Copy files from the server

marcuspderloin — Thu, 12 Dec 2019 06:30:45 GMT

Hi.

I have a question. There are some files (*.qvw) at the server. It is good to work with them directly on the server, but when there are necessities to make changes on them, it is not very convenient work with them. So I would like to make a local copy on my machine to test my ideas.

So the question is : How to copy files from the server?

Was thinking about making a macros or a button with the action but dont have any idea how.

There is no cahnce to contact server admins as there are on the vocation but the task is very urgent

THX

The QVW files exist in a (usually shared) folder on the server, or a network share accessible to the server. Simply browse to that location in Windows Explorer and copy the files to your local machine. Your user account would need to have read access to the folder.

Not from a qvp:// path. You need the network share path. In Windows explorer, something like:

\\yourserver\share (this should point to the document mounted folder with the QVW documents) or a parent thereof)

Then browse to find the required QVW document andcopy tp your local machine.

Create a text box and enter the expression =ComputerName(). This will display the server name as read by Qlikview. (Then delete the text box....)

This assumes that you are using qvp (open in server) or opening the document in a web browser. If you open it in desktop on your PC, the name will be that of the PC.
