Hide QVW in Access Point, but it shall still be accessible via URL

[hugmarcel]

Hi

I want to hide a qvw in the Access Point, but it shall still be accessible via http (e.g. http://Server/QvAJAXZfc/AccessPoint.aspx?open=&id=QVS%40myserver%7CUAT%2DEMO.qvw&client=Plugin)

See as well https://community.qlik.com/thread/19990. There it says:

".., it appears all you have to do is go onto the Qlikview Server and check the hidden flag
in the properties of the file to make it invisible on the Accesspoint without losing the ability to connect.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, when you redistribute the file, the hidden attribute is removed from the file."

That is exactly what I need. But is there a more convenient method?

Thanks a lot! Marcel

You could have a small QVW-load script run after all the reloads have happened that have the following command:

EXECUTE attrib.exe +H  D:\QlikView\Documents\$*.QVW;

This will set the hidden attribute of every QVW where the filename starts with a $... choose whichever special character or characters to group the hidden files on .... or you could have a special folder mounted where all the hidden files should reside....

Create a special folder for that app and make it non browsable. If you have a Publisher of course.

Hi

this does not work for me, I have tested this. It the folder is not browsable any longer, the qvw file cannot be accessed via http any longer.

Great tipp, thank you! I was also thinking about a solution like this. However, I would appreciate to have a solution without any more batches etc.

That is strange. I use it all the time. ??
