Not up to date DataFiles folder structure

[fldc2500]

Hi all,

I'm working on streamlining some QVD's in the DataFiles folder on Qlik SaaS. I'm noticing that my folders that I create through storing QVD's are not visible when I open the DataFiles folder to navigate through them when I want to lookup the QVD's for my app. However when I change the path manually I am able to get to that folder.

My question is how I can synchronize the folders again. Is that supposed to be done automatically? Or is there some workflow that is in place to synchronize the folder structure.

I hope someone can help me.

Kind regards

Hi @fldc2500 ,

Can you please share your STORE statement and a screen shot of your DataFiles folder (from the Hub > Space > Data Files) with the folders in it?

Hi @marksouzacosta ,

my store statement is: STORE TableName INTO [lib://:DataFiles/2. Transform/Ximmio/TableName.qvd] (qvd);

This app resides in the space Dataprocessing.

If I check the folder structure from the hub like you suggest I see:

However when I'm editing a script of an app and I need to add a qvd from this source and I want to find it through DataFiles, I see this:

 

Now I only see three folders instead of all four that I should have. Because of legacy there are many qvds in this path so scrolling through it is a pain. Furthermore alfabetic order is also not something what is happening here because my current folders are still on the top.
I can manually edit the path to find the folder I want, but that is not ideal.

Your STORE Statement is not specifying a Space name:

STORE TableName INTO [lib://:DataFiles/2. Transform/Ximmio/TableName.qvd] (qvd);

In this case, the app that is executing the STORE statement must be in the Dataprocessing Space. Can you please confirm that?

If the app that is storing the QVD is in a different Space, you must qualify the Space in your Store statement . Example:

STORE TableName INTO [lib://Dataprocessing:DataFiles/2. Transform/Ximmio/TableName.qvd] (qvd);

Yes, I can confirm that the app that is storing this data is in the Dataprocessing space.

Is there anyone else who might be able to help?
