Reloading a document that should not be seen in the root folder

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 08:38:52 GMT

Hi,

I am using Binary Load to load one document into another. So i load Customer.qvw into another document. The issue here i need Customer.qvw only for the purpose of being loaded into another document, and not to be shown to the users.

Therefore i guess i must not locating the Customer.qvw in my server root folder (where all the documents are available to users), but in some other place. But still i would like the customer.qwv to be reloaded each day, using the server schedualing.

Does anybody has an idea how to perform the task?

Thanks,

Guy

Hi, Guy

QlikView will consider Windows permissions on the file before showing it on AccessPoint. Therefore, you could grant all permisions to the user that runs QV server services and remove any other permission to the users.

Thus, it will not be possible to the others to see or open the files in the accesspoint

Hope this helps,

Erich

Another option would be to Create a Folder where you put your Customer.qvw file (and other files you may have QVD's, etc. on that you don't want users to browse).

Then in QEMC you mount that folder in System -> Setup -> Click on Add for new folders. Put in the name and remember to un-tick the browsable option (Sorry for some reason I cannot attach a screen shot to this message). What you can do though is check out this link in the documents describing exactly the same process:

Hope this helps.

That's right. this folder called Mounted Folder, in as you say, i unchecked the Browsable checkbox so this folder can not be seen by the users.
