Hello Everyone,

We have setup Qlik Sense server on C drive and now want to move entire setup to D drive. Please help me with all required actions. I found a link (pasted below) but that's for Qlikview, not able to found similar article for Qlik sense. Any help would be appreciated.

Today I took risk and did it on my own. Below are the steps if it helps anyone:

1. Took backup of Repository DB and Certificates referring below link:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense/June2019/Subsystems/PlanningQlikSenseDeployments/Content/Sense_Deployment/Backing-up-a-site.htm

2. Took backup of entire Qlik Share folder.

3. Uninstalled Qlik patch and then main Qlik setup from Control Panel

4. While uninstalling please make sure to uncheck the checkbox "remove Qlik Sense apps, database and data folders".

5. Do the installation. when it asks for Repository Database, please select check box to use the existing database and provide the repository db password.

6. Change the path to another drive instead of C when it comes to that screen.

7. After installation completes uncheck the checkbox where it asks for Starting services after installation completes.

8. If there are any patches, please install those.

9. Copy the entire content of Qlik Share folder to the new shared folder (if changed the shared folder).

10. Start all the Qlik Services.

With that all my settings were intact and all apps were present. Didn't had to do any thing after installation completes.
