Qlik Sense OCF Connector: Version 1.4.0¶
Enhancements¶
Enhanced Metadata Extraction and Lineage Data¶
Improved Metadata Extraction The QlikSense OCF connector now extracts detailed metadata for streams, apps, sheets, sheet objects, tables,table columns, datasets (QVDs/Excel/RDBMS), dataset columns, and master items using a redesigned object-mapping model.
Improved Lineage Extraction The connector now provides a complete in-Qlik lineage by integrating with both the Qlik Engine APIs and the Qlik Cloud Lineage APIs (this requires additional settings, refer to QlikSense OCF Connector for more information). All lineage within the Qlik ecosystem is now derived using the updated Qlik Cloud lineage graph and Engine APIs, ensuring accurate mapping between Qlik tables, datasets, and sheet-level objects.
