Data Connections

Hi,

I am new to QlikSense. Can you provide insights/documentation on data connections in QlikSense?

like ways to include them in the script (also whether they can be stored in external files as with qlikview, include), moving apps between dev to QA to prod (then what happens to connections), best practices, apart from the theory, how the data connections are done and maintained in real time projects etc.

Hi, what we do is restrict the data connection creation to all dev teams and we have a template QS file where we create by demand every connection. That way you can assure that only the connections that are created are safe and wanted. In regards managing different environments, we do exctly tha same, with the template data conn we can manage the connections as we want. Don't know if it's the best way but it works to us.

Hope it helps,

Andrés

See my other post on moving apps from one environment to another.

As far as Data Connections go I create one in each environment with the same name.  They can point to different data sources.  But as long as the name is the same the script will work in either.
