4.22.1

2025-03-25

Resolved Issues/Updates

• [Qlik Cloud] If a user is doing a Writeback operation using the Automation type destination through Vizlib Server was assigned to too many Qlik user groups, it could have caused the call to result in an error. This is because the payload might have exceeded the Qlik API endpoint payload limit as the groups were included within the Automation payload. After the fix, the user groups are no longer included within the Automation execute call payload. (CLB-5444)

Resolved Issues

• 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". (CLB-4536)

4.14.0

2023-12-18

New Features

• 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)

  (CLB-4268)

Resolved Issues

• Server crash with MSSQL integration with Windows Authentication. Windows Authentication on a MSSQL integration could cause a crash. (CLB-4460)
• Connection error after changing destination details. When changing some destination details in Writeback table it could cause a connection error. (CLB-4403)
• Incorrect Slack integration cannot be deleted if any integration is the stream. When using multiple Slack integrations and one is used for Teamwork, the other one could not be deleted until every Teamwork stream has an empty Slack integration. (CLB-4124)
• Cannot get table names error after switch snowflake to QVD results. Changing destination types could cause issues in some situations. (CLB-4094)

Check our documentation for more details. (CLB-4406)
• [Vizlib Server for Qlik Cloud] Performance improvements when executing application reloads. We modified mechanism which is used to conduct reloads, when app reload is configured in a destination. This change will improve performance as reloads should no longer be queued. This change does not affect automation-based destinations. (CLB-4427)

4.13.1

2023-10-11

Resolved Issues

• Error "Socket has been disconnected" when writeback large data sets. On larger data sets we would experience disconnections. This is now fixed. (CLB-4415)

4.13.0

2023-09-12

New Features

• Vizlib Management Console - Logs Browser - Audit Logs.We introduced new type of logs that are collected by Vizlib Server called Audit Logs. Those logs are created every time something is changing in Vizlib Server's configuration. In addition they capture events like signing in or out, password change, server restart etc. Root admin access level is required to be able to see the logs.

  

  (CLB-2787)
• Vizlib Server - Logs Browser Improvements. To allow swifter troubleshooting, we enhanced the capabilities of the Logs Browser screen. It now also allows filtering logs by providing a custom time interval. Apart from that, the current search can be exported to CSV file, which may be helpful when sharing logs with our support or doing internal trouble-shooting across teams.

  

  (CLB-4316)
• Vizlib Server for Qlik SaaS on Windows.Until this point, in order to run Vizlib Server with Qlik SaaS, the tenant had to be configured with a docker container. Starting from this version we also provide a Windows installer, which might be more convenient for customers who are more accustomed to Windows environments. The new option to download is available from our User Portal.

  

  (CLB-3894)
• Vizlib Management Console - Shared access to security rules with VMC Admin level. With this feature Content Admins are allowed to share edit permission to security rules that grants VMC Admin level access to other Content Admins. It might be very handy when distributing responsibilities from individuals to whole teams.

• Vizlib Server for Qlik Cloud - Error when executing writeback. In version 4.11.1 there was a bug that could occur when executing writeback in context of Qlik SaaS. Enterprise Customers were not affected by it. (CLB-4350)

4.11.1

2023-07-05

New Features

• With Vizlib 4.11.1 you can configure Vizlib Server in such a way that it performs app reloads on rim nodes instead of Qlik central node. Fore information, see App Reloads On Rim Nodes.

  Important: This change requires Writeback Table and Input Form version 4.11.1.

  (CLB-4184)
• Add option to deactivate vmc_admin account. We added new possibility to disable inbuild login access to Vizlib Management Console. In order to do that, modify setup.xml file located in C:\Program Files\VizlibServer directory. You will need to add new environment variable entry -<env name="VIZLIB_VMC_USER_DISABLED" value="true" /> - to disable this setting, service restart will also be required. This change has no effect on logging by using Qlik's sessions. (CLB-4327)

4.11.0

2023-06-08

New Features

• Writeback Destinations - Limiting apps and sheets. When editing destinations they can be setup to only be accessible when connecting from published sheets. If a user tries to connect to it by duplicating a sheet, they will face connection error and Writeback Table / Input Form will be blocked. It is also possible to specify whitelist of applications that are allowed to connect. Applications that are not white-listed will be rejected when connecting to the destination.

  

  (CLB-3963)

4.9.0

2023-02-01

New Features

• Scheduled Task Destination Locking. This feature is useful in Writeback scenarios where an application used is being reloaded frequently by a Qlik Task on a scheduled basis - e.g. because data is fed from an external datastore every hour or even more often. The feature will automatically lock the Writeback Destination from being used by end users for the defined amount of time before the scheduled task starts. This prevents unexpected errors from being thrown when both the Writeback user and a QMC Task make an attempt to reload the same application.

  

  (CLB-3831)
• Enable SSL for postgres databases. We added new option to authenticate to Postgres database, either one used by Vizlib Server to store its configuration or another instance used to store your Teamwork comments or Writeback data. (CLB-3979)

They had to either have content admin permission, or the destination had to be created as a server root user. (CLB-4098)

4.8.3

2023-02-01

New Features

• 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. (CLB-4054)

4.8.1

2022-12-15

Resolved Issues

• Vizlib Server - health check module - extensions not able to connect to Vizlib Server. After upgrade to v4.8.0 for some customers Collaboration extensions reported an issue related with certificate, which was a false positive. We fixed this case. (CLB-4046)

  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.

  

  (CLB-3511)
• Writeback - Snowflake keypairs. New authentication option has been added to the Snowflake authentication. Now apart from the standard username and password model, you can also choose key pairs. (CLB-3860)
• [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. (CLB-3874)
• Improved connection error messages. With this change, it will be much easier to troubleshoot and figure out a solution, when your extension struggles to connect to the Vizlib Server. (CLB-3701)

4.7.3

2022-11-30

Resolved Issues

• Qlik Cloud - Writeback app reload does not work. Fix for a bug, that was introduced in version 4.7.0, which was preventing to trigger app reloads appropriately in Qlik Cloud. (CLB-4017)

4.7.1

2022-11-17

Resolved Issues

• 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. (CLB-3988)
• Writeback - Improvements to queue handling when multiple users write to the destination at the same time. New setting `Reload Buffer' is added to Locking section for Writeback Destinations of Insert mode. This setting allows multiple writeback requests to be gathered in one batch request improving overall usability of the table being used by multiple users at the same time. (CLB-3916)

2022-07-04

New Features

• (Enterprise Customers Only) [Writeback] Loop and Reduce - with loop values from source app dimension. In the initial version, when defining the Loop and Reduce tasks, users had to enter (or paste) loop values manually. It is now possible to select a dimension from which those values will be automatically fetched. This will be particularly useful when needing to loop through many values. (CLB-3292)
• (Enterprise Customers Only) [Server for SaaS] Cloud automations - API update after Qlik release. Recently Qlik has officially released the official version of the automations API, and some changes were required on our side. (CLB-3716)
• (Enterprise Customers Only) [Writeback] Destination time zone. This feature allows you to specify the time zone in which dates are going to be saved. The current implementation was assuming that all dates with time were written in GMT+0, which could cause issues for some users. A new setting allows you to specify that saved dates are saved according to the destination (e.g. Postgres database) time settings. The setting is available under Default Settings inside Vizlib Management Console and applies to all Destinations configured. (CLB-3348)

• (Enterprise Customers Only) Vizlib Log File consuming lots of space on disk. In some scenarios, log files generated by Vizlib Server were consuming a lot of space on a disk. We introduced a rotation mechanism that prevents this from happening. (CLB-3477)

• [VMC] Security Rules, creating new security rule can fail when there is a child group. When a child group was created, sometimes an error message with "validation error..." would show up. The validation message is now more user-friendly. (CLB-3031)
• [VMC] MS SQL Integration - instance name fix. Use of an instance name would break the connection to MS SQL Server. (CLB-3037)
• [Vizlib Server] Extension Server URL custom property in QMC is getting changed without any actions. There was an issue with using HTTP that could get changed to HTTPS. (CLB-3057)
