Section access after a domain chage

alexandermorale — Thu, 14 Jan 2016 21:41:03 GMT

Hi I need some help, here's the situation, my qlik app has section access enabled with my domain name user as admin, but after the domain of my company was changed obviously I can't open the file anymore, I tried to log on the old domain but in tha scenario then qlikview appears as personal edition and says that the file was recovered many times than the personal edition allows and i can't open it.

Any idea to recover the file?

Can you login as the local QV service user? I assume and hope you have added this account to section access.

edit:

Also if you are still able to login with the old account, but you only get a personal edition license, maybe you just need to get a leased licence from the server as this user, then open the QVW with section access.

Unfortunately I didn't, the old domain server isn't in the same network as the qlik server thats why i can't get the lease, so I'm thinking to configure another qlik server in the old domain just to get the lease and fix the section access.

Hi alexander

As Swuelh said, you have to lease license from server

Maybe you don't need a license to open, reload and save the document without section access.

Get a pc in the old domain with a logon that is present as ADMIN in the section access table of the document you want to "recover". Make sure that this pc never had QV Desktop installed, or has some recovery attempts left. Open the document as the ADMIN user (recovering its content along the way), edit the script, disable Section Access by putting this single statement in comments and reload. Store the document.

AFAIK Section Accesss and License management don't interfere, so even without license but still using the original NT identity, you should be able to get in. No need to install a QVS.

Best,

Peter

Thank you, that was my first approach but I got the same.

You mean, you did use a PC in the old domain on which you never logged on before, authenticated using your old NT account (the one from section access ADMIN user), installed a brandnew QV Desktop, started it up in PE mode and tried to open your document using a single recovery attempt?

If so, then what error did you get?

That's right i got the message that the document was created at another computer and has been converted too many times. Finally I did the qlikserver installation on the old domain, got the lease and removed section access.

Thank you
