script to create qvw from prj folder/files

Tue, 31 Mar 2015 09:18:59 GMT

Hi,

We are using source control and would like to create a script that automatically fetches the files from server. However, our goal that When fetching the prj folder/files from the TFS server, the script should also create the relevant project qvw file as the qvw file itself is not stored on the TFS server. We can do this manually in qlikview client but we want the qvw file to be created automatically from the prj folder

In short words, we want a script to fetch the prj folder from TFS, create the relevant qvw file for it and migrate it to our production server so that nothing manual is involved in this process

Kindly suggest solutions if you have any

Regards

Shah

Hi Shah,

here's a script here which will recreate your qvw's from a prj folder.

Many thanks Marcus,

It seems like the solution I was looking for. Just one more question. Is it possible to check the section access option in the document opening properties through a script.

What I would like to do is after a qvw file is created, I run the document reload and then enable the section access by checking the "Initial data reduction Based on Section Access" through a script. I want this whole process to be automatic. Is that possible?

Hello Marcus,

the link does not work (anymore). Can you please provide the script content or a how to?

Maybe someone else can publish the solution?!

Thanks a lot!
