Connector Factory – August & September 2024 Releases

For August & September 2024, Connector Factory has released more connectors for data integration, data analytics and application automation.

Qlik™ Talend Data Integration

Additional Qlik™ Talend Cloud application connectors

Qlik™ is continuing to expand the connectivity of Qlik™ Talend Cloud with the addition of more insurance and security-related applications that can now be used as a data source. By eliminating the need to develop custom connectors to access these sources, these connectors will help companies streamline their insurance workflows and accelerate their ability to fully assess security risks & compliance. The new connectors are for:

  • AWS Security Hub
  • Guidewire BillingCenter
  • Guidewire ClaimCenter
  • Guidewire InsuranceNow
  • Guidewire PolicyCenter
  • Invicti
  • LevelBlue USM Anywhere (formerly Alienvault)
  • Microsoft InTune
  • Sophos

Support for key pair authentication with Snowflake

Qlik™ Talend Cloud now provides support for key pair authentication when connecting with Snowflake. Using key pair authentication provides enhanced security versus basic authentication, such as username and password. This key pair approach is recommended for workloads such as data loading (replication or landing tasks) and transformations.

Qlik™ Analytics

New version of Direct Access gateway

The Qlik™ Data Gateway – Direct Access allows Qlik Sense™ SaaS applications to securely access behind-the-firewall data, over a strictly outbound, encrypted, and mutually authenticated connection. The Direct Access gateway 1.6.8 has just been released which, in addition to several bug fixes, introduced the following enhancements:

  • Support for sending missing or corrupted data chunks;
  • Removes the requirement for .NET 6.0.x. New customers should install .NET 4.8 (needed for the installation) as well as .NET 8.0 and ASP.NET Core Runtime;
  • Improved batch operations for dependent processes by checking them in parallel instead of sequentially;

Improved troubleshooting by adding more context to the resource usage warnings in the logs.
