A service cluster is a collection of nodes. Gathering the nodes into a cluster enables central configuration.
On a multi-node site, the service cluster stores configurations, such as persistence type, database connection, and static content folder, for all nodes. All nodes are linked to the service cluster so that the settings can be unified.
Do the following:
-
Open the QMC: https://<QPS server name>/qmc
-
Select Service cluster on the QMC start page or from the Start
drop-down menu to display the service cluster page.

Data encryption
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
QVF encryption |
Encrypts the Qlik Sense apps (QVF) with the encryption key provided in the Encryption key input field. App content (data and bookmarks) is being encrypted when saved. Apps that were created before QVF encryption was enabled will be encrypted the next time they are saved with updates to data or bookmarks. |
|
QVD encryption |
Encrypts new Qlik Sense data files (QVD) that are created with the STORE command in the data load script. The QVDs are encrypted with the encryption key provided in Encryption key input field. Data files are being encrypted when stored. Data files that were created before QVD encryption was enabled will be encrypted the next time the data is stored. |
|
Encryption key |
The encryption key to be used to encrypt Qlik Sense apps and Qlik Sense data files. This is the Thumbprint field of the encryption certificate. |
Impersonation
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
|
Reload tasks |
By selecting Reload tasks, you activate impersonation. Impersonation enables you to run reload tasks with the permissions of the app owner. Within a task chain, apps can have different owners, and then permissions to sources are dependent on each individual owner's access rights. When Reloads tasks is unselected, reload tasks run on behalf of the internal system account, sa_scheduler, that has elevated privileges and, technically, can use any data source. |
