Qlik Cloud Release Notes

February 19, 2026

New script and chart functions

Five new functions are available in the Qlik analytics engine, helping to simplify load scripts and align to common functions present in other popular languages.
These functions can be used in load scripts and chart expressions.

• Quarter: Return the quarter of a date as an integer between 1 and 4.
  • quarter Script and chart function
• MakeGeoPoint: Validate geographic data in JSON and confirm the data is an array with two numbers.
  • MakeGeoPoint Script and chart function
• MakeGeoLine: Validate geographic data in JSON and confirm the data is an array with points.
  • MakeGeoLine Script and chart function
• MakeGeoPolygon: Validate geographic data in JSON and confirm the data is an array with lines.
  • MakeGeoPolygon Script and chart function
• MakeGeoRegion: Validate geographic data in JSON and confirm the data is an array with polygons.
  • MakeGeoRegion Script and chart function

Some functionality may be rolled out in phases and not immediately available in all regions.

Spot potential bias during training with Qlik Predict

Qlik Predict now surfaces bias signals during model training so you can identify data and feature patterns that may lead to unfair or unreliable predictions, before you deploy your model.

Choose which features to evaluate, then review clear flags and metrics directly in the training summary. Insights include signals such as imbalanced groups and potential proxy features, helping you validate whether a feature may be acting as a stand-in for sensitive attributes.

Qlik Predict bias detection does not automatically modify your data, features, or model. It only reports detected signals, so you can decide what action—if any—to take before deployment.

Now in Qlik Cloud Government: Dynamic reload engines for all reloads

All reloads, including those triggered from the script editor, now receive their own dedicated engine during processing. This enhancement applies to both small and large apps, providing a more consistent and predictable experience for all users, particularly app developers.

Manual compute environment selection for applications

Qlik Cloud now lets you define a minimum dedicated compute environment size for analytics applications, giving you greater control over performance for large or compute-intensive apps.

While Qlik continues to automatically place applications on the best available engine, you can now override placement by setting a minimum engine size to ensure consistent CPU and memory resources when needed. This is ideal for complex visualizations, performance tuning, and critical business applications.

Use the app performance evaluation tool to compare application responsiveness across engine sizes and validate whether larger engines deliver measurable performance improvements.

Manual assignments consume Large app capacity and are currently supported via API.

More control. Predictable performance. Enterprise-ready scalability.

New Direct Access gateway version (1.7.11)

Direct Access gateway 1.7.11 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

ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connector enhancements

Newly exposed configuration settings

The following settings, which previously could only be figured by manually editing a configuration file have now been exposed in the Gateway settings for dialog:

• Allowing only specific DSNs
• Allowing only specific drivers
• Custom data type mapping
• Support for delimiting table names

Some data sources require table names with upper case letters or special characters to be delimited in the load script. Otherwise, an error will occur. The new Delimit table names option eliminates the need to manually add delimiters to the load script when loading or previewing data.

For details, see Create an ODBC (via Direct Access gateway) connection.

Exposing the parameter for getting detailed error messages when using ODBC sources

Due to security concerns, the default error message returned by the ODBC driver contains minimal information. However, in certain scenarios, you might need more information to troubleshoot a specific issue. Previously this required adding the ShowErrorDetailMessage property to the Advanced section in the connector dialog and setting it to True. Now, you can select the Show detailed error message check box in the Gateway settings dialog.

For details, see Show detailed error message.

Support for changing the process isolation settings without restarting the gateway service

In previous versions, any changes to process isolation settings such as increasing the number of processes during a reload required the gateway service to be restarted. Now, changes to these settings will be applied without needing to restart the gateway service.

Logging improvements

• Reduced excessive logging when AGENT_LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG and AGENT_LOG_OPTIONS are not set.
• The connector-agent logs for file connector reloads now show the actual AppId instead of AppId=dummyDocId.

Enhanced async command support

Async command support increases efficiency by enabling Direct Access gateway to handle multiple commands (requests) simultaneously, as opposed to one at a time. In the past, when the destination command pod on Qlik Cloud was not available to handle a request, Direct Access gateway would continue sending the request to the same pod instead of failing. This would cause the command to fail after 10 attempts, with a generic error instead of pointing to the actual cause of the failure.

Qlik telemetry

A UserAgent header has been added to all connector-agent command responses (via HTTP POST). This will improve tagging of Direct access gateway usage in Qlik telemetry.

Header format:
qlik-direct-access-gateway/version

Example:
qlik-direct-access-gateway/1.7.10

Qlik MCP server

Use trusted Qlik data directly in your favorite AI tools (such as Claude and ChatGPT) — with the same governance and Section Access you use today.
Your AI can now find the right application and data in your tenant, then let Qlik handle the calculations in engine so responses stay grounded in your trusted data.
Qlik MCP server is supported for Qlik Cloud Government and Qlik Cloud Government - DoD.

To get started (Tenant Admin required for first connection):

• Go to Administration > Settings.
• Turn on Cross-region data processing under AI Features in Qlik.
• Follow the setup guide in Deploying and administering Qlik MCP server.

Introducing our new Kafka target connector: Seamless data replication at your fingertips!

Unlock the power of real-time data integration with our Kafka target connector. Effortlessly replicate your data from any supported source directly into on-premises Apache Kafka or Amazon MSK, ensuring reliable, fault-tolerant transfers that keep your applications agile and informed. Whether you're maintaining data consistency across systems or fueling analytics, this connector delivers low-latency replication with minimal setup.

Replicating to Kafka on-premises requires Data Movement gateway 2025.5.40 or later. Replicating to Amazon MSK only requires Data Movement gateway 2025.5.40 or later if it cannot be accessed directly from Qlik Cloud (for example, if it's located in a VPC).
