Upgrading from
QVSource to
Qlik Web Connectors is quite easy, but there are some things to be aware of:
- If you're using Klout or Google AdWords do not do an in-place upgrade, i.e. unzip and replace your existing QVSource files. Klout and Google AdWords are unfortunately not included in the Qlik Web Connectors 2.0.0 release, but will be added in an upcoming release.
- If you're using any beta connectors, do not do an in-pace upgrade. Beta connectors are not included in the Qlik Web Connectors 2.0.0 release
