August 15, 2023: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

Qlik Talend Data Integration improvements

The following improvements and bug fixes require Qlik Data Gateway – Data Movement 2022.11.74 or later. For information about how to upgrade, see Upgrading the Data Movement gateway installation.

Replication 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)

Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics target – Required driver upgrade

Customers moving data to Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics need to upgrade their SQL Server ODBC driver version to 18.x or later. Note that continuing to use SQL Server ODBC Driver 17.x might result in data errors. Upgrading the driver can be done using either the driver installation utility or manually. For instructions, see Driver setup.

New “Load data from source” option for SaaS application sources

A new Load data from source option was introduced, which allows customers to read their data directly from the source during Full Load, instead of using the cached data.

For more information on this option including use cases, see Landing settings.

Updated CA certificates

Data Movement gateway 2022.11.74 includes updated CA certificates, which are needed for authenticating the Qlik Cloud tenant. The updated CA certificates also provide support for the Ireland and Frankfurt regions. Therefore, customers with Qlik Cloud tenants in Ireland or Frankfurt who want to use Qlik Cloud Data Integration must upgrade to this version.

Resolved issue

Tasks landing data from an Oracle source would sometimes fail when a wide table contained unused or unsupported columns, or LOB columns that were not replicated.
