Getting all QV settings from one computer

Hi guys,

How can I get all settings from QV from one computer?

I have one template computer with correct settings and I need to compare settings to another computers.

QlikView 11 and 12 (1 or 2 computers).

Maybe it is possible to get txt file with all options?

I've never tried this my self but I guess that the %AppData%\QlikTech\QlikView\Settings.ini file would be of interest

Well all I found is here:

Distribution Service_QVDistributionService.exe.config
EDX_QMSEDX.exe.config
Management Service_QVManagementService.exe.config
ManagementService_Config.xml
QlikViewServer_Settings.ini
Web Server_QVWebServer.exe.config
WebServer_config.xml

First part of file is the name of folder with settings file.

The config files are only part of the equation here, the Management Service QVPR files are the main repository for much of the configuration with the exception of the QlikView Server and the Web Server, which have their own Settings.ini and Config.xml respectively. Those three things are primarily where you would want to check to see if things are configured the same etc.

I would also check the exe.config files too just to be sure there were no modifications you may need to move etc. there as well, just to be safe. Hopefully this helps a bit more.

Ah, so the QVPR folder is in ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagaementService, the QlikView Server Settings.ini is in ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer and the Web Server info is in the Config.xml in ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer. You had found the exe.config files in the Program Files directory already it seems. The EDX piece is an unsupported EDX trigger exe, just FYI.

I think that is everything of which I can think here. If you do have the environments up, you can use the QMC\System\About to get a dump of each service, but that is pretty basic info there, not the details you need to check in the other files etc.

Regards,
Brett
