Is the Essbase Connector compatible with Qlik Sense?

[mikegrattan]

I installed the connector on my Qlik Sense server but I do not see it listed as a data connection option.  Please advise.

No answer? I'm interested too

There is no Essbase connector for Qlik Sense. However, what you can do is create the connection using the Essbase connector in QlikView, then paste the script into Qlik Sense. In order for this to work - you will need to disable DATA LOADING Standard mode and revert to Legacy mode - instructions on how to do this are in the online help: Disable Standard Mode.

You can take a look at this post for more information and a video on converting from QlikView to Qlik Sense: Qlik Sense Desktop - Converting a QlikView Data Model (video)

Essbase connector is now built-in with installation

Thanks, I forgot that this question was still open.  I have already been experimenting with the new built-in connector.

Hi Mike,

Have used the Essbase connector to pull the data . I'm trying to do some reporting on Hyperion cube.

looking for the approach how can i do it .Its very laborious to pull the data at the leave level for each and every intersection with reference to smart-view.

Prashanthi,

The Essbase connector isn't the optimal way to pull data into Qlik unless you want to pull specific intersections of data.  Instead, I just use the same tables as the ones for loading my Essbase cube since they are already cleansed and ready to load.
