In Qlikview is it posible to change the Datasource from one to another

Hello to everybody,

I am new to qlikview, i want some knowledge on this.
My query is ,if somebody has created a QVW with the help of one Server let's say Server1 (Datasource) and then after developing the QVW
he/she wants to change the datasource of the same QVW to another lets say (Server2). Whether is it posible ?
if yes then how it would be done and how feasible it would be.

Please share some valuable points, so that it will be helpful.
Thank you so much in advance.

you can use disconnect for close one connection and access another connection or open another connection.

so you can use extract data from multiple data source in single application.

Hi,

For this you can use the Flags variables to open or close the connection and use the tables from there.

Just select datasource by flag so at a time you have a connection to laod data.

Hi,

we had a near problem. I share some of my qvw files to a co-worker. I develop and the co-worker use  it.

But he need a different ODBC connection String and i don't want to change it again and again.

So i have stored the connection String in a text file in the same directory and the script include it with

$(include=ODBC Connection.txt)

Now a copy only the qvw file and the connection string is always correct.
