How can we open a file from shared folder

[kalisha89]

Hi All,

Could please help me out to reach shared drive from qlik sense.

ex:- I have a shared path and I wanted to open that shared path using Qlik sense(Hyper link concept). I'm able to open the URL and not able to open shred path.

Please find the path '//zsczchkjsdsdtc00311.org-dc.abc.com/CZ1/Myfolder/'

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

This issue might be, because of folder access to Qlik sense service user.

Check Qlik sense service user has the access to that folder. Proper access might solve the issue.

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. 

Yes, I have the access to the shared drive and qlik sense service account also has the access for the same.

I tried multiple ways and it is giving the error "folder or directory is not available" . but we do have the files in the shared location.

Could you please guide me the steps to resolve the issue. 

Thank you.

Hi kalisha,

Do your Qlik sense server has the access to the shared folder?

I am assuming the folders are accessible from server where qlik is installed.

Please check that does the folder has some access rule defined. 

Just for check try below step :-

Just share a folder with everyone access and check that shared folder is accessible in Qlik.

If that folder is accessible then the folder you are trying to share have user access issue.

Hi Prashant,

Yes, My Qlik sense server has the access to the shared drive. 

is it mandatory to install the Qlik server with same shared drive to achieve this?

ex: my shared path is  '//asbdssddjd.org-dc.qtl.com/CM1/'. and im getting the error is "

404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."

and also, it is adding http://// automatically. Please help me out.

Regards,

Kalisha.

Hi Kalisha,

As you are saying if your qlik sense server has the access of shared drive then the error you are saying should not faced.

i think there is some configuration issue while sharing the drive.

Just for check try below step :-

Just share a folder with everyone access and check that shared folder is accessible from Qlik Sense server.

And i am considering both the shared drive and Qlik server are in the same network.

Hi ,

I am also facing same issue as described in the above comments, I tried using button, Text & Image objects to link a share drive, which is already mapped in my quicksense server, But when i am trying to link with above objects it is prefixing https:// before the share drive path (\\), due to which i am not able to open the share drive.

Not sure if there is a way to exclude default prefix (https://) or any other alternate to open a share drive location through any qlik objects, Thanks.

Hi Bhavesh,

We normally use the shared drive path in our load script. first check if the drive is accessible through the Qlik service user account.

Below sample code.

load *

from ['\\networkpath\folder1\folder.xlsx']

or

load *

from [https://networkpath/folder1/folder.xlsx]

this should work.
