This article provides useful settings for your Qlik GeoAnalytics server.

Content:

Increase max zip size of shapefile

Default limit: 150 MB

Open and modify the GeoAnalyticsModule.xml configuration file in C:\ProgramData\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server\server3\modules\geoanalytics\config\GeoAnalyticsModule.xml

Example:

Sets max shapefile zip to 1 GB, -1 = unlimited.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<GeoAnalyticsModule maxDefaultDatasetSize ="1073741824"/>
Restart the module

Allow Qlik GeoAnalytics connector to reach local databases and files

You can configure Qlik GeoAnalytics to access local file systems (for reading shapefiles) as well as access GIS databases such as PostGIS.

GIS databases:

Open and modify the GeoAnalyticsModule.xml in C:\ProgramData\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server\server3\modules\geoanalytics\config\GeoAnalyticsModule.xml
Change enableDatabaseAccess to true

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<GeoAnalyticsModule enableDatabaseAccess="true"/>
Any required database drivers should be installed in ProgramData/Qlik GeoAnalytics Server/server3/lib.
Restart the server

Local files

Grant permissions to read local files to the keys. This is done by:

To to the admin GUI > Access Module > Multialiases
Select access:multi:GEOANALYTICSBASIC
Click Add / Remove Services
Find geoanalytics:datasets:localfile in the left pane, select it, press the > button, then Done

Allow Qlik GeoAnalytics Server to access local image files

The server block per default requests (with 403) to the same machine or local network, resulting in "Blocked access to local network: ..." in the server log.

Open and modify the WebMap5Module.xml in C:\ProgramData\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server\server3\modules\webmap5\config\WebMap5Module.xml

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<WebMap5Module allowGetResourceLocal="true" />
Restart the server

Force Qlik GeoAnalytics Server to set https as referal protocol

When doing port forwarding or using load balancers in front of the Qlik GeoAnalytics (QGA) server(s), it necessary to tell the QGA server to use https as the protocol in subsequent calls. The protocol behind the LB is normally http.

Open and modify the WebMap5Module.xml in C:\ProgramData\Qlik GeoAnalytics Server\server3\modules\webmap5\config\WebMap5Module.xml
Add forceSSL with a value of true

Example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<WebMap5Module forceSSL="true"/>
Restart the server

How would you combine the allowGetResourceLocal and forceSSL attributes in the same xml config file?

Would this work?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<WebMap5Module>
<forceSSL>true</forceSSL>
<allowGetResourceLocal>true</allowGetResourceLocal>
</WebMap5Module>
