August 6, 2024: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Refine your in-app subscriptions with dynamic expressions

In-app subscriptions are now more powerful with the use of bookmark capabilities, allowing for dynamic expressions to be used in report creation! When creating and sharing subscriptions, use expression search to filter the data at report generation time based on date expressions, calculated values, and more… allowing for more accurate reports!

Shared data space

With the launch of Qlik Talend Cloudwe 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 “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 ‘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.
