Qlik CLI Qlik Sense Cmdlet for PowerShell

ahmedadmin — Thu, 04 May 2017 15:49:22 GMT

Does anyone has successfully installed and used the Qlik CLI from the Git hub for Qlik Sense

Please provide me with some use case documentation for using this open source addon for the Qlik Sense.

I have exactly the same issue. Documentation does not provide any information how authentication to Qlik Sense should be configured. Given example of using certificates does not work.

Use this Syntax to connect to the Qlik Sense API from the PowerShell Command line

Connect-Qlik -Computername [computer-Name] -TrustAllCerts -Username [ServiceAccount with which Qlik is Installed]

Tried this, but still returns errors. Used following syntax at central node: "Connect-Qlik -Computername https://127.0.0.1/ -TrustAllCerts -Username domain\username"

---

Invoke-RestMethod : The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.

User the Domain Name OR CName for the Computer For example <CentralNode-machinename> OR <cname>.

Also in the PowerShell set the command as below before executing the command.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

Managed to establish connection by using commands

"Connect-Qlik -Computername https://computer/ -TrustAllCerts -Username domain\user"

"gci cert:currentuser\my | where { $_.friendlyname -eq 'QlikClient' } | Connect-Qlik"

. After that I managed to run commands with Qlik-CLi. Thanks

I keep getting below error message. I am trying to run the CLI from qlik sense central node. I am not connecting remotely.

Connect-Qlik [servername] -UseDefaultCredentials -TrustAllCerts

Did anyone figure out how to connect using Connect-Qlik command from the qlik central node machine itself? Am getting the same error message "The term 'Get-QlikAbout' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, etc...' as @soheil

Thanks

Yes, I was able to resolve it with help of Qlik support team.

For easier setup, pls install Qlik-Cli on central node. (lets avoid certificates authentication for now)
Launch PS as Admin
Check the PowerShell version and make sure its 5 or above.
Make sure to enable TLS 1.2 protocol

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12

Update modules - PowerShellGet & PackageManagement
Install-Module PowerShellGet -Force
Install-Module PackageManagement -Force
Then run this PS script – (attached )
Install the module now
Install-Module Qlik-Cli

did you end up resolving this? the error you are receiving is generally because the script has been unable to load the resource files.

The updated instructions also mention that if you are manually installing the module to place it in "C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Qlik-Cli" not "C:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\Qlik-Cli"
