Extensions on server

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hey,

I read probably all the posts about qlikview extensions (not) working on servers but I still cannot get it work. I have WebPageViewer extension working perfectly on Desktop client but it remains unknow chartype or invisible when I open the document in server or in AccesPoint.

What I did:

-I put WebPageViewer extension folder on C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects

-I set C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions as Alternate Extensions Path in QMC.

I don't have any more ideas. I believe there might be some little step I missed but I cannot figure it out.

Thank you in advance.

You would also need to allow extensions through the QMC. Go to system -> QlikView Server -> Security -> Allow extensions. You will find the checkbox under Miscellaneous

"Unknown chart type" is the way of displaying extensions in the desktop client in standard mode (i.e. not webview) or the IE plugin. You must use the ajax client to view your extension on a server document.

We are facing the same issue and i was wondering wether you found a workaround?

I think the problem here is that the display mode is not a real WebView mode (you can check this by context menu). So, in this case you should rather use the Ajax client.

Hi Ralf,

I didn't get what you mean with "display mode is not real WebView mode". Can you be more specific?

Thank you.

If you open a doc in server with QlikView desktop it switches into WebView. However it's obviously different then WebView of local a doc or the Ajax client.

After modify many times, i can see map for browser.

I suspect the size map, because, change for 600x600, and nothing filter in customers, the map show me.

And using size 400x400 and nothing filter in customers, don´t see. But, if select some customers, the map is show me.

Thanks for the help.

I had a similar issue (with the original issue, not that unrelated map thing) and solved it by copying the extension files to the QlikView Server Extension folder as well.

"To run QlikView Extensions on a QlikView Server, the contents of the Extensions folder have to be copied from %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects to the %ProgramData%\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects folder on the server."
