QlikSense change properties of published application

Wed, 13 Apr 2016 11:21:12 GMT

Hello Qlik-Team,

I need to know if it is possible to change the properties of a published application. The requirement is to persist an additional ID to an application - published or not!

With the Engine API it is possible to update or add proberties with "SetAppProperties". This is working for unpublished apps. For published apps the behavior of the Engine API feels a bit strange:

If send the following request:

{

"handle": 1,

"method": "SetAppProperties",

"params": {

"qProp": {

"description": "1337"

}

"id": 12,

"jsonrpc": "2.0"

}

i get this response:

{

"jsonrpc": "2.0",

"id": 12,

"result": {},

"change": [

]

}

But if i take a look with GetAppLayout, nothing changed...

Request:

{

"handle": 1,

"method": "GetAppLayout",

"params": {},

"id": 14,

"jsonrpc": "2.0"

}

Response:

{

"jsonrpc": "2.0",

"id": 6,

"result": {

"qLayout": {

"qTitle": "trueChart",

"qFileName": "559fca71-3c81-4e93-a187-3e7fbc12af97",

If i try to change the qMeta property with:

{

"handle": 1,

"method": "SetAppProperties",

"params": {

"qProp": {

"qMeta" : { "guid" : "1337" }

}

i get the same response

{

"jsonrpc": "2.0",

"id": 12,

"result": {},

"change": [

]

}

and the AppLayout has changed:

Request:

{

"handle": 1,

"method": "GetAppLayout",

"params": {},

"id": 14,

"jsonrpc": "2.0"

}

Response:

{

}

But it is not possible to save this information in qMeta. A DoSave-Request is forbidden of course and after a refresh the qMeta informations are lost.

Thank you very much for you help!

Thank you very much for your response.

We also solved this by adding a new object and storing the properties inside of the object.

Verily it is a pity that Qlik Sense does not support dynamic app properties. For me our solutions feels like a workaround. But the really annoying fact is that nothing is documented about this and unfortunately i was not able to found your written thread. But Sense is still young and may be you are able to support this in a future Qlik Sense version or perhaps you could update your documentation.
