qlik qrs export command giving error when --exportScope all flag is added

anuradha-bala — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

Hi,

We are migrating from Qlik Sense Windows to Cloud.

When running the migration scipt for migrating apps, it gives error. Tried each line in qlik cli. The line that fails is

qlik qrs app export create $appid --skipdata $SS --exportScope all --output-file $exportAppFile

Error: 400 - Bad Request (empty response)

But when i run the command without the --exportScope all option in qlik-cli it works.

qlik qrs app export create $appid --skipdata $SS --output-file $exportAppFile

Are there any permissions or setup that i am missing?

Thanks,

Anuradha

@anuradha-bala does that user have permissions to ALL objects in the app?

Hi @anuradha-bala , which version of Qlik Sense for Windows are you using? And which version of the cli?

HI @Daniele_Purrone ,

I encountered the same error when running the API using CLI version 2.26.0 and Qlik Sense November 2024 Patch 10.
In my case, it didn’t matter whether I removed the --exportScope all option — it worked the first and second time, but then after some attempts, it started throwing a 400 Bad Request error.
I will open a support ticket to investigate this further.

Regards

Eyal

Hello Eyal,

We are facing exactly the same issue. We have Qlik Sense November 2024 and CLI version 2.0.
Do let us know if you get the support .

Thanks,
Akshay

Hi @akshaychavan1 . As @eyalnir_qlik already knows, we were able to reproduce the issue ad reported it to R&D as a defect with ID SUPPORT-3800. We are currently waiting for feedback from the dev team.

hello @akshaychavan1

The root cause has been identified as related to the use of cookies in Qlik-Cli. As a temporary workaround, when the error occurs, you can manually delete the cookie store and then re-run your command:

On Linux: delete ~/.qlik/.cookiestore
On Windows: delete %USERPROFILE%\.qlik\.cookiestore

Please note: this workaround needs to be repeated each time the issue comes up, so it’s not a long-term solution. The R&D team is aware and working toward a permanent fix.

Hope this helps in the meantime!

@Daniele_Purrone @Joseph_Musekura ,any update on when the patch for bug SUPPORT-3800 will be released and in which version?

Hi @eyalnir_qlik . This would require an update of the cli, rather than Qlik Sense. I have asked internally about this update, if it has been implemented or not.

However, there is a workaround that can be applied in the meantime:

Login to the Qlik Sense server, navigate to the folder %Program Files%\Qlik\Sense\Proxy.
Open Proxy.exe.config file.
In this file, search for the flag RestrictSessionCookieToVPPrefix and set this flag to false.
1. If the flag is not available in the flag, then add it manually with the value set to false.
Save the file and restart Qlik Sense Proxy Service.
Use Qlik CLI tool and test the export app calls.

Once done, you should revert the changes.
