Release of Komment™ 2.5

New release of Komment™

We have released a new version of Komment™ which has some important enhancements to the governance setup.

‍

Export and import of Kapsules

It has been in high demand to let users on the Kaptain admin console better manage the Kapsules holding the saved data. This is in particular true for the situations where you want to move Qlik Sense apps between environments (test, val, prod. etc.). In the latest version it is now possible to:

• Export the structure of a Kapsule
• Import a new Kapsule (structure only)
• Replace Kapsule with previously exported Kapsule (structure only)

These features in the Kaptain admin console make it much easier to deploy Qlik Sense apps that use Komment to multiple Qlik environments.

Support for several new databases

As more and more clients are using Komment, the need for storage in different databases is a natural development. With this release we have added three new databases to the list of supported DBs. So in total we now support the following:

• MongoDB
• MS SQL
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL
• Oracle DB

Next on the list is Snowflake ❄️

One version of the truth

Up until version 2.4, data was always stored in MongoDB when using Kaptain as a data connection. Also in the cases where MS SQL was used as an external DB. However, we have now removed the need for transports. When you select one of the supported DBs, data will only be stored in this instance and not in MongoDB. However, you can naturally still choose to use MongoDB as the source as it is built into Kaptain. So there is no requirement to have an external DB for the saved data.

While data will now only reside in one DB, you can still view the saved data via the Kaptain Admin console. So no need for direct access to the external DB when you just want to view the saved data.

UI enhancements

It is fair to say this this update is not exactly focused on eye candy - we will make up for that in coming versions 🤝. However, one small improvement is that it is now possible to enable a Total row for the Number widget.

‍

Remember that Komment™ is still working with any Qlik Sense license types. Still working on Qlik SaaS editions. And still the best performing writeback solution on the market!
