QMS API Bug

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:48:52 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to add a Document Administrators via the QMS API with following code, which works if I add only 1 user.

$myname="MyReport";

$myuser='user1,user2'; //to be changed

//var_dump($this->getQVSSettings()->Folders->UserDocumentAdministrators); //print possible properties

$tmp=0;

foreach (getArray($this->getQVSSettings()->Folders->UserDocumentMounts->QVSMount) as $mountedFolder)

{

//print_r("___ ".$mountedFolder->Name."___ ");

$myfolderID=$mountedFolder->FolderID;

//var_dump($qlikviewUserDocumentFoldersTmp[0]->Administrators=array('user1','user2'));

if ($mountedFolder->Name == $myname)

{

//print_r("Mounted Folder name: ".$mountedFolder->Name);

//print_r("Folder ID: ".$myfolderID);

$myqlikviewQVSSettings = new stdClass();

$myqlikviewQVSSettings = $this->client->GetQVSSettings(array('qvsID' => $this->qlikviewServerInfo->ServiceInfo->ID, 'scope' => 'Logging'))->GetQVSSettingsResult;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Cluster = $this->getQVSSettings()->Cluster;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Distribution =$this->getQVSSettings()->Distribution;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Documents = $this->getQVSSettings()->Documents;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Folders = $this->getQVSSettings()->Folders;

foreach (getArray($myqlikviewQVSSettings->Folders->UserDocumentAdministrators->QVSFolderAdministrator) as $OneAdminFolder)

{

if($OneAdminFolder->FolderID==$myfolderID)

{

print_r("Found correct folder ID : ".$OneAdminFolder->FolderID);

$OneAdminFolder->UserName=$myuser;

}

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->General = $this->getQVSSettings()->General;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Logging = $this->getQVSSettings()->Logging;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Performance=$this->getQVSSettings()->Performance;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->QVSID = $this->getQVSSettings()->QVSID;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Scope=$this->getQVSSettings()->Scope;

$myqlikviewQVSSettings->Security=$this->getQVSSettings()->Security;

$this->client->SaveQVSSettings(array('qvsSettings' => $myqlikviewQVSSettings)); //save the new QVS Settings into the QMC

}

$tmp++;

}

Everything goes nice, no error. I open now my QMC and check at http://my-ip:4780/qmc/SystemSetup.htm# and want to check if it was done, nothing is there, but it tells me that 1 user is there. No, I didn't remove the user on the picture ....

Let's change a bit and put $myuser='user1';

This works great, only if there is already an administrator for a document folder, then I can assign him an user and it removes the old administrator from the document folder and sets the new one instead.

My question, how can I add a second user as document administrator without erasing the previous one(is it even possible) and why can I add : $myuser='user1,user2'; and it doesn't returns me an error?

Yours,

Mike

Hi Micael,

with C# the following code-snippet adds "myuser" to all folders and works as expected.

using (QlikView.QMSClient c = new QlikView.QMSClient())
{
    
    QlikView.ServiceInfo server = c.GetServices(QlikView.ServiceTypes.QlikViewServer).First();
                
    QlikView.QVSSettings settings = c.GetQVSSettings(server.ID, QlikView.QVSSettingsScope.Folders);
    QlikView.QVSSettings.QVSFolders folders = settings.Folders;
                   
    c.GetUserDocumentFolders(server.ID,QlikView.DocumentFolderScope.All).ForEach(folder => {
        QlikView.QVSFolderAdministrator newadmin = new QlikView.QVSFolderAdministrator();
        newadmin.UserName = "myuser"
        newadmin.FolderType = QlikView.QVSUserDocumentFolderType.Root; //this is meaningless, but it's required for serialisation
        newadmin.FolderID = folder.ID;
        folders.UserDocumentAdministrators.Add(newadmin);
    });                    
                    
                    
    c.SaveQVSSettings(settings);
}

Therefore, I don't think it's a bug.

Maybe you could adapt it to your needs.

Regards Sven
