Search for QVD reference in multiple Qlikview apps

Hello!

I wonder is there a reasonable way of solving my current task. I have hundreds of Qlikview applications, which need to be checked whether they load data from certain QVDs or not. Basically the script needs to be checked and I'm thinking about how to automate such a process not to check all the applications manually. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Could the Governance Dashboard be of assistance in your case? Here is some information about it: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/governance-dashboard/Content/QV_GovDashboard/What.htm You can download it from our download page when logged in.

I've also found this third party script (QlikView) which may be of assistance: https://github.com/vasiliy-petrenko/QlikView-Lineage-Dependency-Analyzer

Alternatively, if all your QVW have document logs enabled, you could have those files searched for references to the QVD name.
