QlikView Connection string creation without Human intervention

greenee — Tue, 20 Aug 2024 14:06:00 GMT

I have a new requirement to be able to create the QlikView connection string for production, without any human intervention.

Our passwords are stored in a vault, in which the passwords CAN be extracted via a shell script.
This MIGHT be able to be stored into a text file probably. (not sure of this at the moment, so will assume yes for this example)

Once this is done, is there a way to create a connection string with the credentials stored in that file (if it can be stored into a file), so that a HUMAN doesn't have to know the password to create the connection string ?

Many thanks for any help on this subject and please ask questions if more info needed.

Kind Regards

Greenee

I'm a little confused. You are making a QlikView question inside the Qlik Application Automation Forum (this is Qlik Cloud). Are you somehow mixing those two platforms or are you working just with QlikView or Qlik Cloud?

Ah, no It's QlikView question, I thought it might fit under Automation, as the process needs to be automated. 😃

My mistake, I shall post in correct place, thanks for the pointer.
