What are the known limitations of the Qlik Sense Cloud connector?
Following are the known limitations of the Qlik Sense Cloud connector, related to lineage:
Lineage can be missing in the following scenarios:
- Data joins or concatenations made in the Data manager within a Qlik App.
- Calculated fields created in the Data manager within a Qlik App.
- Joins within QVD files.
Advanced usage
Atlan currently does not support upstream lineage for Qlik applications that use:
- other apps as sources
- datasets loaded from the file system via SMTP or RESTful web services
Due to limitations at source, Atlan does not get the requisite metadata to generate upstream lineage to data sources.
To learn more about lineage errors in general, refer to Qlik documentation.
Why is the count of charts in Atlan much higher than at source?
Atlan catalogs only charts that include fields. Charts without fields are not cataloged, which may result in a higher chart count in Atlan compared to the source. For more details, see What Atlan crawls from Qlik Sense Cloud.
