QlikView November 2017 SR5 Release notes What s new in QlikView November 2017 SR5 QlikView November 2017 SR5 includes the following updates: Change in the setting for Cleaning trigger records in Trigger_guid.xml The hidden setting TriggerStatesKeepTimeInHours has been added to the QVDistributionService.exe.config file located in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service. It replaces the setting called TriggerStatesKeepTime. This setting allows you to decide after how many hours old entries in recorded in Trigger_guid.xml files are deleted. By default, TriggerStatesKeepTimeInHours deletes entries older than 24 hours. Trigger_guid.xml files record entries for each task execution, and are stored in: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Triggers. TriggerStatesKeepTimeInHours helps lowering the size of Trigger_guid.xml files, which can grow to MBs, especially when tasks are run frequently.

Change Notes sharing settings for AJAX clients For AJAX clients, it is now possible to change the default value for who is allowed to see a note connected to an object. To change the sharing settings, you must modify the following entry in the settings.ini file: NoteSharingDefaultAccess=0 Only the creator can see the note. NoteSharingDefaultAccess=1 The note visibility is set to public and anyone can see the object (Default setting). NoteSharingDefaultAccess=2 Visibility is restricted to specific users. New procedure for changing time-out setting for QlikView Server From QlikView November 2017, the procedure for modifying time-out setting for QlikView Server has changed. To set a time-out period different from the default settings of 60 seconds, you must modify the QVWebServer.exe.config file by adding the setting SocketTimeOutInSeconds followed by the desired time-out period. The QVWebServer.exe.config file is located in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\Web Server. The previous time-out setting QvsTimeout, located in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer\Config.xml, is no longer applicable. If you had previously modified QvsTimeout to apply a custom time-out period, you must set the same value for SocketTimeOutInSeconds in the QVWebServer.exe.config file.
