Reading data from .SHARED file

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

Good day,

I need some help with the data in the .Shared file (file created to store the session information and other setting from the Web).

I would like to read the bookmark's information that the users create, store them into a QVD and incorporate them as Document Bookmarks into the QVW by the "Import bookmark" command in a daily basis.

Does anyone have experience reading data from the .Shared files?

Thanks in advance,

Hugo.

Thanks Rakesh. It's promising.

I will run some tests ASAP.

The Power tools don't show the actual content of the bookmarks, but only show the 'id' of the bookmark.

Did you find a way of retrieving the actual bookmark from the shared file?

rgrds,

Anita

QV Power Tools http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3059 has the QvServerObjectConnector tool, which you can use as a connector to read data from the Shared files. Really straightforward usage, with instructions in a Readme file.

Hope this helps
