Generic OAuth redirect URIs for agentic IDEs

You can now configure OAuth clients of type Native with redirect URLs that use prefixes other than http:// and https://. This enables broader, more flexible integration with OAuth clients such as AI-powered IDEs, including Cursor and Kiro.

Tenant Admins can configure these OAuth clients in Administration > OAuth.

View Direct Access gateway benchmark results in Administration activity center

Direct Access gateway now surfaces benchmark test results directly in the Administration activity center, giving administrators more transparency into gateway performance without needing to dig through log files.

Benchmark tests are diagnostic operations that measure network connectivity and performance between the Direct Access gateway and Qlik Cloud. Use them to troubleshoot reload performance, establish performance baselines, or compare gateways.

You can now view the results of these benchmark runs directly in the Administration activity center, making it easier to identify network conditions that affect reload performance and to gather the information you need for troubleshooting — without leaving the admin experience.

To use this functionality, you need Direct Access gateway version 1.7.17.

For more information, see Viewing and running benchmark tests.

Run automations from your AI assistant

You can now find and run automations from Qlik Automate directly from your preferred GenAI platform using the Qlik MCP server.

Ask your assistant to list available automations, inspect the inputs an automation expects, and run it by passing values inline. If an automation prompts for input during a run, your assistant can handle the back-and-forth interactively, collecting your responses and submitting them without you leaving the conversation.

You can also check run status, view output, and stop a run when needed.

For more information, see Qlik MCP tools.

Flexible scheduling for automations

Automations can now be scheduled using the same recurrence options available for app reload scheduling, making it easier to run automations exactly when you need them.

Previously, automation schedules were limited to a start date, an end date, and a fixed recurrence interval. Anything more specific, such as running only on weekdays, had to be built into the automation logic itself using condition blocks.

With this update, you can now schedule automations to run at frequencies including:

• Weekly, monthly, or yearly, and not just at fixed intervals
• On specific days of the week or month
• On recurring patterns such as the last day of every month
• Multiple times per day within a defined time window
• Between a start time and end time each day until a defined end date

For more information, see Working with automation scheduling

Programmatically manage your organization’s automations, without transferring ownership

Trusted OAuth machine-to-machine (M2M) bot users can now back up, audit, migrate, and manage automations across a tenant programmatically with the admin.automations scope, including ones owned by other users - without having to temporarily transfer ownership first.

This builds on the admin.apps scope which already provides access to private application content for these administrative and programmatic use cases.

For more information, see the Qlik Developer portal change log.

Introducing change management for lake landing replication tasks

Store changes settings are now available for lake landing replication tasks in a dedicated Store changes tab. With these new capabilities, lake landing replication functionality further bridges the gap with standard replication functionality, enabling consistent change management across replication task types.

Key features include:

• Change Table capture: Automatically store INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations from the source in Change Tables on the target platform for incremental downstream processing.
• DDL handling options: Choose whether to automatically apply schema changes from the source to Change Tables or ignore DDL modifications to maintain fixed table structures.
• Configurable storage: Select whether to capture both before and after image data on updates, and customize Change Table naming conventions with configurable suffixes and header column prefixes.
• Header column management: Exclude specific system metadata columns from Change Tables to reduce storage requirements, or keep all header columns for complete audit information.
• Flexible full load behavior: Determine how existing Change Tables are handled when a full load starts—DROP and CREATE, delete old changes only, or keep all historical changes.
• Reorganized settings: Change Data Partitioning settings have moved from the General tab to the new Store changes tab for better organization and usability.

Qlik Trust Score™ forensic for Data products

Data products Qlik Trust Score™ drill down now gives you a deeper, more actionable view of trust and quality.

What’s new

A new Quality tab inside each data product gives you forensic-level visibility into your composite Qlik Trust Score™, so you can see not just where the score sits today, but what's moving it and which datasets are driving the change.

From the Quality tab you can follow the score from headline number all the way to root cause, layer by layer.

Why this matters

Data product owners can now pinpoint exactly what's impacting their trust score and why, getting to root cause in just a few clicks without leaving the data product. That transparency enables the Qlik Trust Score™ to be a truly explainable signal consumers can rely on, and producers can act on.

Business glossary context for Qlik Answers application analysis

Qlik Answers now uses linked business glossary definitions and synonyms when indexing application master items, improving semantic matching and consistency across terminology used in user questions.

Glossary definitions are evaluated at indexing time. If glossary definitions are updated after indexing, reindex the application to apply the changes. Only glossary terms in Verified state are considered.

Application script lifecycle tools for Qlik MCP server

New Qlik MCP tools support the application and script lifecycle from your LLM client. You can create an application, inspect and update its load script, run a reload, and verify the results from status and logs. These tools support both guided authoring and automated workflows.

The new tools let you:

• Create applications and generate or retrieve script content.
• Retrieve, replace, and patch the application load script.
• Trigger, monitor, and cancel reloads, and retrieve reload logs.
• Inspect the resulting application data model.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.16)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.16 introduces both new and enhanced features, and resolves several issues. For upgrade instructions and a list of resolved issues, see Upgrading the Direct Access gateway installation

Chunks recovery can be disabled per connection

You can now disable chunks recovery for specific connectors, providing more granular control over reload resilience and performance. This setting overrides the global chunks recovery configuration and can be configured directly in the connector settings or via the Public API.

For configuration details, see Disabling chunks recovery per connection.

Canada region support

Direct Access gateway now supports deployment in the Canada region, expanding availability for customers with data residency requirements.

Improved reload stream throughput

Reload stream throughput has been improved through optimization of thread pool management, WebSocket protocol handling, and adaptive pacing. These improvements are automatic and require no configuration.

File Connector custom file extension support

The File Connector now allows you to configure custom file extensions beyond the default supported types. Configure allowed extensions through the gateway settings or by editing the extension configuration file.

For configuration details, see Allowing custom extensions.

Advanced expressions and conditional branching in validation rules

You can now define advanced data quality checks with expressions using Qlik script syntax, directly from the rule builder. Rules also now support multiple conditions with else if for branching logic, all without leaving the guided user interface.

What’s available

Arithmetic operands: Use +, -, *, /, and modulo between field references and literals on either side of a validation operator. For example: fieldA + fieldB = fieldC, fieldX - 100 > 0.

Typed function operands (string and number functions): Reference functions including Len, Trim, Left, Right, Mid, IsText, IsNum, Floor as operands in any rule condition.

Parenthesised sub expressions: Control evaluation order with parentheses. For example: (fieldA + fieldB) * 0.8 = fieldC.

Users also benefit from inline expression validation with actionable error feedback before the rule is saved.
