend Cloud we introduced the Starter edition to simplify the experience of creating connections and projects for straightforward replication tasks. As part of this improved experience a data space, called Default_Data_Space, is automatically created in every tenant.

This feature is extended to all editions of Qlik Talend Cloud: Starter, Standard, Premium and Enterprise.

The owner of Default_Data_Space will be the first admin to enter the tenant, and all users of the tenant will be automatically granted with the following permissions:

Can view
Can consume data
Can edit
Can manage
Can operate

Qlik Talend Data Integration improvements

The following improvements require Qlik Data Gateway - Data Movement 2024.5.7 or later. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Data Movement gateway installation.

Enhancements

Support for automatic loading of new tables in replication tasks

Tables created in the source database during the replication data task that match the include pattern, will now be automatically captured during CDC (Change data capture).
Microsoft SQL Server (MS-CDC) source enhancements
- Timestamp and transaction ID preservation
  
  Previously, when reading multiple transactions from Microsoft SQL Server (MS-CDC), Qlik Talend Data Integration would preserve the transaction ID and timestamp of the first transaction only. On the target, this gave the appearance of the records being part of a single transaction. Now, Qlik Talend Data Integration will preserve the original transaction ID and timestamp for each individual record. This benefits customers who wish to leverage the Transaction ID and Timestamp header columns in Change tables.
- Transaction ID bytes order
  
  Previously, the bytes in the transaction ID were encoded in reverse order. From this version, the bytes will be encoded in the correct order. Information Customers who would rather preserve the existing behavior can do so using internal parameters. For details, please contact Qlik Support.
Support for caching SHA-2 pluggable authentication with MySQL

Qlik Talend Data Integration now supports caching SHA-2 pluggable authentication (caching_sha2_password) when working with MySQL sources or targets, either on-premises or in the cloud. In previous versions, only Native Pluggable Authentication (mysql_native_password) was supported.
Amazon Redshift data type mapping changes

BYTES and BLOB data types will now be mapped to VARBYTE on Amazon Redshift instead of VARCHAR.

Newly certified platforms, endpoints and versions

Refreshing metadata

Refreshing metadata provides the ability to manually trigger a refresh the metadata of a dataset when the dataset is based on a source object. This will detect new and removed columns, changes to existing columns such as data type changes, and renamed columns.

For example, in a Landing task you can refresh the metadata for TABLEA from its data source to add, alter, or understand which columns that have been removed.

You can trigger a metadata refresh for individual datasets or complete tasks in:

Replication tasks (Replication project)

Refreshing metadata
Lake landing tasks (Replication project)

Refreshing metadata
Landing tasks (Pipeline project)

Refreshing metadata
Registered data tasks (Pipeline project)

Refreshing metadata

In pipeline projects with transformations, columns will not be automatically deleted. This is to ensure that downstream transformations will continue to work if columns are removed in the source.

Removal notice of event from audit service in Qlik Cloud

Qlik is removing the `com.qlik.user-identity.impersonation` from the audits service in Qlik Cloud. Events of this type will no longer appear in the Events panel in your tenant's management console and responses from the audits API will no longer include this event.

This change is a result of analysis to improve the performance of the audits service. Analysis showed this event is not widely consumed by customers, therefore, the decision has been taken to remove it. In addition, this change will make it possible to surface more usage events to customers through this service.

Note: The `com.qlik.user-identity.impersonation` is not deprecated, it is simply being removed from a service that aggregates and surfaces events for external consumption.

This change will take effect on July 13, 2024, sixty days from May 14, 2024.

Cyclic dimensions

Tue, 07 May 2024 00:00:00 GMT

May 7, 2024

Cyclic dimensions

Cyclic master dimensions introduce a novel dimension type, empowering users to select dimensions from a group and seamlessly switch them across the entire application. Unlike drill-down groups, cyclic dimensions lack a hierarchical structure, yet they resemble alternative dimensions, extending their influence app-wide.

By employing cyclic dimensions, valuable app and screen space is conserved, allowing a series of charts to offer multifaceted analyses. For instance, transitioning from temporal to geographical or product category-based measures is effortless. Toggling the dimension is facilitated either through a button action or axis label.

Additionally, with cyclic dimensions, naming the levels within cyclic and drill-down groups becomes possible. Engine functions exist to query the group's state, aiding in the creation of dimension-dependent measures or indicating the state through labels.

SAP ODP connector

Qlik Talend Data Integration provides multiple methods of capturing data from your SAP system. This release enhances existing capture methods with support for SAP ODP. The ODP connector provides connectivity to the SAP ODP framework, enabling data capture from multiple types of data artifacts such as Extractors, CDS views, BW objects, and SAP HANA Information views.

SAP ODP connector

Extended DDL capture support to PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server

Replication tasks provide support for handling DDL changes (schema evolution). When using PostgreSQL or Microsoft SQL Server (using MS-CDC) as your data source, the task will create DDL artifacts in the source databases to enable DDL changes to be captured. You can also define a specific schema to hold those objects, which allows users to isolate Qlik Cloud created objects from source data objects.

Microsoft SQL Server (Microsoft CDC based) connector

PostgreSQL connector

Support for SAP HANA as a backend database for the SAP Application connector

Qlik Talend Data Integration now includes support for SAP HANA as a backend database for the SAP Application connector. SAP HANA continues to be supported for direct access using the SAP HANA connector. This release adds the SAP Application connector functionality where you are running SAP on HANA and provides business group management capabilities. Business groups allow SAP users to create groups of tables that are recognized by Data Movement gateway, providing additional context when selecting data artifacts to be replicated..

Enhancements to Qlik’s Customer Managed Keys (CMK)

Customer Managed Keys (CMK), now supports and uses AWS Multi-Region Keys:

AWS Multi-region keys allow you to continue to access and process encrypted data when a primary region is experiencing an outage. By creating a replica of the key, you can decrypt data in the backup region, and any data encrypted in the backup can later be decrypted in the primary region once it is restored.

Transitioning from Single Region Keys to Multi-Region Keys:

Qlik recommends migrating from Single Region Keys to Multi-Region Keys in order to seamlessly maintain tenant access in case of a disaster outage event in your primary region.
All new CMK Keys will use Multi-Region Keys starting immediately.
If you use a new key during key rotation, you will be forced to use a Multi-Region Key setup.

New filters for monitor views: "Source type" and "Data gateway"

"Source type" filter

Using the Source type filter, it is now possible to create monitor views filtered on tasks with specific source technologies (e.g. SAP and SQL Server landing or replication tasks).

"Data gateway" filter

Using the Data gateway filter, it is now possible to create a monitor view to see all tasks that rely on the selected Data Movement gateway. This helps to simplify operations of tasks on a specific gateway such as upgrading. From the monitor view it is possible to stop all tasks on the gateway prior to upgrading, after the upgrade is complete you can then review the tasks to ensure they are all operational.

Monitoring and operating your data tasks

Additional settings and updates to existing settings

New settings

Qlik Cloud Data Integration landing tasks are the first step of transferring data into your cloud data warehouse, or of landing data directly into your data lake. This release provides additional configuration options to control the behavior of the landing task and improve performance, including:

Control tables

Control tables provide additional status information in the target data platform such as the landing status, suspended tables and the task history, including the number and volume of records processing during landing.
Error handling policies

Error handling policies allow you to select what you want to happen when a data truncation or other data errors occur, such as Ignore errors, Suspend table or Stop the task.

Changes to setting locations and names

We have also made changes to a few of the existing options within the landing and replication settings to help make them more intuitive.

Renamed tabs

The Runtime tab has been renamed to SaaS application to reflect the fact that its settings are only relevant when moving data from a SaaS application source. For Replication projects, the Replication mode tab has been renamed to Task modes and now has two sub-headings: Replication mode and Apply changes mode.

Relocated and renamed settings

The following changes apply to landing tasks only:

The Change processing interval option was moved from the SaaS application (previously called Runtime) tab to the General tab.

The following changes apply to both landing tasks and "Land data in data lake" tasks:

The Parallel execution option has been renamed to Maximum number of tables to load in parallel and moved to the Full load tab.
The LOB option has been renamed to Include LOB columns and limit column size to (KB) and moved to the Metadata tab.

In addition to being able to reload individual tables it is now possible to reload the target for the entire Landing Task in the event of a critical failure, such as failure in reading/parsing a source database for Change Data Capture (CDC). Or if critical issues occur with log-based CDC like missing transaction/archive logs in a source database. Reloading the entire Landing Task will also automatically restart the CDC process, if enabled, and additional downstream storage tasks will correct the storage data on the next execution, ensuring changes are tracked for historical management (Type 2 data).

New Direct Access gateway version

Direct Access gateway 1.6.2 resolves an issue that would sometimes cause the Connector Agent to crash when working in process isolation mode.

Customers working with Direct Access gateway 1.6.1 in process isolation mode are strongly encouraged to upgrade to this version.

New Direct Access gateway version

Direct Access gateway 1.6.1 introduces several important features and enhancements, improving overall stability and performance.

Support for spreading reloads across multiple connector processes

Connector process isolation has been added to Direct Access gateway. This is an opt-in feature, meaning that it is off by default. Process isolation allows administrators with direct access to the gateway server operating system to control how many processes are available for reloads per connector type. Spreading reloads across multiple connector processes increases the level of isolation by reducing the number of reloads running concurrently on each connector process. This in turn can improve overall Direct Access gateway stability in cases where connector crashes have occurred.

To learn more about process isolation, see Process isolation

Added the ability to disable chunking when working with the SAP BW (via Direct Access gateway) connector

This version introduces the BEX_ONE_CHUNK application parameter for the SAP BW (via Direct Access gateway) connector. When accessing SAP BW directly from Qlik Cloud (that is, not via Direct access gateway), to optimize performance, the result set is divided into chunks in the SAP backend and read as separate threads. However, when accessing SAP BW via Direct Access gateway, dividing the result set into chunks has no real advantage. On the contrary, it consumes more of the shared memory in SAP as it requires an additional temp table to be created for the duration of the data transfer. It's possible (though usually not required) to start chunking by setting BEX_ONE_CHUNK:false in the appsettings.json file, which is located in the SAP connector binaries folder.
Diagnostics improvements for SAP BW (via Direct Access gateway) and SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) connectors

For SAP BW (via Direct Access gateway) and SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) connector logs, a _port suffix was added before the log file name extension, and a ProcessID=### message was added to the connector's log files in order to distinguish between events from new instances of the connector listening on the same port.
Reconnection improvements

The reconnection mechanism during reload has been improved so that Direct Access gateway no longer needs to connect to the pod that started the reload (as was previously the case). Now, instead of repeatedly trying to connect to the pod that started the reload (which often resulted in reload failures), it will connect to the first available pod.

For information about resolved issues, see Direct Access gateway version history.

For information about how to upgrade, see The upgrade procedure.

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.

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.

Data preparation in the hub

We have now added the ability to create Qlik scripts directly from the hub, using a new and improved script editor. Users can now build and deploy Qlik scripts upstream of analytics apps, which can be executed and result in output files in formats such as QVD and PARQUET. These files can be stored in the hub and used for analytics and AutoML applications.

The script editor also now includes a data preview feature, allowing users to get better insight when developing scripts. This provides our customers with an improved workflow for preparing data, while setting the stage for future enhancements to analytics data prep capabilities

Loading and transforming data with scripting: Using script editor

OAuth: Limiting access by scopes

Customers are now able to set the access control for Qlik Cloud OAuth clients, whereas previously, all OAuth machine-to-machine clients were assigned the tenant administrator role. Customers can now regulate the permissions of OAuth clients by enhancing security around any sensitive data and restricting the permissible capabilities and actions of end-users.

If you have an existing OAuth client, it will have the user_default and admin_classic scopes assigned to maintain backward compatibility. You may choose to update the OAuth client to have the scopes you want tokens to possess if you want them to be more restrictive.

Scopes set for existing OAuth clients

For new OAuth clients, you will need to select the scopes tokens will possess so they perform only the actions you want them to.

Select scopes for new OAuth clients

When users access applications with a Qlik Cloud OAuth client for the first time, they will need to grant the OAuth application permission to access the data the scopes allow. The scopes set for the OAuth client will appear in a consent screen users can accept.

Creating and managing OAuth clients

Registering data loaded by Stitch

Qlik Talend Data Integration users can now seamlessly bring in data landed by Stitch into Qlik data projects and utilize Qlik data transformation services on this data. New UI options allow Qlik users to choose settings such as the watermark column and soft deletions when registering incremental data ingested by Stitch. These settings tweak the generated SQL based on the choices selected and optimize transformation processing time and cost.

Monitor views: Lineage and impact filtering

Monitor views now provides more granular views into tasks. You now have the ability to filter tasks within a data pipeline, based on impact analysis or pipeline lineage.

Lineage filtering: allows you to select a task and automatically include any related upstream tasks. For example you could select a Data Mart task and see all the upstream tasks that impact the health of that data mart.
Impact filtering: allows you to select a task and see all downstream tasks in the Monitor View. For example, you could select an SAP Landing task and see all other tasks impacted by the SAP landing task.

These filters can be saved as part of a Monitor view definition. Within these filtered views, it is possible to do further filtering by errors as an example, to analyze how a task error impacts upstream or downstream data pipeline components.

Public collections

We are pleased to introduce public collections, which let Tenant and Analytics admins create collations of content from one or more spaces for their users. These collections provide a simple, yet powerful way to group content into more logical buckets for your end users, which is especially valuable when content that's regularly used by specific business teams or roles are spread across multiple spaces.

As public collections respect spaces access control, users will automatically see collections if they have access to at least one piece of content in that collection via space membership. They will only see content in the collection that they have permission to see. Content can be added to one or many collections.

Qlik Cloud Analytics support for end-of-life versions of Microsoft SQL Server to end

Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and earlier are not supported by Microsoft (see SQL Server lifecycle dates). If you’re unsure which SQL Server version you’re using, use one of the methods described in Determine which version and edition of SQL Server Database Engine is running.

The Qlik Cloud Analytics connector for Microsoft SQL Server officially supports versions 2014 through 2022. However, it has continued to work with older versions. But this will soon change.

Qlik Cloud Analytics is performing a required security update in August 2023, resulting in no access to Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or earlier. To continue using the Qlik Cloud Analytics connector for Microsoft SQL Server, ensure that your environment is on a supported Microsoft SQL Server version.

It’s recommended that you continuously upgrade to the latest version, currently Microsoft SQL Server 2022 (16.x). For reference and details, review the Microsoft documentation on how to upgrade SQL Server.

Outdated, out of support versions of Microsoft SQL Server and Qlik Cloud Analytics

New Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access version

July 13, 2023

New Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access version

Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access 1.4.2 improves overall stability and performance by resolving several issues.

Changing the ODBC_LOG_LEVEL value in the C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Gateway\configuration.properties file would have no effect.
Reload would fail with the following error if an active Direct Access gateway connection was not used for several minutes:

Connector error: Invalid load request (DirectAccess-1006)

The issue was resolved by not timing out if the session is still alive.
Loading tables with numerous columns from MySQL and PostgreSQL would sometimes fail with the following error:

System.InvalidOperationException: Failed to HPACK encode the headers
When users did not have privileges on a Managed Space containing the Direct Access gateway, the following unclear error would be shown:

Requested endpoint could not be provisioned due to failure to acquire a load slot: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

The error message was improved with a more accurate description of the issue.
Multiple reload attempts would sometimes fail due to excessive memory consumption.

To benefit from the improved stability and performance, customers are encouraged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity. For information about how to upgrade, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation.

Support for private connections in Qlik Cloud Data Integration

It is becoming increasing popular for organizations to isolate their data platforms from the Internet with a private connection. As these data platforms are not exposed to the Internet, they cannot be directly accessed from Qlik Cloud. There are several types of private connection, examples of which include:

Snowflake AWS PrivateLink where public connectivity (via port 443) has been disabled
Microsoft SQL Server (or any other RDBMS) running in a VPC that has a private IP address only

With the introduction of private connection support, organizations can safely and seamlessly execute Qlik Cloud Data Integration ELT operations (including transformations and data marts) on data platforms inside protected deployments such as a VPC.

This feature is currently supported with SQL Server and Snowflake targets only, and requires Data Movement gateway 2022.11.70 or later.

Microsoft SQL Server target

Common Data Movement gateway use cases

Support for SQL Server target in Qlik Cloud Data Integration

Customers can now land data from any supported source to either an on-premises or cloud-based (Amazon RDS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure) deployment of SQL Server. The landed data can then be leveraged to perform ELT operations further down the data pipeline, such as transformations and data mart creation. The new SQL Server target can be accessed either directly from Qlik Cloud or via Data Movement gateway if it is not exposed to the Internet (for example, if it is in a VPC).

Microsoft SQL Server target

New business glossary features

Qlik has added some key capabilities to the business glossary within Qlik Cloud:

Associate term with master measures and dimensions: Users can already define which apps and datasets are related to a particular term in the business glossary. Qlik has now expanded this relationship capability to master Items. When creating a new master measure or dimension, the user can now also define which terms relate to the master item.
Pop-up term definition: If a chart uses a master item that has a defined associated business term, the user can see the term’s definition by simply hovering their mouse over the master item label.
Glossary links within lineage summary view: The lineage summary is an optional view, available with most chart types, that gives users an explanation of where the data came from within that chart. A link to any glossary terms referenced by masters items used within the chart has been added to this view.

New Qlik Data Gateway - Data Movement version

Qlik Data Gateway - Data Movement 2022.11.70 enhances the driver installation utility and improves overall security, stability and performance by resolving several issues.

Support for accessing target data platforms not exposed to the Internet

This version adds support for performing ELT operations on target data platforms located in a private network (such as a VPC) that cannot be directly accessed from Qlik Cloud. Currently, supported is limited to SQL Server and Snowflake targets.

Improved driver installation utility for SAP clients

In previous versions, customers needed to run the "source arep_login.sh" command when installing SAP clients. From this version, it is no longer necessary to run this command.

Resolved issues

When a replication task on Data Movement gateway failed and recovered automatically, the recovered state would not be communicated to the Landing data asset in Qlik Cloud.
End-to-end encryption for Data Movement gateway would not be enabled by default, and was controlled by runtime flags.

Catalog profile improvements - new limitation

The profile service needs to compute statistics and generate a schema for large files. If the file is too large to process in full, the profile server should return a schema and a partial number of rows. We will limit the profile of a data file by the number of rows in the file, instead of the size of the file in bytes. The max number of rows profiled will be 12 million. If the maximum is exceeded, the first 12 million will be profiled.

Create personalized straight tables with chart exploration

In the Visualization bundle, the new straight table significantly boosts self-service capabilities with chart exploration. It acts as a catch-all table, providing app consumers with the flexibility to pick and choose how they would like their table presented.

App creators can add many fields simultaneously, customize the table at the column-level, add alternative dimensions and measures, set column width, apply pagination, and turn on chart exploration.

Chart exploration allows users that do not have edit rights to customize the original straight table when they are in analysis mode. These users can add or remove columns, change sort order, re-arrange columns, and make selections. They can then share, download, subscribe to, or bookmark the new table layout. The changes made in chart exploration mode by a user are not seen by other users working in the same sheet. It is very helpful in apps that have many viewers with different needs.

New Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access version

Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access version 1.3.1 includes the CA bundle for Qlik Cloud Government and resolves several issues.

CA bundle file for Qlik Cloud Government

The CA bundle authenticates the identity of the Qlik Cloud tenant, thereby ensuring a trusted connection.

In previous Direct Access gateway versions, the CA bundle file for Qlik Cloud Government customers was provided by Qlik as needed. From this version, the CA bundle file is included in the installation.

In a default setup, the CA bundle file is installed to the following location: C:\Program Files\Qlik\ConnectorAgent\caBundle]qcg_ca_bundle.pem

For more information, see Installing Qlik Data Gateway - Direct Access.

Resolved issues

A security vulnerability was identified whereby the HTTP client used for proxy connectivity would follow a redirect.
The Direct Access gateway agent would sometimes crash with the following error:

Unable to write data to the transport connection: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine
An exception would sometimes occur during log initialization, which would cause the Direct Access gateway to hang on restart.
Reload session handling was improved to prevent unnecessary timeouts.
The Direct Access gateway Version column in the Administration activity center would indicate the wrong version.
The agent would continue to send data to the gateway after the user stopped the task or the quota limit was reached.
End-to-end encryption for Data Gateway would not be enabled by default and was controlled by runtime flags.

Apache Parquet files are now supported as Qlik Sense data source

Apache Parquet is a columnar storage format, highly efficient for storing and querying large datasets. In Qlik Sense, you can read data from Parquet files, and store tables as Parquet files. Using Parquet allows for efficient querying of specific columns in a table rather than reading the entire table. This makes it well-suited for use with big data processing. Also, Parquet supports efficient compression and encoding of data which can further reduce storage space and improve query performance.

Improved system performance with the data load CreateSearchIndexOnReload variable

The CreateSearchIndexOnReload variable for the Data load editor determines whether search index files are created when an app’s data is reloaded.

Previously when this variable was set to 1, search index files were created when an app’s data was reloaded.

To help improve system performance, setting CreateSearchIndexOnReload to 1 additionally results in search index files being created if:

The app has been searched recently (determined by the number of days that have passed since the last search was performed on the app).
The app's data is relatively large (determined by the duration of the most recent index creation).

Qlik Cloud Data Integration pipeline scheduling changes

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 00:00:00 GMT

February 28, 2023

Qlik Cloud Data Integration pipeline scheduling changes

This release enhances pipeline run-time behavior to support more advanced task scheduling options to provide more dependency control, execution flexibility, and performance optimization.

Initially, a data pipeline was composed of independently scheduled tasks that ran at regular minute or hourly intervals based on project defaults that the user could override. However, new options provide regular interval scheduling such as minutes, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or particular dates and times. You also have the option to schedule a task based on a specific event, such successfully completing a prior task.

Scheduling dialog in Qlik Talend Data Integration

You might encounter a prompt informing you that a project is outdated, asking you to upgrade your data project to take advantage of the new scheduling options. Upgrading is not mandatory, and your running projects will be unaffected if you choose not to upgrade. However, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the new scheduling system. The upgrade is manual and involves selecting scheduling options for each task in the pipeline.

Improve data discovery and collaboration with Qlik Cloud Business Glossary

A business glossary provides data and analytic users with a single, easily-accessible repository of business terms and descriptions to ensure that everyone is using the same definitions across your organization. A shared understanding of terminology is essential for data discovery and collaboration across departments.

The Qlik Cloud Business Glossary provides a robust set of capabilities beyond simply defining terms and their meaning. Users can categorize terms logically by business context, define relationships between terms, and ensure that only approved terms are used. The glossary can also be directly linked to apps and datasets so that data consumers can easily view a term’s definition within their current UI.

Business glossaries can be imported and exported from one Qlik Cloud environment to another. In addition, Qlik Cloud supports the import of Atlan and Apache Atlas glossary formats.

Troubleshoot app reloads with new error messages

Five new reload events have been added to app reload notifications. Previously, users would be notified when reloads:

Succeed
Fail
Exceeded_limit

Now you will also be notified when:

Fail: An engine connection error prevents a reload.
Fail: An issue with session fetching causes a reload to fail.
Fail: Engine openDoc issue leads to a reload failure.
Fail: Reload fails due to permission issues.

Notifications will no longer be sent when apps are reloaded in the Data load editor and Data manager. This removes unnecessary notifications when app developers work on their apps.

New chart functions for custom app navigation

The new chart functions ObjectId() and InObject() enable creation of guided applications with custom navigation functionality. For example, you can use the functions in conditional expressions to create colored buttons to navigate between sheets in an app.

The functions give access to the hierarchy of objects in a Qlik Sense app. ObjectId() will return the ID of the object in which the expression is evaluated. The function takes one optional string parameter, which can specify the type of the object you're looking for. ObjectId('sheet') will return the ID for the sheet of the expression. InObject(ID) is true when evaluated inside an object with the specified ID.

New Automations connectors and templates

Automations has added a new connector, a new template, and updated the Qlik Cloud Services connector.

Not supported in Qlik Cloud Government.

New connector

Databricks is a cloud-based, collaborative data science, data engineering, and data analytics platform that combines the best of data warehouses and data lakes into a lakehouse architecture. Use the new connector blocks to run Databricks pipelines as part of your analytical data workflow. Additionally, create automations that perform or track Databricks ML model transitions and take appropriate actions. These allow you to start tasks after previous tasks have completed and run subsequent tasks after the Databricks job or pipeline has completed. For more information, see How to get started with Databricks.

New template

The new API key alerting template sends an email alert to API key owners with a list of API keys that are about to expire or have been revoked. Additionally, the template can also send all tenant administrators email alerts that contain a list of ownerless API keys due to user deletion. For more information, see Alert API key owners about the API key expiration within x days.

Time series decomposition chart functions

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.

Field-level lineage and impact analysis

The Lineage and Impact analysis features are now visible and available to all users. Administrators no longer need to turn on these features.

These capabilities include the ability to not only visually show the data history by table but also by the specific field within a table—starting with applications all the way back to the original source. Field-level lineage helps you establish trust in the data. When you explore an app, you can also quickly access a data lineage summary that traces back any dimensions and measures in a chart to the original sources. This makes it easy for any user to understand where the data came from within a chart.

Field-level lineage graph

Selecting Impact analysis produces a different user interface that shows which databases, apps, files, or links are directly or indirectly impacted if the value of a particular field was changed.

Qlik Cloud makes a clear distinction between Lineage and Impact analysis:

Lineage shows you a detailed visual representation of the history of a field or dataset, back through the applications and interim datasets to its original source.
Impact analysis shows a downstream view of a data element’s dependencies - which databases, apps, files or links would directly or indirectly be impacted if the value or structure of that particular field was changed.

App performance evaluation now includes public sheets

Performance evaluation improvements now present public sheet performance measurements as part of the evaluation. App developers can now see which sheets are impeding the initial load time of an app as well as subsequent loads when sheet content should typically be cached. They can further drill down to see the top 5 slowest objects per sheet. Enhancements have also been made when measuring un-cached response times for objects in isolation. Improved isolation reduces inter-object caching for better fairness when comparing and ranking objects based on response times.

Update: Important change to JWT authorization capabilities with tenants

Customers impacted: Qlik Cloud customers with JWT authorization entitlement enabled

Customers with existing JWT (JSON Web Token) configurations now have until July 19, 2022, to update their JWT token creation code with two new attributes. These attributes were introduced to enhance the security and use of JWTs sent to Qlik Cloud tenants with configured JWT identity provider configurations. After July 18, 2022, those using JWT login methods without these additional attributes will be denied access.

Qlik highly recommends adding these attributes before July 19, 2022, to mitigate any disruption to the access and login experience for Qlik Cloud users. After this date, users will need to contact Qlik Support to have access to their JWT login restored.

For tenant administrators who implemented the JWT code and are impacted by this change, see the following tutorial for the steps to make these critical updates: Implement JWT Authorization tutorial.

Chart level scripting

Chart level scripting is a powerful feature that allows you to modify the dynamic dataset behind a chart using a subset of the Qlik scripting language, with techniques such as variables and loops. You can add or modify rows and columns that were not in the original dataset. This allows for calculations in chart expressions that were previously not possible, such as simulations or goal-seeking.

Important change to JWT authorization capabilities with tenants

Customers impacted: Qlik Cloud customers with JWT authorization entitlement enabled

As of June 7, 2022, Qlik Cloud will enforce tighter controls related to JWT (JSON Web Token) authorization capabilities with tenants. Two new attributes are being introduced to enhance the security and use of JWTs sent to Qlik Cloud tenants with configured JWT identity provider configurations. JWT authorization attempts to Qlik Cloud tenants made after June 6, 2022, will be denied access without these additional attributes.

We highly recommend adding these attributes prior to June 7, 2022, in order to mitigate any disruption to the access and login experience for Qlik Cloud end users.

For tenant administrators who are impacted by this change, see the following tutorial for further instructions, Implement JWT Authorization tutorial.

Support for field-level lineage

Thu, 31 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT

March 31, 2022

Support for field-level lineage

As part of delivering explainable BI, new catalog capabilities are now available. Explainable BI is the concept that users will gain more confidence in using data and making decisions based on it, if they have a good understanding, or explanation, of the information’s origin.

Lineage capabilities have expanded to not only visually show the data history by table but also by the specific field within a table—starting with applications all the way back to the original source. Field-level lineage helps you establish trust in the data. When you explore an app, you can now quickly access a data lineage summary that traces back any dimensions and measures in a chart to the original sources. This makes it easy for any user to understand where the data came from within a chart.

There is also now a distinction between Lineage and Impact Analysis.

Lineage shows you a detailed visual representation of the history of a field or dataset, back through the applications and interim datasets to its original source.
Impact Analysis shows you a downstream view of the dependencies for a data element, including the databases, apps, files, or links that will be directly or indirectly impacted if the value of that particular field changes.

The lineage graph shows the history of apps and data in your organization in a graphical data flow.

Impact analysis shows the downstream direct and indirect dependencies for a data element
