Is it possible to define under QDF a Dev-Test-Prod environment ?
I am thinking of something like:
- the developer works in a local copy of the project
- once he consider his work done, promotes the container to the TEST area
- once testers approves the container, it moves to PROD
(see also http://blog.qqinfo.ro/2011/11/good-practices-when-deploying-qlikview.html )
In particular, is QDF allowing a developer to move a project from the server to his local copy of QDF, work on it and move it back afterwards ? (Not just opening over the network a container that resides on the server)
IMHO, some times the additional complexity is making sense:
- big QVDs read and written over the network might create big delays in running the script, compared with local reloads
- this can affect production server performance, at least at the network interface level
- separation between development and production is a wise approach, in general, and the approach of opening containers over the network in local development machine is not a complete separation. (I agree it is a reasonably good one in quite a few cases)
