Downloading Files From QlikView Application

raajeshn — Sat, 31 Jan 2015 10:36:00 GMT

Hi Friends,

I have been asked to create a QlikView Application which can be used by the end users for downloading certain files (CSV or ZIP) and I created the attached app. While the app works good in QlikView desktop, it fails in AccessPoint. Can anybody help me understand where I am supposed to place the output folder and what would be the essential link for downloading the same. Appreciate your inputs. Thanks.

Thanks & Regards,

Raajesh N

Guess that you need to enter a full path incl domain.

If you will use NTFS-Security you need a link to a Share folder or a Website with authentification logic. Without NTFS Security you can simple mount the folder and the Datatypes in the QMC -> System -> QlikView Webserver -> Web. then you get it as normel Download by the Webserver.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the quick response, but can you please help me with an example. In this case my AccessPoint URL is http://localhost/qlikview/index.htm (localhost being replaced by the machine name). I tried placing the file in the QvAjaxZfc Directory, but doesnt seem to help.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the response.

We have DMS, and I have already mounted the folder and I have moved the required CSV Files there. I am still getting a HTTP 404 error, any ideas..? I have also tried ZIP files instead of CSV and have the same response. Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Try,

http://[SERVER]/QvAjaxZfc/QvsViewClient.aspx?public=only&size=long&host=QVS%40c[SERVER]&name=[MOUNT/FILE.CSV]

It works for me when i use the following settings and restart qvws. Check if youre service user has rights in that folder and check if you enter the right Fileextension.

Hi Raajesh

think that you need to enter a full path to the file, not only the name. On your local PC the file might be found through default directories, but this might be different on the server

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the response, and apologies for the delay.

I tried this, however, I only get a QvsViewClient.aspx file which has the following text,

Guess, I am missing something, do you see something fishy? Thanks.

PS: My connection is definitely on, and am able to open the QVW which contains the above link.
