The servicerelease contains all components of QlikView, QlikView Server including all clients as well asQlikView Publisher.Cross-release compatibilityNo changes since the release of 10.00 IR build 8715.Environment compatibilityNo changes since the release of 10.00 IR build 8715.New functionalityA proxy page has been added to both QlikView Web Parts and QlikView Workbench in orderto help avoid cross-site scripting issues when the AccessPoint is located on a different machine than the website hosting the QlikView Objects.Support materialsNo changes since the release of 10.00 IR build 8715.Bug reportingAll bugs and comments on this release should be reported through our normal supportchannels, e.g. through a mail to support@qlikview.com.Backward compatibilityIn order to solve some highlighting text bugs, the use of GDI text rendering has been revisedand improved. This may lead to small pixel shifts that normally will not be noticeable, andmay affect any objects that use text rendering. Applications that have tightly packed textinformation may have to be re-aligned in order to adjust appearance.DocumentationAll Chinese and Russian documentation is in English. So is the Chinese installation package.The following information is missing from the Japanese server manual:Added section 19.6, Cold Standby Servers:1

QlikView 10.00“QlikView Server license keys can be installed on as many servers as required provided thatonly the licensed number of QlikView Servers are running at any given time. Thus, a coldstandby environment can be installed and ready-to-run, but cannot be live (that is, theWindows services cannot be started) and in use prior to the live environment being shutdown.”Added the following text in section 22.1, Setting up a Cluster, section 26.1, QlikViewDistribution Service, and section 26.2, Directory Service Connector:“Note! QlikView Server currently only conforms with Windows File Share or a Windowsbased NAS. This means that storage must be owned, governed, and shared by a Windowsoperating system instance (typically accessed using a path like \\ servername \ share ).”Added the following text in section 15.1, Setup, section 16.5, Supervision Accounts, andsection 27.3, Document Administrators:“Note! The System tab is unavailable for Document Administrators and Supervisors. Thismeans that they cannot access supporting tasks.”Added the following text in section 27.4, Configuration Files:“Note! Use QEMC to set the parameters described in this section, since modifying theconfiguration files directly may cause problems.”Known issuesMost known issues from 10.00 IR build 8715 have been removed. The following list containsthe issues that still apply.Clients, Presentation, Layout & Charts Background gradient does not work in IE8 with Ajax, but works as expected in IEplugin.Print and Send to Excel icons are missing in WebviewThe maximum memory settings for objects and expressions are no longer used andhave been removed from the user interface.The sort icon to use for interactive sort on Mobile Safari is very small and can be hardto hit.If you experience performance problems with Ajax in Internet Explorer 9, try to run incompatibility mode.WebView does not work if you have Internet Explorer 6 installed. WebView cannotbe used when opening server documents from the installed client.Macros will not function in WebView.2

QlikView 10.00 Import layout is not possible from Version 10 to Version 10. The functionality is keptfor backward compatibility with Version 9, but for Version 10, we recommend thatyou create a project directory adjacent to your QlikView file and then move / copy thefiles from that project directory if you want to copy layout from one document toanother.If you have previously installed the beta version of the plugin for Internet Explorer;you may get an error message stating "This version has expired" even if you haveinstalled the released version. You must uninstall the beta version of the plugin to getrid of this message.Starting with QlikView 9, you cannot have more than 100 levels of nesting in aQlikView document.The Server Objects Collaboration Icon has been removed in the Ajax client.All shared objects are now available through the Repository context menu command.Single-tap to make selections in charts and tables is inconsistent. Single-tap selectionswork in graphical charts and the pivot table but do not work in straight tables.Documentation & Localization 41220 “Document Bug: Explanation of fuzzy search is incorrect” was incorrectlyadded to the list of corrected bugs.SQLValueThis function has been removed from the software.ClientPlatform()Returns the name of the platform the client is using, for example, Mobile.iPhone.All mobile clients start with Mobile, a period sign and the type of mobile device.Clients using Ajax will return Browser.Nameofbrowser, for example Browser.Firefox.Note: The function will only return the client type for those clients using the QVPXprotocol, that is, the mobile clients and the Ajax client.QlikView Server, QlikView Publisher and Management Consoles The QlikView Server services are designed to run as local administrator. Running withan account that is not local administrator is an unsupported scenario.Running a clustered QlikView Server on non-windows NAS will not work.Document CAL limitations are not shown on the document. If you have set CAL limitations using the QlikView Enterprise Management Console, this will not be visible inthe information on the user document.Several users with simultaneous sessions of the Management Console may causeinstability of the Management Service.In version 10 Verbosity Low means that we log only Errors. Verbosity Mediummeans logging Error and Warning and High means logging Error, Warning andInformation.MSI Silent Install Documentation for QV 10 QVS Reference Manual is incorrectPlease contact QlikTech Support for specific documentation.Net 3.5 is no longer required to install QlikView Server 10. With SR3, the server canbe installed with only .Net 4 installed. However, the components still require .Net 3.53

QlikView 10.00to function. To fix this, install the .Net 3.5 files by adding them through the serverroles setup when the installation of QlikView Server 10 SR3 is complete.QlikView OCX WebView is not yet supported from the OCX even with local files. (31582)Visual Studio 2010 is unable to import QlikView OCX in projects that target .NETframework 4. For QlikView OCX to work with Visual Studio 2010, the project shouldtarget .NET framework 3.5 or earlier.Implementation Notes The security settings of Internet Explorer may prevent users from exporting data orsending data to Excel when using the plugin client. The workaround is to uncheck theEnable Protected Mode check box.In order to set up a secure connection to SMTP server in QEMC/QMC, set thefollowing parameter: add key "UseSSLForSMTP" value "true"/ in the QMSAND the QDS Config file.On older iOS versions (before 5.0) multiselect in listboxes and tables, and select ingraphs, will not work if the document is scrolled. In iOS 5 this works.Due to a limitation associated with using Microsoft’s COM objects we recommendthat you limit the number of QlikView Engines (QlikView Enterprise ManagementConsole Setup Distribution Services Advanced tab) to a maximum of 9 or thenumber of processor cores available on the host server, whichever is lower.You can now perform MAPPING loads directly from a .QVD file. There is no longera need to un-optimize the .QVD load while performing a MAPPING load. This hasbeen available in all releases of QlikView 10 but has not been documented.The default export format when exporting to Excel is now always text. If youexperience that exports from your application has changed, then you need to changethe format of those columns to some appropriate numeric format.Input fields are not compatible with joins or resident loads.The reason for this is that an input field must be read one time and one time only.Once the input field is read it is added to an inputfield table and this table cannot betampered with. Joins affect the table and for that reason input fields are disabled whencombined with joins. Resident works slightly differently but it also affects theinputfield table and it is disabled for the same reason.WebView may require elevated privileges in Windows Vista / Windows 7.With Small Business Edition, you are now able to create bookmarks on theserver despite the fact that Server Objects are disallowed by the license. You are notallowed to share them, though.The server installation is prepared for localization of the Ajax interface.The Ajax interface can be localized to a single language only (same language for allAjax clients) and the language can only be set by manually changing the settings.inifile for the server installation. Add the appropriate InterfaceLanguage under section[Settings 7].[Settings 7]InterfaceLanguage Swedish4
