  • VMC > Finance Settings > Finance Report Scheduler > Finance Report Schedules

The following filters are common for the views with pagination implemented:

  • Owner – text field you can use to filter the content by its owner.

  • Sort by – a dropdown you can use to sort the content by edited or created items.

  • Sort order – a dropdown you can use to sort the content in an ascending or descending order.

  • Type – a dropdown you can use to filter the content by type, like email or slack. Available only in VMC > System Settings > Integrations and VMC > Writeback Settings > Destinations.

4.15.0 2024-02-15 Resolved Issue CLB-4536

Error while upgrading Vizlib Server. When the customer tried to upgrade Vizlib Server versions v4.13.2 until v4.15.0, a 503 error appeared and the log is stuck at “Downloading and Installing Required Dependencies“.

4.14.0 2023-12-18 New Feature CLB-4268

Node 18 upgrade (ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED!)

The update to 4.14.0 comes with a potentially breaking change (security update) for users to be aware of - the update of the underlying runtime to Node version 18. Node version 18 comes bundled with a modern OpenSSL version which forces Node to use newer, more secure SSL certificate cipher suites.

This means that using an older SSL certificate, possibly encrypted with an older, currently insecure encryption algorithm might cause the VizlibServer to not be able to initiate a secure HTTPS server. To combat this issue, we included a one- time, additional flow of certificate verification that is being conducted during the installation process:

  • During the installation, the installer will include an additional form for the user to input an existing SSL certificate (PFX or PEM formats).

  • The user-provided certificate will be verified for compatibility with new Vizlib Server version.

  • Hopefully, the validation completes with no errors and the user can proceed with the installation as usual.

  • If the validation fails, take a look at the steps below, describing how to update the existing certificate to be supported by Vizlib Server.

Step 1 (optional, in case there is no standalone OpenSSL version installed on the system)

Install OpenSSL on server (https://www.openssl.org) - this will be used the system terminal to adjust certificate to meet Node 18 security requirements.

Step 2

Open the terminal in the location you saved the certificate you want to update in. This will also be the output location of the updated certificate.

Step 3

Run the following openssl command in terminal (replace oldfPfxFile.pfx with current certificate) openssl pkcs12 -in oldPfxFile.pfx -nodes -out decryptedPfxFile.tmp

If this results in an error stating 'unable to load provider legacy', you might need to first set the variable, so run this command:

SET OPENSSL_MODULES=C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin and try again.

If you installed in a different location than C:\Program Files, change the command accordingly.

Step 4

Run the following openssl command in terminal (replace newPfxFile.pfx with desired certificate name)

openssl pkcs12 -certpbe aes-256-ecb -in decryptedPfxFile.tmp -export -out newPfxFile.pfx

Step 5 (optional, only if issue still persists)

  • Run the following openssl command in terminal (newPfxFile.pfx is certificate that will be checked - to see encryption methods used)

    openssl pkcs12 -info -in newPfxFile.pfx -noout

Step 6

Delete the decrypted file either manually or by running:

For Windows:

del decryptedPfxFile.tmp

For Linux:

rm decryptedPfxFile.tmp (edited)

4.14.0 2023-12-18 Resolved Issue CLB-4460

Logs Browser Improvements [Breaking Changes]. We are introducing a new version of the Logs Browser in The Vizlib Management Console (VMC). Key change is that after the update, all newly created logs, will be stored and read inside Vizlib Database, instead of separate logfiles. This means that after the update, history of logs visible inside Logs Browser, will display only logs created since the update. Former logs will be still available in logfiles on disk. Ability to create logs to filesystem is still retained and can be used as a troubleshooting backup in case when there are issues with establishing database connection. It can be disabled from VMC.

[Qlik Cloud] Writeback - Cloud content admins personal API keys.

We have introduced several improvements to the Vizlib Server on top of the Qlik Cloud. We focused on empowering the Content admins, to make it easier for them to create and administrate writeback destinations and applications. Content admins can configure their own API keys, which will be used by all destinations they have created. This ensures enterprise- level security access to your Qlik Cloud tenant.

[Qlik Cloud] Writeback - Cloud automations improvements for Input Form [BREAKING CHANGE]. We modified how writeback data is being sent to Qlik's automation API, to include custom payload schemas. Automations created with prior versions of Vizlib Server might have to be altered to work with the new payload structure. Easily integrate with various APIs and build sophisticated conditions based on the payload structure.

2022-11-17

Resolved Issue

CLB-3988

Docker compose setup script changes - Qlik Cloud sign-in [BREAKING CHANGE]. We simplified some steps in the setup script used to generate docker-compose file for Vizlib Server for SaaS. There is one breaking change which may affect existing installations. From now on the docker-compose file will contain password in a plain-text format. If you have used setup script in one of the previous versions there is a high chance that your docker-compose file contain Vizlib Management Console admin's password in a hashed format. This will no longer work when upgrading to this version.

Action required: ensure that your docker-compose file contain VMC admin's password in a plain text format.

Enterprise customers are not affected by this change.
