GovernanceDashboard once more

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

Hi guys,

I am just starting to dig into the manual for the QlikView_GovernanceDashboard.

I have to set up the configuration now. That appears simple enough, only I have one question:

=> The GovernanceDashboard is installed on my laptop, but the QlikView_Server is on the physical server.

=> Can I enter network_paths for the Scan_Profile?

=> Can I install the GovernanceDashboard in a custom filepath on my laptop?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi,

merely have I entered the installation_directory (not the default) and I already have the first problem:

I get an error_message that unfortunately does not tell me anything

Fehler in Skriptzeile:

LET vErrorMessage = 'QVX Meta' & ' directory does not exist, cannot be reached, or is empty.' & chr(10) & 'Please validate path: ' & 'C:\Users\friedrich.hofmann\Documents\QlikView\Admin_Tools\QlikViewGovernanceDashboard\QVX_LastRun' & chr(10) 'NOTE: If you are referencing a UNC share, you must point to a subfolder within the UNC root and not directly to the root folder.'

Can anybody tell me what's wrong here? That directory QVX_LastRun exists in that file path all right ...

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Hi Ashfaq,

but then I don't quite understand what can be wrong? That is a UNC path (to the directory where I installed the Governance_Dashboard), no?

Hi,

As the entire script used to build this governance dashboard is placed in hidden script.

I think we need to contact QlikView for any further modifications

Oh, that's great 😉

That means we cannot do anything about this right now.

(except, there is a newer version by now, isn't there? I have 1.0.1, I couldn't find a newer one)

The thing is, I don't want to have it in the default_installation_directory because all our laptops and PCs are centrally managed and those central directories are, as a rule, out of bounds for regular users ...

I placed Governance dashboard in my local pc D drive.

No need for folder structure.

I have found only one difference from the manual, that is that I don't have that templates directory in the directory where I installed the whole thing - but those subdirectories exist. So I'm working on the default profile. But that should not matter, I think?

Yes,

As long as you configure Configuration tab properly.

You will not have any issues.

Oh thank you, that is awesomely helpful 😉

anyway, I have found something now - well, I thought, maybe the script is looking for that default_directory and I found that I can at least open that location. I'll see if I am allowed to save anything there, else I'll have to move it all. I have now copied that profiles\template directory, given it a new name and I'm going to start once more in there...

Hmm ... apparently, the script is looking for the directory > scanners/GovScanner < INSIDE my newly_created profile_directory now, that's what I can read from the somewhat strange error_message - but those directories (exist, but) are placed on the same level as the new profile_directory, not inside it.

What I have done is copy the profiles\template directory, give it a new name and move it up one level - but all this directory contains is by default

- The .qvw itself

- The log_file

- Three directories:

--- QVD_Historical

--- QVX_LastRun

--- config

All other directories are placed on the same level.

Could you have a look at what the directory_structure is looking like on your machine?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

Hi,

I had to do some more moving - I moved the .qvw itself as well as the log_file out of my newly_created profile_directory, one level up so that that >scanners< directory is now on the same level as the qvw.

Alongside that is the profile_directory I created.

Now, when I click on "Validate paths", it runs without errors, so I guess that my filepaths for one are correct.

I will make an "enhanced screenshot" (with some arrows and such, I do that in Paint.Net) and attach it as soon as it's ready.

Hi,

well, now I'm at it, I might as well download the newest version first and then get the whole thing going.
