IE Plugin usage?

ganeshreddy — Wed, 25 Nov 2020 16:16:04 GMT

Hi All,

Is there any possibility that we can avoid the usage of IE plug in in qlikview environments?
Because, whenever the QV upgrade happens, all of our clients needs to upgrade/install plugin in their machines and this leed to a huge work around.

Thanks,

Ganesh.

IE Plug In is not installed on Clients its on serverside, do you mean desktop?

Sorry, it is a Client installation.

There is a settings in QMC where you can tick or untick if IE Plug In should be available on server.

Hi Ganesh,

Yes its right each and every time you have to uninstall/install after upgrade happened.

So, I think you have to uncheck/check mark IE accordingly in QMC --> System --> Setup --> Qlikviewweb servers.

Best pracice is, Use AJAX Client instead of IE.

Below are the PROS & CONS

IE Plugin

Pros

Users can resize screen to fit

Users can run macros

Close fit to desktop view of document

Cons

Plugin has to be installed on each client

Plugin has to be uninstalled & reinstalled when server is upgraded

Extension objects not available

Only supported for IE not other browsers

Session collaboration not available

Ajax client

Pros

No installation at client

Extension objects can be used

Session collaboration

Notes and annotations

Supported on various browsers

Cons

Screens cannot be resized by users

Object positions and size can vary compared to desktop client

Macros not available

Hi Ganesh,

You can take help of your IT support team to run IE plugin as patch file like other important software for all users.

Hi Amit/Ganesh,

Yes it is good and also one of the approach.

But whenever they upgraded the versions, they should have to follow the approach.

Instead of using IE, recommend Ajax Client.
