Is AccessPoint part of QV Publisher

Hi all,

I am reading the QVS manual for v9 and it refers to 'http service, AccessPoint Service and Web site have been merged into ...Qlikview Web Server QVWS'.

I had thought AccessPoint was just when the install included a publisher licene and us mere mortals still needed to use create our own pages with links to the documents.

Can anyone clarify for me please?

Thanks!

Gordon

Until ver 8.5, QVS had it's own users portal (http://server/qlikview) and Publisher was giving you an additional user portal named Access Point (http://server/Accesspoint).
With ver 9 Access Point and QlikView portal have been mergend in a single portal named Access Point that is reachable with http://server/qlikview url, this because Publisher installation has been merged with QVS installation and Publisher standard (free) is installed by default.
Hope help, Regards.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate the help. I can now reach the accesspoint and see the documents.

I changed IIS Manager to allow asp but I dont know if I needed to do so as by default the QV Web Server is used instead of IIS - but how can I check?

If you've done a typical installation you're using QV webserver, for use IIS you've to do custom installation and follow QVs manual for additional configuration, bye

Hi Gordon,

In QV9 it is a choice of QV web server or Microsoft IIS. This means that if you have QVWS running you don't need IIS to be running as well. If you have both running then you will find that both of these services will fight for port 80 upon bootup. At the moment you may be lucky and QVWS got the port before IIS did, however if you're not careful you find your AccessPoint not functioning as one day IIS may block the QVWS.

Both web servers require the .Net framework, but QVWS manages this itself and it is separate from anything in IIS. If you dont have any other websites that rely on IIS, best to disable or uninstall IIS, otherwise refer to the QVS manual about using IIS instead of QVWS. Personally my preference is IIS only as the server support guys find it easier to manage over QVWS. Not to knock QVWS, it does a great job.
