Publisher can now handle more simultaneous tasks and more nodes, with better performance
and stability.
In QlikView 12.10, support has been added for:
Software and applications: MS Office 2016, MS SharePoint 2016, MS SQL Server 2016.
MS Windows Server 2016.

Operating system: iOS10.
Full System requirements can be found here: System Requirements.

NEW FEATURES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE


Improved QlikView Server clustering and scaling

Improved Shared file caching significantly improves response times in high-load situations to a
specific document.
New PGO file offline mode. This improves access to PGO files for high-load scenarios in QVS
clusters that have many concurrent users in the system. This will allow for scaling to more
nodes and more concurrent users.
Improved ramp-up capacity. Significantly more users per second can now enter a cluster during
peak hours.

Unbalanced QVS clustering

With the release of QlikView 12.10, a QlikView Server cluster can now manage nodes of different
sizes with respect to CPU, RAM, and number of cores. See Unbalanced QVS Clustering for
detailed information.

Performance and scalability in AccessPoint


QlikView 12.10 improves caching in QlikView AccessPoint. This feature significantly decreases response
times when scaling to a large number of documents and/or users.

Publisher load balancer


QlikView 12.10 adds the concept of publisher groups and regular and dedicated tasks for load balancing
purposes. A publisher group is a subset of a QDS cluster. Each publisher group is given a unique name,
and the set of QDS nodes (one or more) can be configured. For more information, see Clustering
QlikView Distribution Service. The main features are:
Adds configurations that allow for certain tasks to be designated to particular nodes within a QDS
cluster to improve handling of resource-demanding tasks and utilize nodes of different sizes and
capacity.
Adds overload protection with a new Queued status for tasks that are not able to start due to
overload. For a list of QMC task statuses, see Tasks.

Publisher high-load support


QlikView 12.10 optimizes the inter-service communication in high-load situations. This will improve
stability and performance in situations with many concurrent tasks and high-frequency changes. This
results in the following improvements:
Adds a reliable means of monitoring task progress that is not tied to a system value such as
LastWriteTime.
Breaks down the single notification entity into smaller entities to improve the notification
architecture related to task execution, upgrade the tasks flow, and remove bottlenecks.
Implements a graceful retry for tasks that fail due to timeout when the system is under load.
Introduces configurations that allow high-demand files to be moved to SSD nodes within a
configuration.

Expanded QMS API


In QlikView 12.10, the functionality of the QMS API has been expanded with additional methods and
new API calls.

A number of API calls have been added to QlikView 12.10, most of which are related to QDS load
balancing. The calls enable users to check whether they have any distribution groups set up and get
the associated definitions, and check whether the QDS load balancing configurations have any
errors.
The new QDS load balancing calls are as follows:
GetAllDistributionGroups
GetAllMissingDistributionGroups
GetDistributionGroups
GetDistributionGroupsDefinition
HasAnyDistributionGroups
IsQdsLoadbalancerConfigured
QdsLoadBalancerConfigHasErrors
There are two other new API calls:
GetQMSVersion. Returns the QMS version (Major.Minor.Patch).
GetTemplateFolderId. Returns the ID of the template folder.

QDS shutdown improvement


You can now allow running tasks to finish before shutting the QDS service down. While the QDS is
shutting down, new tasks cannot be started. The shutdown is initiated in the QMC by pressing the
shutdown button. The grace time given to tasks can specified in the QDS.exe.config by using the
ServiceStopGracetimeInSeconds configuration parameter. By default, the QDS shutdown waits 1800
seconds.

SAP HANA access with single sign-on


QlikView can now be configured for single sign-on access to SAP HANA, see Configuring SAP HANA for
SAML Single Sign-On with QlikView.

KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS RELEASE:

NPrinting 17.x and QlikView 12.10 compatibility


Due to an outstanding compatibility issue between NPrinting 17.x and QlikView 12.10, we recommend
that customers using both products wait for QlikView 12.10 SR1 to upgrade their QlikView environment.

OTHER CHANGES INCLUDED IN THIS RELEASE:

Named CAL quarantine period increased


The quarantine period for a named CAL is increased from 24 hours to 7 days.

Changed behavior in QlikView 12.10 scripts:


-

Changed error handling when mapping tables

During reload, when using the script function ApplyMap, if there is an attempt to map tables that are not
valid mapping references, the reload will now fail. Previously, unsuccessful ApplyMap statements would
be ignored and the reload would complete successfully. The new behavior will let users know if the script
is failing to apply a map as it was expected from the script. If the ApplyMap is unnecessary it can be
removed or commented out.
-

Windows UNC syntax and URL syntax cannot be mixed

From version 12.10, Windows UNC syntax and URL syntax cannot be mixed in the same path. In version
12.00 this was possible, but could lead to ambiguous interpretations.
Examples of syntax that is not allowed:
\\path withSpace x\filename%20withSpace.xxx
File:\\path withSpace\filename%20withSpace.xxx
Examples of allowed syntax:
\\path withSpace\filename withSpace.xxx
File:\\path%20withSpace\filename%20withSpace.xxx

FileList and DirList

The FileList and DirList options of the for each..next command have changed behavior. They now return
a corrected path if the user sends in a malformed path.

SECURITY CONFIGURATION: RECOMMENDATION


Header injection protection
Since QlikView 12.00 SR5, protection against header injection attacks has been available. It is a QlikView
Web Server feature, but is disabled by default. To enable it, change the value of the
EnableHeaderChecking configuration option in QVWebServer.exe.config to TRUE. This configuration file
can be found in ProgramData/QlikTech/WebServer.
