QMC Utilities 3.1.0 Release Notes
3.1.0 is mostly a bug fix release for certain plugins packaged with the installer, but the minor version change is a result of some additional updates detailed below. First, the core and plugin updates.
Core Updates
-
devMode - Dev Mode is a flag in the config.js of QMC Utilities that turns off the Qlik Sense authentication middleware in QMC Utilities and relies upon service accounts and certificate authentication to perform operations. Great for testing!
-
support for Enigma.js based plugins - A section added to config.js to handle enigma.js usage in plugins.
Plugin Updates
AppObjectApprover Updates
- Fixed an issue with a conditional statement that prevented any object except bookmarks from being approved.
- Added support for devMode.
RuleManager Updates
- Fixed an issue where Rule Manager created two entries for each imported rule.
- Fixed an issue where Rule Manager would not import rules previously deleted that shared the same GUID.
- Added support for devMode.
AppMover Updates
- Resolved an issue where AppMover was not loading source apps properly.
- Added support for devMode
All Other Plugins
- Added support for devMode.
Big News!
This will be the last QMC Utilities installer to include plugins. We are making a decision to move away from making a bundled installer including utilities because we will be releasing guidelines for creating your own plugins in the near future.
We will continue to package the QMC Utilities framework into an installer, however, plugins will be installed either through a package management system post install or manually by pulling zip files from the individual plugin repositories. The goal here is to reduce the time it takes to supply bug fixes to plugins and to encourage plugin development.
More information will be shared as well as guidelines on contributing soon. Thank you to everyone for your support on this project.
3.0.3
QMC Utilities 3.0.3 Release Notes
Addressed an issue where the redirect to the auth stub page was pointing to the wrong url.
QMC Utilities 3.0.2 Release Notes
Adds node_modules folders back into plugin directories to support package specific versions of modules for certain plugins.
QMC Utilities 3.0.1 Release Notes
Addresses an issue where socket.io was not running in App Meta Fetcher plugin.
QMC Utilities 3.0.0 Release Notes
Really Important Changes
- QMC Utilities is accessible through
https://servername:9945/[virtual proxy]/qmcu/. The forward slash after the qmcu is very important. Don't ignore it or QMC Utilities may not render the home page. - QMC Utilities now uses Qlik Sense authentication to validate user access to the powertool. This will control the data that users see in each of the plugins. Future releases will have more robust control to show / hide plugins based on the user.
- A stub page to facilitate authentication is added to the default content library during QMCU installation. It is required to access QMCU.
- QMC Utilities needs to be installed using the same account Qlik Sense was installed with. The installer makes calls to the repository and requires a valid QlikClient certificate in the current user\personal certificate store.
If the QMCULogin.html upload fails during the installation, the file can be added to the default content library manually through the QMC. The file is located in the root QMCUtilities folder.
Other Updates
- Disable a plugin by adding a "disabled": true property to the manifest.json file in the plugin folder you wish to disable.
- New menu system available by clicking on the powertools logo in the upper left hand corner.
Plugins:
App Meta Fetcher: App Meta Fetcher works with the Governed Metrics Application from the Governed Metrics Service to collect information from the applications in a Qlik Sense site and make their metadata available for analysis.
RealQMC: Embeds the Qlik Sense Management Console (QMC) from QMC Utilities! And because logging into QMCU is now the same as logging into QMC all security is enforced!

2.0.2
This is a point release before our next big release targeted for end of feb.
In this release we are fixing some bugs related to the installer, and freshening up some of the node modules the plugins depend on to work properly. As a sweetener, we have added App Meta Fetcher which works with the [Governed Metrics Service}(https://github.com/eapowertools/GovernedMetricsService) to populate information related to master library items into an app for analysis purposes, and we have changed Sheet Approver to be App Object Approver. Now it is possible to approve sheets, and publish and approve bookmarks from the QMC Utilities interface.
Even though we are planning an update for the end of the month, we do encourage you to download and install 2.0.2.
2.0.1
Fixes an issue with the batch file that installs the powertools service dispatcher service in windows.
2.0.0
QMC Utilities 2.0.0 Release Notes
QMC Utilities Core updates:
We added some additional libraries to the core QMC Utilities menu system to support searchable drop down lists.
Plugins:
Two new plugins added to QMC Utilities bundled installer:
App Mover: From a single interface, export apps from one Qlik Sense site to another. There is some manual configuration here that will be documented.
Source Control Assistant: SC-Lite as it is called allows for "backing" up Qlik Sense apps to serialized JSON and then restoring the serialized JSON back into an app for a selected user. There is no direct source control integration with this tool, but it provides the output for apps to be checked-in to a source control system.
QMC Utilities now runs using the Powertools Service Dispatcher service! In an effort to prevent Powertools from not working after a Qlik Sense software upgrade, Powertools are going to start running under their own service dispatcher instead of the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher. The Powertools Service Dispatcher works almost identically to the Qlik Sense Service Dispatcher except that the PSD includes logging, and when Qlik Sense is upgraded the entries in the services.conf file won't get deleted!
Bug fixes
A bug in Rule Manager was fixed where a deleted rule could not be re-imported. The rule will not be imported, but will have a different ID because the Qlik Sense repository maintains a list of deleted IDs. The original ID is added to the seedId property when this issue occurs.
1.0.0.3
Resolves an issue with importing rules from one system to another where tags are set on the exported rule. The rule-manager plugin import process will now strip tags from uploaded rules.
Other miscellaneous bug fixes include:
rule-manager export window now activates colors when hovering over rows and when hovering over resources that are truncated a pop-up shows the full resource set for the rule.
Initial Release: Take 3
They say that by version three of something it's working well. For us, we believe it's version 1.0.0.2 but the third take of an initial release!
Thanks for your patience and support.
