New Direct Access gateway version

Direct Access gateway 1.5.3 resolves the following issues:

• ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector: The connector would sometimes crash when canceling reloads of large tables. An improvement was made to help prevent this.

• Microsoft SQL Server (via Direct Access gateway) connector: When attempting to establish a connection to a SQL Server hosted on older Windows Server versions, the connection would fail due to a TLS compatibility issue and the following error would be returned:

  Please check the values for Username‚ Password‚ Host and other properties. Description: Client unable to establish connection – ERROR [08001] [Qlik][SqlServer] Problem establishing connection to the server.

  The SQL Server driver has been updated to correct the problem.

• SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) connector: When attempting to preview a table, the following error would sometimes occur:

  Exception of Type System.OutOfMemoryException

• SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) connector: Attempting to preview a table would sometimes time out after a few minutes with the following error:

  Request could not be completed.

• SAP SQL (via Direct Access gateway) and SAP BW (via Direct Access gateway) connectors: Added diagnostic information to the logs to assist in troubleshooting multiple concurrent requests.
