Data Movement gateway troubleshooting improvements

To provide finer granularity we have made additional log types available and introduced a log viewer, so you can now view and download log files related to Data Movement gateway processes. In most cases you should not need to view these log files; however, should you encounter an issue that you are unable to resolve on your own, Qlik Support will advise what logs to provide in order to resolve the root cause.

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Outdated, out of support versions of Microsoft SQL Server and Qlik Cloud Analytics
