Questions on Qlikview version control (svn)

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi Community,

In my current project, we're thinking to set-up version-control. I saw quite a few relevant topics on this community, and a pdf-document that helped me to set it up and make some tests. Now I see that it works in my small-only-one-qvw-world, I was thinking on how to set it up in the "real world".

So my question is what the best practices are to set-up SVN for a somewhat bigger environment? (where a somewhat bigger environment is defined as lets say >=100 .qvw files).

Questions
[1] Does it make sense to have only 1 repository for all projects? or
[2] Or 1 repository for every .qvw file (/project)? or

[3] Some other approach

Initially I would go for [2], but since then I need so many repositories and need a new repository for every new .qvw project we make I think this is not so handy.

I hope you can provide me with some advice on how to set it up + what the benefits / drawbacks are to use this approach

Thanks in advance!
Roberto

I use your option 2:

[2] 1 repository for every .qvw file (/project)?

It work perfectly and I can see no reason to do it in a more complicated manner.

I have not counted number of SVN 'd qvw's but it must be a fair few hundred.

Best Regards, Bill

One thing to also consider is using a decentralized version control system like Git or Mercurial...

Hi Bill,

I hope you can answer my question:

as far as I understand SVN can handle subversion control but how can it handle and merge different AppName.qvw into a last AppName.qvw.

I mean, if 2 developpers work on a single AppName_0.qvw (let say they both can modify script and charts),

so AppName_0.qvw is copied as AppNamed_devA.qvw and AppName_DevB.qvw. The goal is to merge these 2 qvw into AppName_1.qvw

SVN can handle this automatically ?

best regards
