Cleaning up the directory

[datanibbler]

Hi,

in our company deployment, we have an Access_Point defined which many people are, going forward, going to use to access QlikView documents via their browser - that's my current understanding of the matter, I'm not into it yet. Currently, they see about 150 documents, only a part of which are qvw's - the rest are text files, .pgo files and whatelse - and of these, only three or four are operative.

Can anybody tell me which of these "Shared"_files and such I can delete without breaking anything and how I should handle the rest?`Is there a way to set QlikView to store the automated safety_backups in another directory (those "Version_x_of_[filename]" qvw's)?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

.Shared files are used to store shared objects or bookmarks that are created by acess point users and meta file is having metadata information. You can use batch script to take backup on regular basis.

Hi Karthikeyan,

can I somehow set QlikView to not create these files regularly?

Unfortunately, I cannot use batch files, I don't have admin rights on my laptop, it is centrally administered.

Can I somehow change the directory where QlikView stores the automatically generated backups (that I can set on the "saving" tab of the user_settings dialog?

Thanks a lot!
