QDT with unc path

Hi all!

According to the docs QDT is supposed to support unc paths with "watched Data folders".

When configured, in May 2021 SR1, the only way to get anything uploaded is a manually triggered "Upload".

All updates performed after that will be ignored and a new manual triggering will upload all files again, regardless of status.

I've built a simple Chokidar (most likely the package used in QDT) solution in node.js to monitor the same folder (according to the Chokidar docs the path needed to be updated by replacing all \ with /). All events fires so I know that the events occur but QDT does not pick them up or act on them.

Since QDT isn't supposed to run on the QVS-machine the files must be accessed via an unc path. 

Any advice or help is appreciated. 

TIA

Hi @Skage 

QDT is a great tool, but it fails in some cases... Can you try my powershell script to upload local files and adapt it to your need. Check this at https://github.com/pbergo/qlik-saas-utils

Good luck,

Pedro
