QVS Management API

Hi,

When I try the samples of the QMSAPI (QVSSettings & TaskConsole) I get following message: "Service Key is missing".

When I look to the value of the Service Key via following code

MessageBox.Show("Service Key: " + ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey.ToString());

it does have a value, but when executing

ServiceInfo[]MyQVSInfo = Client.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewServer);

it says "Service Key is missing".

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

Right syntax for this is

ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = QMSClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey()

'Fetching the ID of the first QVS resource

Dim qvsServices As List(Of ServiceInfo) = QMSClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewServer)

You might need to update service references in .NET.

The answer from this question, by Stefan Backstrand, works to solve the "Service key is missing" error message.

13. Add the following XML attribute to the bottom <endpoint ... /> tag of your app.config file: behaviorConfiguration="ServiceKeyEndpointBehavior"

Also, make sure that the value of the constant SERVICE_KEY_HTTP_HEADER in theServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.cs source file is X-Service-Key.
