Hi,
In our dashboard we used the binary load statement, followed by an app id. A couple of days ago we've upgraded our qlik sense environment and this isn't working anymore. We need to use the appname, followed by extension qvf..
However, I can't find those "named" qvf files on our server. We only have the files with an AppId as identifier.
For sake of completeness, I've added the things I've tried so far:

Any other ideas?

Hi Matheus,
Thanks for your reply. I've already found that post, but the issue is, I can't get that solution working... I can't find the location on the fileserver where the named apps with extension qvd are stored, can only find the direction with the app-ids.
Any clue on how to solve this?

I’ve run into this before binary loads can be a bit tricky when it comes to app naming. One thing that helped me was making sure the app name doesn’t include any special characters or spaces, and that the path is exactly right. This thread might also help: Binary Load not working due to naming issue. Hope that points you in the right direction!
Hi @mattewwade06 ,
Thanks for your response. I do have spaces in the name so that could be part of the problem. But the other part I'm looking for is that I don't know the path. It isn't the same as where the qvd's are stored with id, is it?

PS. It looks like the link you've included doesn't work. Can you send the full link?
The description details the options:

Yep, already saw (and tried that). Let me add the things I've tried.

Any other ideas?
From the App Url eg: /sense/app/66f9d8bb-5065-41df-9f59-5f240fc21633 get the code at the end eg 66f9d8bb-5065-41df-9f59-5f240fc21633 use this to place at start of the script
Binary [66f9d8bb-5065-41df-9f59-5f240fc21633];
This should work.

Hi,
Since the release of may 2025, this doesn't work anymore. The name of the app must be used.

The application appears to be on another server. Have you tried exporting the application via QMC do you have access?
