QlikView server performance

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

How can I check the performance of QVS and QVWS? How can I track the performance of server? In what scenario I can go for splitting QlikView services on different server?

Hi,

This qvw will help you to get the information of server performance.

And with respect to your second question "In what scenario I can go for splitting QlikView services on different server?":, you should consider this simple strategy: QVS (the QlikView service that manages documents, licenses and creates the document view in the AccessPoint) tries to grab as many CPU cores and RAM as possible to provide the best analysis experience to the end-users. The QDS (the reload scheduler that launches document reloads at predetermined moments that are specified in the QMC tasks) tries to do exactly the same: grab as many CPU cores and RAM to perform the reloads in the fastest way possible (i.e. without any slowdowns). As soon as they start competing for resources at the same time, slowing down reloads to hours instead of minutes and/or slowing down AccessPoint reaction times to a crawl, your server is in trouble.

You can solve this situation in two ways:

If possible, add more resources to the same machine (if either RAM or CPU are under heavy load, and you have empty slots left in your server machine), or
relocate the Publisher to another machine that is I/O-optimized (=speedy disks)

Best,

Peter

Does splitting of services require cluster license?

Re: QlikView server performance

No, it does require a full Publisher license though. For instance, you can't split an SBE server without a full publisher.

If splitting a QDS from a QVS is the first step on the scalability path of QlikView Server, then clustering is steps 2, 3, 4 ... n.

What about below scenario

1) Server1 - QDS, QDSC

2) Server2 - QVWS

3) Server3 - QVS

Do I need cluster license for above scenario? In which case we go for clustering the? Sorry for asking So many Questions

Re: QlikView server performance

No, you don't need a clustering license for loading standard services on three platforms. There are 5 essential QlikView services. If you have a full publisher license, you can put each one of them on a separate machine. That wouldn't make much sense, but you can.

As I explained before, clustering is the next step on the scalability ladder: if either one of QVS and QDS (of which you have a single copy) is insufficient to handle your loads, you can cluster them, meaning that you can buy a license for another QVS (or QDS) and configure the two copies as if they are one and the same. With "double" the performance.

And as you may have found out from the previous, QlikView lets you cluster QVS (multiple QLikView servers acting as one) or QDS (multiple Publishers acting as one) or both.

Best,

Peter

The Qlik Community has been created specifically to ask questions and (hopefully) get answers. So why would you be sorry?

If you want to know more about QlikView scalability and clustering, Qlik has a technical brief on the subject here: QlikView Scalability Overview | Qlik

Will splitting the services resolves the performance issue to some extent? if not then I should go for clustering, rite?

Re: QlikView server performance

Peter_Cammaert — Tue, 21 Jun 2016 12:06:21 GMT

I don't know. Where did you mention a performance issue?

There is no universal performance problem that can be solved by a one-fixes-all solution. These "issues" are very situation-specific.

Does anyone have a actual "QlikView Server Performance.qvw" for QlikView 12 ?
