QlikView Application Downloading a File - Not working inAccessPoint

pasgalbarra — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 10:57:08 GMT

Hi Community,

I have a QlikView application with a table that has a link to download files (pdf and msg), the app is working in QlikView desktop, but is not working in the AccessPoint.

Is this a setting configuration?

Thanks

Hi pasgalbarra,

This is a browser security feature where it's not allowed access to the file system.
Happily, QlikView comes with its own webserver built in which can be used to access files and folders.
Have a look at https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-to-host-pdf-files-on-the-QlikView-Webserver-or-open-a-pdf/ta-p/1811233

Thanks,

Simon

@pasgalbarra for .msg you have to add this to the Mime Types, this is not a default Extension

The MIME type for .msg files should be application/vnd.ms-outlook if I'm correct

@pasgalbarra

Does the link work from you machine when you paste it in your Windows Explorer window?

QlikVIew only refers to the link, you're machine has to download or open it

@pasgalbarra ok, does clicking the link in the accesspoint give you any error?

Nop, I can see the link at the bottom of the app, but nothing is downloaded.

@pasgalbarra tested a simple document with this link https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2024/pdf/System%20requirements%20for%20Qlik%20Sense.pdf

The url shows same as with your app

When I click the link it opens a new window displaying the pdf.

Have you got a popup blocker?

See attached document
