On Prem Sense Enterprise - creating and saving a "Data Model only" qvf for Binary Load in a "UI" qvf

ddumas — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 01:16:13 GMT

I am coming from QlikView to Sense. I am used to creating a separate "data model only" qvw, and then referencing that using a binary load on in the main "UI qvw.

I know how to create connections in Sense, and that enabled me to create a folder connection, and copy in an existing data model QVW that I created in QlikView. I then referenced that qvw in a binary load in the sense UI app's data model editor. I was able to happily create all my UI objects in Sense - and the app worked great.

Now, I have to "cut the umbilical cord" from QlikView, and create all my "data model only" qvf's in Sense. So, if I "create a new app" in sense (on prem enterprise) and then merrily do all my scripting in the data model editor for that app, how can I subsequently reference that "data model only" qvf , in a separate new "UI" qvf app I do not know how to get access to the "data model" qvf to copy it into a connection folder so that I can reference it in a binary load in the UI app.

I am thinking this is a common thing to do for anyone coming from QV to Sense. I hope I have described this correctly.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi @ddumas

I got bad news, visit this topic: Binary Load in QlikSense Cloud Business and you can write a comment pressuring Qlik requesting an ETA for this feature.

The Binary Load works in QSB but we do not have direct access to QVF files stored in the QSB cloud folder; if you copy the QVF file to a dropbox folder/connection it works!

I am brand new to the environment at this company. It looks like this is Sense Enterprise, meaning all Qlik file assets would not be stored in the cloud, correct?

The URL is: qliksense.cs.xxxx.com xxx domain is hidden here

I was given a file path to the apps on the server at: D:\QS_Test\QS_Share\Apps

Doesn't that mean that I could (1) create a connection to that folder in the script editor for the Main UI app, and then (2) reference that "Data Model" qvf in the binary load?

Here is the solution:

You need to create a connection folder which points to your Server apps.
and do a binary load of your data model app
Ex. binary [lib://folder namexxxxx]
