Share qvd files access between tenants

[Fabiano_Martino_Intelco]

Hi,

we are building a series of apps that need to read from the same set of qvd files.

We intend to create these qvd files using the data gateway connected to a single central tenant that will process the data and create a set of qvd.

We then want to deploy on other tenants the apps.

These app will need to connect to the central tenant and read the needed data from the qvd (filtering as needed).

The question is: can an app on a tenant access the files on another tenant?

If this is not possible, is there an alternative solution?

Thanks

To do this you will need to use external storage such as S3.  There is currently no way to download or export QVDs from Qlik Cloud storage.

And if you are moving to S3, I would suggest trying to use Parquet files instead of QVD files. Parquet files are probable way cheater to store on S3 than QVD files (smaller and faster in most cases).

Thanks for the answers.

Is there a different approach that avoids external storage systems?

Can I load the data in an app in the "Master" tenant and then move/copy/clone the app in another tenant?
