Using Tortise SVN and Qlikview's -prj folders for every .QVW file lets almost all the code (scripts, charts, settings, etc.) get saved into a -prj folder as a bunch of XML files (one -prj folder per .QVW). You then link Tortoise SVN to a repository like unfuddle.com where you check in changes to your development directory structure.

It's essential all the developers follow very deliberate and consistent procedures, use identical versions, etc. to keep things in sync and working properly. Do not do this unless it's absolutely essential in your environment but it does allow multiple developers to work on the same .QVW's, merge changes, etc. Even with this, two developers working on exactly the same chart simultaneously would not be a good idea (& probably isn't really necessary).

Hi, as Dave said, "Do not do this unless it is absolutely essential", If you have the possibility to manage and not do this, let think about it ,

good luck

Hi,

If 2 people are doing on same dashbaord, both of them must be not doing on the same sheet. you can copy the sheet from other person who has minor changes.

if it at chart level you can replace the chart.

This kind of situation arises rarely. so you can go for manual copy paste of objects/sheets.

Obviously both are not working on the same part of dashboard.

Hi,

Do you really need to separate a QlikView app so there will be many people to develop concurrently?

Try to divide the work load for generating different qvds, gvws, qlikmarts etc

Try to check TortoiseHG... It has several advantages over SVN: easier to use, decentralized, ...
