Let's consider as your company has some public IP depends on your USERS and storing of files

www.community.qlik.com and we have IP using IIS / Tomcat to get into host so then we need to publish that work file to the IP only. So, in QVS there is option called Mount / Root folder to access the files from server. And, Once it has done then they provide access which is default if your company has any Web Ticket Method and obviously you need to provide those credentials to the USER then they will access

Development:

Here, we are writing section access script to allocating the application access (If needed).. Finally, You have to provide as there credentials to access like credentials to open the work file where we done the QVW.

Finally, For your question you could give your public IP www.community.qlik.com/login.htm and tell them about your navigation to see the application. Then hit on the application where we need.

There are two different answers to your question.

The AccessPoint is a web portal that offers access to all documents published to a particular user. If you want to supply a link to the AccessPoint (from where a user can easily select and open a specific document), use something like:

http://servername/qlikview

Replace servername with the name of the server on which the AccessPoint is hosted.
If on the contrary you want to supply a direct link to a particular document (no AccessPoint involved at all, just another html document), you'll first have to open the document yourself, check the address bar in your browser and get acquainted with the way QlikView Server provides access to a specific document. You can pass this link to the other user if you want.

Best,

Peter

Does it mean, You disable one of the QVW in your server and you want to show the same QVW in Access point with out going back QMC? Isn't it?

I feel you have done some script environment which reload the file and using Batch script to achieve. But, I am not 100% sure what you are doing now and i am not into server..

Elaborating on what Peter said, the AccessPoint, by default, has the same address than the computer which hosts the QlikView WebServer (note that it could be Qlik's own webserver or IIS, so whichever runs the web server).

If you run more than one web server to balance the load, then the right URL could be either the load balancer URL (more appropriately) or each of the web servers URL, which you can take from the QMC > System > Setup > QlikView Web Servers > click on one > Summary and something like "http://servername:4750/QVWS/Service", so http://servername/qlikview would be the right address.

EDIT: Open the document in the AccessPoint yourself (not referring to the webserver as "localhost") and use this URL for any other user. That will work too.

From the screenshot you posted above, I get it that you are a Document Administrator. Which means that your QlikView setup contains a Publisher. Which means that your documents aren't simply published by dropping them in the AccessPoint folder (they can be published like this, but that's probably not what the sysadmin did).

A Publisher (which is like an extremely configurable reload engine) usually picks up documents from a Source Folder (invisible to AP visitors), optionally reloads and reduces them and then - if this documents need to make an appearance in the AP - distributes them to a User Folder.

You're right, you don't need to reload your document in this case, but to get it into the AP you need at least to distribute your document to your QlikView server and to a specific group of users (possibly all of them). Enable the task, disable the reload step (top right in the Reload tab) and configure the Distribute tab.

If you don't know how to do this, let us know.

Best,

Peter

Note that a distributed document may not appear immediately in the AccessPoint. Sometimes you'll need a little patience, but not much.

To whom and to what location did you distribute your document? Can you post a screenshot of the Distribute tab?
Does your document have Section Access?

Re: QMC

Peter_Cammaert — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 09:50:21 GMT

The AccessPoint is the portal of QlikView Server. Its contents is managed by QlikView Server. If you want to publish a document in the AP, you should distribute that document to the QlikView Server or your document will get lost.

Publishing to a Folder that has the same path as the Document root of your AccessPoint will NOT produce the same.result. It will simply drop your document somwhere in the file system, and adjust file permissions if needed

Hi Peter,

So from your above post should i understand that it is not having the access to publish this document to Access point ( Have they restricted me the access ) or what you want to say ?

Or do i need make any changes

Re: QMC

Peter_Cammaert — Tue, 12 Sep 2017 10:31:24 GMT

If you don't find an area like the below in your version of the Distribute tab, then yes you are effectively blocked from publishing your document in the AccessPoint.

A Document Administrator has few options at his disposal to configure QlikView Server and/or Distributrion Service. I guess you should ask a QlikView Administrator for help.

HI Peter.

Below is that achment of the screen short of the Distribute tab...

Can you please confirm that i dont have the permission to publish this QVW fie on access point .

Regards

John

There is no attachment "below"...

It's fairly easy. If your Distribute tab has an area with "Distribute to QlikView Server" as title, then you can publish to the AccessPpoint. If your version of the Distribute tab doesn't have that area, then you can't and a QlikView Administrator should configure your document to be published in the AP.
