Hello, Gurus,
I have, but I think we all have or will have an issue with the new restriction on binary. On November 24, patch 7, Qlik forbids reading data from the automatically generated folder, which manages the created Qlik Sense Client Managed applications (\\<QlikSharedFolder>\Apps). They said this is a security vulnerability, but I can't find a solution for how to binary load data from another application.
I was trying to do this with the support team, but their solution is to export app into another folder, and then use load data with binary.
The nice thing is that Qlik still uses the old way in Qlik Cloud.
What is your opinion about that?
Regards, Dimitar
I don't understand why Qlik Sense client managed does not support Binary load by id as Qlik Cloud does.

Hi, Rob,
Do you check it?

I have not asked anyone at Qlik about this. Maybe someone from Qlik will weigh in here.

Can't you just create a data connection that points to the apps folder and do a binary load using that? The documentation doesn't describe any restrictions like the one you mention, nor does the release notes for nov24 patch 7.
@henrikalmen To my knowledge the apps folder is unreliable. My latest install of Qlik Sense with the new Postgres no longer stores anything in the Apps folder. Also, there were knowledge base articles in Support warning against using Apps die to file io collisions.
It seems I'm misunderstanding something. By "apps folder" I meant the one defined in QMC->Service Cluster->App folder, i.e. where QSEoW stores the binary files for qlik sense apps. Bút I haven't actually used binary load since QlikView, so I realise I'm probably not up to date with how these things works - but I assumed it would work something like this (that I found just now when googling this issue). Confusing though that it seems that Qlik hasn't announced a difference in how binary loads are handled, but @prodanov says Qlik support team confirmed it in a conversation.
Hi, @rwunderlich @henrikalmen , how are you doing in Qlik Sense On Premise environment solution like this: Data Model (updated every day) and many end user applications based on this Data Model?
Hi you can do binary load it's a "security feature" that Qlik added with the aforementioned patch. You can disable it in the engine's system.ini located C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine with
[Settings 7]
EnableQvfPathValidation=0
and restart services

I suppose it depends on what the data model looks like, but for me: I store transformed tables as qvd:s and load those qvd files into the apps that need them.
