Deel dit bericht

Direct Access gateway 1.7.7 introduces both new and enhanced features, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

Support for the SAP Report connector

From this version, customers can now access their SAP Report connector via Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access.

Support for Direct Access gateway with Qlik Cloud Government DoD

This version adds support for using Direct Access gateway with Qlik Cloud Government DoD.

Alleviating latency caused by DNS resolution

From this version, service-to-service communication will now be performed using the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1) instead of localhost. This should effectively eliminate any latency resulting from DNS resolution.

Configuring connector startup parameters

You can now increase the timeout value and number of attempts for connector startup. This might be useful when performing a considerable number of concurrent reloads. Increasing these parameters will give Direct Access gateway more time and additional attempts to run a connector before exiting with failure and requiring a restart.

Requesting load slots asynchronously

This version introduces the option to request load slots asynchronously. Requesting load slots asynchronously alleviates temporary command pipe congestion to Direct Access gateway during creation of the reload data WebSocket to Qlik Cloud. This might be useful when performing a considerable number of concurrent reloads.

New location for the installation logs

The installation log files will now be located in <Direct Access gateway installation folder>\data\logs, which is consistent with the location of other Direct Access gateway log files.

In previous versions, the installation log files were located in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp. Any logs that are still in this folder will be copied to the new location during upgrade.
