How to read a QVF file?

VijaySekar — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 20:58:41 GMT

I want to read a qvf file and see whats inside it like for example Tableau file format is twbx and we can unzip it and see whats inside. If we unzip a tableau file we can see a twb file and Image, Data Folder in it and we can open the twb file in xml format. I want to achieve the same thing in Qlik Sense SaaS file qvf.

There is a lot of "It Depends" in my answer to your question.

I have built automations that will read all the apps in a space and loop over all the objects to find out the usage of different extensions.

You are going to have to experiment with the various blocks in the Qlik Cloud Services category and evaluate what information you need.

In my object type usage Automation I grabbed the info that I needed and I built an app with an inline load table where I then created the appropriate visualizations.

qvf (app) files are in a Qlik proprietary format. You must use the Qlik APIs via a Qlik Server (or AS Desktop) to interrogate the contents of the QVF. A great tool to easily browse app contents is Qlik Explorer for Developers.
