installing extension on Qlikview Server, cannot find Extensions\Objects

Fri, 20 Dec 2013 15:16:54 GMT

Hi,

I read on the community that in order to install extension on the server, I need to move the

C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\QlikTech\QlikView\Extensions\Objects

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects

However inside the folder C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\ , I cannot find the folder Extensions\Objects . Can someone please guide me if I need to create this folder manually, or do I need to make some other configuration

Regards

Arif

If it's not there, you need to create it manually.

just tried it. Created the folder manually and unzipped all the extension files there. Tried to run the report and opened the map but got a message that unknown charttype. the map runs fine on desktop.

I tried to put the webveiw version as well as the non-webview version on the server but neither is working

On the server, are you using AJAX or the IE plugin? Extensions only work in AJAX.

I am accessing it using IE but not sure if its using IE plugin. How do I force the server to always use ajax for accessing the document?

In QMC, go to User Documents, select your document on the left, and on the right - Server, Availability. Check Access method "Full Browser..." and uncheck other methods.

Repeat for each document.

Can you attach the Script.js file? I'm wondering if you have the folder named incorrectly.

Or if you want to try to look for yourself, the folder needs to be named the same as whatever is in this line in the file:

Qva.AddExtension('Folder Name', function ()

Hi Nicole,

I tried to change the path in qva.addextension function but it did not work. However, I also believe it has something to do with the path. Attached is the zip file that works fine with the desktop version but does not work with server

On a side not, Many thanks for your quick responses and help for my recent posts. It has really helped me a lot to provide my dashboards without much delay and I realy appreciate that

I tried the below path but it did not work

Qva.AddExtension("C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\GoogleMaps - Cluster\GoogleMaps - Cluster",function()

You should only have one GoogleMaps - Cluster folder. Leave the Script.js file the way it is, but make sure you only have the extension files inside of one GoogleMaps - Cluster folder, which should be directly under the Objects folder.
