How to connect Qlik SaaS to QVDs stored on the NAS drive on premise?

[lwp89]

Hello Experts,

We are moving from Qlik Sense On Prem to Qlik SaaS and all our QVDs are stored on a file server on Premise.

When we move our Apps to Qlik SaaS, we would like the app to connect to the QVDs stored on NAS drive on our server.

The Data Connection option Qlik SaaS does not have any option to create a Folder Path data connection. Please advise how to achive that

Hi @lwp89 

The Qlik SaaS only connect to a Cloud Storage, like S3 or Google Drive, a Database wich has been exposed to the net and REST APIs. See the connections at Source section at any space. 

Qlik SaaS is a DataLake, you'll need to ingest your files to an Space, then you can use it at an app script at Qlik SaaS.

Use QDT - Qlik Data Transfer to upload your QVD files; More details at https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/QlikDataTransfer/qlik-da...

Good luck,

Pedro
