Vizlib Server - Changelog

• [CLB-4238]: Vizlib Server - Not possible to put a reverse proxy URL in Extension server URL field

• [CLB-4214]: Vizlib Server for Qlik Cloud - Failed to get the API key error message (403) when logging in to Vizlib Management Console

• [CLB-3998]: Snowflake integration form invalidation bug
• [CLB-4084]: Validation fixes for creating SQL Integrations when using connection string option
• [CLB-4022]: Teamwork: Changes made to workflows are not persisted

• [CLB-4207]: Snowflake - Timeout setting
  We added new setting for Snowflake Integrations to adjust the timeout value when connecting to Snowflake API. This will help some users to establish connection when using slower networks.
  
  - [CLB-4208]: Postgres SSL certs paths are not exported in config

• [CLB-4139]: Vizlib Server: Issues with Writeback destinations screen after upgrade from 4.8.x

• [CLB-4121]: Vizlib Management Console - Destinations are not loading after upgrading to v4.9.0

•  [CLB-3831]: 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-3979]: 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-4041]: Vizlib Server - Extension server URL changed automatically after server restart
  The extension server URL would change automatically after restart of Vizlib Server. That is fixed and we also improved the logging to be able to better track similar issues.
  
   
•  [CLB-4043]: Qlik Cloud - Oauth window issue
  The Oauth window will now appear only once during user session lifetime. (Previously it could pop up multiple times.)
  
   
•  [CLB-4089]: Cloud - Destinations are not shown
  In some cases destinations were not loaded and shown in the extension.
  
   
•  [CLB-4098]: Qlik Cloud - wrong API key used when Qlik user has a root admin role.
  There was an issue that users with root admin role wasn't able to connect to Writeback Destinations created by them. They had to either have content admin permission, or the destination had to be created as a server root user.

Easily integrate with various APIs and build sophisticated conditions based on the payload structure.

Bug Fixes (Enterprise Version Only):

• [CLB-3721]: [VMC] - Finance Report Schedules - unable to create new reports or edit existing ones 

  Version 4.3.0 had a defect that prevented new finance report schedules from being created. It was also not possible to edit existing ones.

New Features (Collaboration Enterprise Customers Only): 

• [CLB-3292]: [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-3348]: [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.

  We added several smaller improvements to the installer, including better port number validation, check for provided password strength, and link updates.
