Hi @aritting , there is ongoing work in extending QDF to work with QS in cloud. but It's already possible to run qvs scripts from external storage, as seen below where you first need to create a file data connection to your storage (OneDrive - account).
SET vG.SharedBasePath='lib://MySpace:OneDrive - account/QDF_SaaS/Shared/';
$(include=$(vG.SharedBasePath)InitLink.qvs);

Hope this helps? Regards Magnus

@Magnus_Berg I created a "Root" mount to S3. I deploy QDF to S3 with custom init script.

@Magnus_Berg : Is there a timeframe for extending QDF to working with Qlik Sense Cloud?

Hi; Im so sorry for taking long time. My work and family has made this project to suffer, sorry for this. I have uploaded a QDF for cloud Alfa version here https://github.com/QlikDeploymentFramework/Qlik-Deployment-Framework-Cloud
There are several thinks to take in consideration:
* Shared container is a must and need to be mapped within the reload script, as seen below:
SET vG.HomeContainer='lib://user:OneDrive - mail/QDF_SaaS/Shared';
$(Include=$(vG.HomeContainer)\InitLink.qvs);
* In this release all folders in external drives need the Info.txt file to be identified as a Global variable
* external drives are really picky on trailing slash, for OneDrive no trailing slash is possible
* To identify containers stored in external drives, the base URL need to be specified in vG.SharedBaseVariablePath/ContainerMap.csv
* To identify spaces as containers just add the space name under vG.SharedBaseVariablePath/ContainerMap.csv

This is an early alfa with several bugs and limitations in Qlik Cloud.
* Shared container is a must and need to be mapped within the reload script, as seen below:
SET vG.HomeContainer='lib://user:OneDrive - mail/QDF_SaaS/Shared';
$(Include=$(vG.HomeContainer)\InitLink.qvs);
* In this release all container folders in external drives (folders you want to QDF to identify as Global Variable path) need to include the Info.txt file, as this file identifies the folder as a Global path
* external drives are really picky on trailing slash, for OneDrive no trailing slash is possible
* To identify containers stored in external drives, the base URL need to be specified in vG.SharedBaseVariablePath/ContainerMap.csv
* To identify spaces as containers just add the space name under vG.SharedBaseVariablePath/ContainerMap.csv
* Qlik Cloud spaces has limited support for subfolders, so adding QDF containers to spaces (by same name) only vG.BasePath and vG.QVDPath will work
* Use $(include=$(vG.SharedBasePath)/InitLinkSkip.qvs); to skip executing the initiation code to identify related containers are, this only works when Init has run successful once before in the same location

@Magnus_Berg : Thanks so much for providing this. I will test it against our Google Cloud Storage external drive and let you know if I find any bugs.

@mattnunn1 @aritting Ive worked on QDF for cloud during this week, and it works quite well now at least against OneDrive. I did a change during the initiation, now Its the same parameters as for QSEoW:
SET vG.HomeContainer='lib://user:OneDrive - user@company.com/QDF_SaaS/Shared';
$(Include=$(vG.HomeContainer)\InitLink.qvs);

Ive added more instructions under https://github.com/QlikDeploymentFramework/Qlik-Deployment-Framework-Cloud/blob/main/README.md

@Magnus_Berg : I have tested your code against Google Cloud Storage and I needed to make a few small changes to make it work. Google Cloud Storage requires a trailing slash '/' in the folder name for the dirlist function. I then needed to remove the slash in vl.QDF.Foldername.

let vL.QDF.Foldername =purgechar(subfield('$(vL.QDF.SubDir)','.',-1), '/');

Thx, Ive updated now with your change. Still works for me using One drive, please verify with Google Cloud Storage. Regards Magnus

Thanks Magnus, it is working with Google Cloud Storage.

That sounds great, can you send me the URL (obscuring company/personal name) you are mapping to 'SET vG.HomeContainer'? Then I can add that to the documentation, thx. Ive updates most of the functions now to work with QlikCloud as well, so please try them out.. Regards Magnus

hi!

Has anyone got this working with the "Office 365 Sharepoint Connector"? In my organization I need Admin-Rights to enable One-Drive, but the Sharepoint Connector works out of the Box. Just had to fix some minor issues with trailing Slashes.

Now I'm stuck with this error message. Currently, it seems the connector has troubles with points (".") in the folder structure.

I just added a case at Qlik Support "00081114: Qlik Cloud - Office 365 Sharepoint Connector can not read files with point '.' character on filepath". I will give an update as soon as I have an info from Qlik Support.

Thx,

Roland
