New user role: Embedded Analytics User

Where customers embed Qlik Analytics for their end users, they can now assign a new embedded user role to restrict those users from accessing any Qlik Cloud interface other than the analytics app. This helps to further secure customer deployments in embedded scenarios.

OpenAI Chat Completion block

The new Chat Completion block in the OpenAI connector in Qlik Application Automation brings support for OpenAI’s powerful GPT models which you can now use to run prompts against. You can use this block when distributing email reports to generate custom messages that are tailored to the recipient and certain KPIs from the app that are shown in the report.

Amazon Bedrock connector

The Amazon Bedrock connector in Qlik Application Automation enables your automation to interact with any of the text and image models from Bedrock and send the model’s output to any other automation connector or use it as input for another Bedrock model. You can for example use the text models to process support incidents from tools like ServiceNow or Salesforce and generate tailored responses which you can then surface to your support team by writing them back to the respective support tool or sending them directly to your support team over Slack or Microsoft Teams.

Qlik Cloud Data Integration: Expanded support for private connections

A private connection can be used to ensure your data traffic remains secure and compliant. It simplifies both network management and security of your VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) without the need to open inbound firewalls ports, proxy devices or routing tables. Qlik Cloud Data Integration already supports private connections to Snowflake, Microsoft SQL Server and Amazon S3 data pipeline targets. With this release, customers can additionally utilize private connections when moving data to Databricks, Microsoft Azure Synapse, Google BigQuery, and Amazon Redshift.

Requires Qlik Data Gateway – Data Movement 2023.5.10 or later.

Qlik Cloud Data Integration: Replication and lake landing support

We take a cloud-first approach that enables rapid innovation and adoption. However, that does not mean that we are cloud-only. As part of our continued commitment to improving the long-term value for our customers, we are pleased to announce the release of a new use case for Replication when creating data projects. The new Replication use case is in addition to the existing ability to create data pipelines for all your data integration needs, such as Data Warehouse modernization.

The Replication project supports real-time data replication from supported data sources to a supported target.

Starting with this latest release, the first target that supports replicating data in real time, is Microsoft SQL Server. In addition to supporting Microsoft SQL Server on-premises, the following cloud providers are also supported:

On-premises
Amazon RDS
Google Cloud
Microsoft Azure (Microsoft Azure Managed Instance and Microsoft Azure Database)

Replication to Microsoft SQL Server requires Qlik Data Gateway – Data Movement 2022.11.74 or later.

Replication projects also provide support for landing data in a data lake with the addition of a new “Land data in data lake” task. The process of landing data delivers a full load to the data lake from your selected data source, while automatically delivering change data as new data in files in the lake.

Lake Landing supports delivery from any supported data sources (whether RDBMS or SaaS applications) to the data lake as either CSV, JSON or PARQUET formatted files.

Starting with this release, the first target that supports Lake Landing in real time, is Amazon S3, with more cloud object stores to follow.

This is the first of many target endpoints to support replication, stay tuned for further announcements, coming soon.

Landing data to Amazon S3 requires Qlik Data Gateway – Data Movement 2023.5.10 or later.
