Reloading document on QlikView Access Point

shyamcharan — Fri, 17 Apr 2015 01:00:51 GMT

Hi Experts,

I am trying to create a reload button on the dashboard where the Users can reload the document anytime when on Access Point.

I have done bit of research and now approaching you guys with confusion. Please accept my apologies if these are already answered elsewhere and if my questions are too basic.

A few details on the environment setup we have. We have installed QlikView server on the our machines.

In my research I found that I could achieve my requirement with quite a few ways.

-EDX method

-QMS API method

-Shell Scripting or .bat file

-VB Scripting method.

I have tried Shell and VB scripting methods but nothing happens and not sure whats wrong.

Do I need to install anything apart from the QlikView server to get any methods work? I don't think I could see anything related EDX or QMS API related files or apps on my machine.

Can someone please help me finding the solution. Thanks heaps in advance.

Regards,

Shyam.

Also make sure that the checkboxes are ticked in Document Properties > tab Security > 'Reload' and/or 'Allow User Reload'

I used EDX according to Using EDX in QlikView 11

Worked well.

Thanks Daniel.

Yes those options are already ticked.

To take the EDX approach do I need to have ETL tool of Visual Studio set up on the server machine?

I dont think its feasible with my end client. Please suggest.

Also, is there any other method that works without the EDX method to reload the dashboards.

Regards,

Shyam.

Thanks Michael for the response.

What do I need to set up to get the EDX method working? Do I need to have Visual Studio and/or ETL tool?

Also, Do I need to install anything related to EDX? We are having QlikView 11.2 version server installed.

Regards,

Shyam

Shyam,

Read the document, give it a try. You certainly don't need anything like Visual Studio or another tool, everything is pretty much ready to use and well described there. Yes, you need EDX-related files, you can download them from that document as well.

Regards,

Michael

Thanks Michael.

Sure will give a try.

The document says that I need QMS API, is it an extra installation that need to do?

Also, we do not have a publisher license will that be a problem?

Regards,

Shyam.

All the need files are right there. No installation, just copy the files in a folder you're going to use.

Publisher license... I used it, but the document says (see at the very end:

"EDX can be used without a QlikView Publisher license...".

I did not try this.

If you have more questions, I suggest to ask tle‌, who is the author of the document, he knows better.

Hi Experts,

Finally I was able to reload the task/dashboard using the QMSEDX.exe with a combination of a batch file command as follows:

C:\QlikView\Mac\02_Code\Published\Reports\QMSEDX_CommandLine\QMSEDX.exe -task="TestQVSource.qvw" -password=edx

However, this works only on the Desktop client of Qlikview but not on the QlikView Access point.

The following the code in the QMSEDX.exe configuration file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<system.serviceModel>

<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IQMS" closeTimeout="00:01:00"

openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"

maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"

messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"

useDefaultWebProxy="true">

<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"

maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

<transport clientCredentialType="Ntlm" proxyCredentialType="None"

realm="" />

</security>

</binding>

<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IQTService" closeTimeout="00:01:00"

openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"

allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"

maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"

messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"

useDefaultWebProxy="true">

<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"

maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />

<transport clientCredentialType="Ntlm" proxyCredentialType="None"

realm="" />

</security>

</binding>

</basicHttpBinding>

</bindings>

<endpoint address="http://HOSTNAME:4799/QMS/Service" binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IQMS" contract="QMSAPI.IQMS"

name="BasicHttpBinding_IQMS"/>

<endpoint address="http://HOSTNAME:4799/ANY/Service" binding="basicHttpBinding"

bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IQTService" contract="QMSAPI.IQTService"

name="BasicHttpBinding_IQTService" />

</client>

</system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

Can anyone please suggest what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance for your help.

FYI: I do not have Publisher License, I have used the task name rather.

Regards,

Shyam.
