How to publish an App with attached file content

jcrincon — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 19:25:29 GMT

Hello everyone.

This is my case: I created an App using Qlik Sense Desktop with collect, analyze and visualize data from a database and a CSV file. I attached the CSV file to the App using the DataManager UI. The App works as I need.

The App was published at my Qlik Sense Server (Windows) with success. But, an error message is triggered when the App is reloaded because it's looking a Data File Connection lib://tmp/...

TMP directory was the directory at my Desktop computer where the CSV file was uploaded from.

Any advice on how to publish my App? What I'm doing wrong? What's missing?

Regards,

The simplest fix would probably be to just reattach the file to the app on the server.

Otherwise, you can edit the script and correct it to the "Attached Files" connection.

Let me know if you need an example of the latter approach.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Could you please send me a sample ?

After changing the script, do I need also upload the data file at QMC (app > app content > upload)?

Thanks

Dear Lblumenfeld,

Thank you for your answer. It works now for me.

This is what I did. I made a windows directory named AttachedFiles. Then, I copied my file there, Attached to my App using the DataManager UI at Qlik Sense Desktop.

At QMC, I imported the App and upload the file using "App Content" UI.

Thanks again. I save me a lot of time.
