Product limitations

Last updated: 2026-11-03

The following limitations apply to the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool. These areas are not yet supported and may impact the scope of migration from Qlik Sense Client-Managed to Qlik Cloud.

ODAG applications

Preserving the link between ODAG summary applications and template applications is not yet supported by the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool; therefore, ODAG apps are not currently supported for migration.

Reload tasks and chains

Qlik Cloud holds one schedule and one event trigger per reload task. As a result, the following limitations apply when reload tasks and task chains are migrated with the Migrate Tasks step:

• A Qlik Sense Client-Managed task with several entry points becomes one Qlik Cloud task per entry point, each carrying a copy of everything below it. A task waiting on several parents becomes one task per parent.
• Qlik Cloud has no AND logic on triggers. A trigger that waits on several tasks collapses to one condition. The other conditions are dropped and reported. The time constraint of a composite trigger has no equivalent in Qlik Cloud and is dropped with it.
• Circular chains are not reproduced. The looping trigger is dropped and the chain migrates one way.
• External program, distribution, preload, and user-sync tasks cannot become Qlik Cloud reload tasks. Inside a chain, these tasks must be cut out. Standalone tasks of these types are not listed.
• Qlik Cloud has no trigger-less reload task. A chain root with no trigger in Qlik Sense Client-Managed is created on a schedule window that expires before it can fire. Start the task through the scheduling endpoint. Starting the reload of the application directly does not drive the chain.
• Qlik Cloud allows at most ten reload tasks per application and thirty concurrent reloads per tenant. The Qlik Analytics Migration Tool reports an overage per application. Reloads over the concurrency cap are queued.
• Reload chains are read-only inside a job. Edit them on the migration plan. Chains and tasks are not covered by the Excel import or export of the plan.
• The chain action to also reload the shared version of an application is not available in this release.

Export scope on older Qlik Sense servers

Qlik Sense servers released before May 2021 (product version below 14.20) cannot honor an export scope. For applications on these servers, the plan locks Export Scope to All.

Custom group mappings

Custom properties from Qlik Sense Client-Managed are not yet supported for migration to custom groups in Qlik Cloud. The Qlik Analytics Migration Tool does not currently support mapping or translating custom properties into Qlik Cloud's custom group structure.

Data connection folder access

The list of folders that folder data connections are allowed to point at has no editor in the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool. Edit the deployOptions.json file and restart the service. For details, see Data connection folder access.

Virtual proxies

The token of a virtual proxy created by the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool cannot be reissued. Create a new virtual proxy if the token is lost.

The node check that runs before a virtual proxy is created cannot see across network address translation (NAT). A mismatch must be acknowledged before the virtual proxy is created. For details, see Creating a Qlik Sense Client-Managed connection.

Upgrades

In-place upgrades are not supported. The installer refuses to install over an existing installation. To move to a new version, uninstall the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool, and then install the new version. For details, see Uninstalling and changing the Qlik Analytics Migration Tool.

Qlik NPrinting

The Qlik Analytics Migration Tool only supports the migration of Qlik NPrinting report templates that can be exported from the source Qlik NPrinting environment. Currently, only report types with export functionality in the source version of Qlik NPrinting are eligible for migration.

Qlik NPrinting publish tasks and their recipients are not migrated in this release. Migration of reports and filters is not affected.

For details about migrating Qlik NPrinting report templates to Qlik Cloud, see Exporting report templates from Qlik NPrinting to Qlik Cloud.
