March 5, 2024: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Format specifier added for STORE of parquet files with nested data

When storing a single table to Parquet format, it now requires opt in to use nested data using the delimiter is option. This ensures backwards compatibility with store commands which do not intend to trigger nested formatting.

Monitor your capacity peak usage of the day

Qlik Cloud now offer peak values of your consumption, which makes it easier to fetch the capacity used per day in monitoring apps as well as showing consistent charts in the Management Console. One example where this is used is your “Large App capacity” consumption.

Updates to the data-connections API, and new data-sources API

Qlik Sense applications running in Qlik Cloud rely on Analytics Data Connections to load data from external sources. The first API to support the creation of these connections was the Data Connectivity as a Service (DCaaS) API released in September 2023, and this and additional capabilities have now been merged into the data-connections API.

This release of the data-connections API supports creation of direct analytics connections, as well as connections via the direct access gateway, to all analytics data sources.
