Creating a Qlik NPrinting connection

This page describes how to configure a connection to a Qlik NPrinting environment within the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool. This connection enables the retrieval of NPrinting entities as part of a broader Qlik Sense migration to Qlik Cloud.

Steps to create a Qlik NPrinting connection

Do the following:

1. Open the Connections tab and select the Qlik NPrinting option.

2. Click Create New.

3. In the Connection Name field, enter a descriptive label for the connection (for example, NPrinting-Prod).

4. In the Qlik NPrinting Server URL field, specify the full URL to the NPrinting server, including the port. This is typically formatted as https://qliknprintingserver.com:4993.

5. API Key is the Authentication Type for this type of connection. This method uses a JWT-based API token for authentication. A key must be generated within the Qlik NPrinting environment.
   Paste the token into the API Key field. The value will be masked automatically.

   Information note

   For detailed instructions on generating a JWT in Qlik NPrinting, see NPrinting: How to configure and call APIs with JWT authentication.

6. Click Test Connection to validate access to the NPrinting server.

   • A success message confirms that the credentials and server URL are correct.
   • If the test fails, verify the authentication details and server URL, and consult the error message for additional context.

7. Click Create Connection to finalize the setup.

8. A confirmation message will appear, and the connection will be added to the connections list.
