Only supported in Qlik Cloud Government.

New connectors and templates in Application Automation

Application Automation has added two new connectors and updated an existing connector, as well as adding four new templates.

Not supported in Qlik Cloud Government.

Connectors

  • Qlik Enterprise Manager (new)—Build an automation to connect with Qlik Enterprise Manager, the management interface for Qlik Data Integration that helps you design, execute, and monitor Qlik Replicate and Qlik Compose tasks across large business landscapes. For example, create an automation that monitors and then posts alerts to Slack when an endpoint, server, or a task stops running or an error occurs.

  • Microsoft Azure Blob Storage (new)—New native cloud storage blocks provide connections to the Microsoft Azure Blob Storage platform. Blobs are encrypted storage solutions that Microsoft offers to store unstructured data.

  • Qlik Cloud Services (updated)—New blocks have been added under Automations. These blocks do not include webhooks. Use the new blocks to run a health check on automation usage in your organization, report on connector usage in a tenant, and automation management across your tenant.

Templates

Three new Alerting templates provide email notifications in the following situations:

  • Alert app owners about apps without reloads in the past X days—App owners receive a list of apps that have not been reloaded in a specified number of days, or apps that have been created but not reloaded.

  • Alert app owners about apps that have not been accessed in the last 28 days—App owners receive a list of apps that have not been opened in the last 28 days.

  • Alert app owners and tenant admins about orphaned data connections—Data connection owners receive a notification about orphaned data connections when the associated space has been deleted. Tenant admins receive notifications about data connections that have been orphaned because the data connection owner has been deleted.

An additional template, Store a straight table as a CSV file on Amazon S3, stores a straight table from a Qlik Sense app to a CSV file on Amazon S3.

To learn about how the Qlik Community is using templates, see Application Automation.

Using templates

Updates to the Application Automation canvas

New improvements in the Application Automation canvas provide better zoom control, allow you to pan the automation instead of horizontal or vertical scrolling, and include enhancements to the design of blocks, the block library, and the block configuration pane. A new toolbar provides easy access to change automation settings, reposition and zoom, undo and redo, save, run, and view the output.
