New data connections not appearing in Apps

Amy-M-Collins — Tue, 07 Dec 2021 16:54:26 GMT

I have an issue that whenever we set-up a new data connection, the person who set-up the connection can see it (in qmc and in apps). However, I can see the new connection in the QMC but I can't see it in the apps to use it.

We have tried restarting the server and changing the owner (to qlikadmin) but we are still having the issue.

I was wondering if anyone else has seen this issue and if so how you resolved it.

Thanks in advance!

P.S. This only appears to be happening for REST and SQL connections so far.

Check that the users who can't see the connection(s) have a security rule associated which allows them to see the connection(s). If memory serves, by default, only certain types of admins and the the creator can see a connection unless specified otherwise.
