Need Help: Want to change Data source server for Qlikview reports

VishrantiC — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

I have QlikView reports with version 11.20.

We want to upgrade our data source server.

Here, we are using SQL server as data source and we want to change the whole warehouse server from one to another.

We have QVS files in which the server connection is given. So from that we can change the data source.

But are there other changes that are required to be done? Because it is production server to we can't directly do it. May be it can impact all reports if I skipped any step and we have lots of reports users are using.

Please help me out on this as I need it to be done on urgent basis.

Technically, Yes. Only thing is you need to change the Connections also.

I would do parallel, Take back up of the all files which related QVW's and QVD's where the cluster stores. This can be more freeze for your assumption.
