Google Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL as a source

As part of our continuous improvement commitment in Qlik Talend Data Integration, we are pleased to announce support for a new data source expanding the many different sources you can extract your valuable data from.

You can now use the PostgreSQL connector to move real-time data, with change data capture (CDC), from a Google Cloud SQL for a PostgreSQL data source to any supported target.

New Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access version

Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access 1.4.1 improves overall stability and performance by introducing a health check enhancement and resolving several issues.

Improved health check

Direct Access gateway checks its health periodically. Starting from this version, the health check will restart the Direct Access gateway service if it is unresponsive for five minutes.

Resolved issues

• When starting a reload with a query that returns metadata immediately but only returns the first data chunk several minutes later, the following error would sometimes occur:

  Connector error: data loading error (DirectAccess-4008)

• In certain scenarios, Direct Access gateway would not reconnect to Qlik Cloud when a reload was interrupted.

• In rare situations, the following error would be encountered during reloads:

  No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

• When connecting to SQL Server, special characters in passwords would not be encoded correctly, resulting in the following error:

  Command test connection returned non-success: Error message: Please check the values for Username‚ Password‚ Host and other properties. Description: Access credentials are not valid for this connection.

• The ODBC connector would sometimes crash when aborting load activity from the user interface while the query was returning data.

• In rare scenarios related to heavy loads, reloads would sometimes fail with the following error:

  Connector error: Unknown reason:. Index was outside the bounds of the array. (DirectAccess-1500)

To benefit from the improved stability and performance, customers are encouraged to upgrade at the earliest opportunity. For information about how to upgrade, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation.
