"Can Execute External Programs" in Qlik Sense

Hi all,

I was wondering about the following.

Previously I have built several QlikView applications which make use of Windows command functions (e.g. "EXECUTE cmd.exe /c del $(File)"). In order to let this work smoothly, I enabled the setting "Can Execute External Programs" in the Script Editor sub-menu.

I would to transfer the script to a Qlik Sense application. Transferring the script is not a big deal but where can I find this option in Qlik Sense?

I understand for Qlik Sense you will need to modify the Settings.ini  file located in the folder

(add

[Settings 7]

OverrideScriptSecurity=1

)

However, I see this is not working as I still get the following error:

EXECUTE statement not available in this script mode.

Someone any idea whats going on? Please note the entire script is working fine in QV.

Regards,

Stefan
