Compose Cli generating error

ldunovant — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 20:49:07 GMT

I'm pretty new to Qlik. I'm using May 2022 (2022.5.0.403) version of Compose. Per documentation I should be able to use ComposeCli.exe to export objects to csv files. From Administrato Command Window, the command I'm using is

composecli.exe export_csv --project ProjectName --outfolder c:\FolderName

This fails with error SYS-E-SESS_LOST, The client is not connected to the Server. Please connect and then try again.

Please assist. What am I doing wrong?

Hi @ldunovant

At the composecli prompt, try entering "connect" (without the quotes) and pressing enter - then try your export command. Please let us know the results.

Thanks,

Dana

You're welcome @ldunovant

There isn't a specific or separate document on using ComposeCli, but it is mentioned in a few places in the User Guide if you search for it:

Start | Qlik Compose Help

Hope this helps

@ldunovantAs Dana mentioned there isn't a specific document for all the available options from Composecli command. But typing "composecli --help" from the installation bin folder will list all the available options.

Below is the part of the output from "composecli --help" command.

For further help with the individual command you can specify --help with a specific operation. Like this:

composecli generate_upgrade_scripts --help

Hope this helps!

Thanks,

Nanda
