BigQuery with a Google service account

[oscar_olaya]

Hi!

I've established connections to BigQuery with normal Google accounts and it works correctly

Now, I need to connect to BigQuery with a Google service account, is that possible?

Thank you

Hi Oscar,

Service account is not yet supported for Qlik Google BigQuery connector. Qlik is working on implementing this feature.

Meanwhile, you can use Simba ODBC driver for Google BigQuery, which supports Google service account.  More info in this article: https://support.qlik.com/articles/000057648

Hope this helps!

Hi Nguyen, Thanks for your help. After i installed certificate ,getting another error. How can i overcome this issue? Please suggest

Thanks in advance.

As the error message suggests, configuration parameters Catalog and RefreshToken are missing in your connection.
After pasting the confirmation code, you need to click "Validate". This will convert the code to a token for further communication with Google BigQuery.
You will also need to select a Catalog (Project) in the dropdown below "Confirmation Code" before testing / creating the connection

Hej Vu,

Is there any update on this development? 

I have not been able to find any info on this matter.

Is SIMBA ODBC still the recomended solution ?

Best Regards

Hi, 

There are a couple of ways to connect to BigQuery. Depends on what you need and especially your requirements to performance. 

Looking for high performance you should probably look toward the Big Data connector for BigQuery. With this one you can also seperate the different service accounts:
