Qlik Cloud Data Gateways with Gateway type as Direct Access

[ShashiKumarV]

Hi All,

I am trying to automate installing Data gateways in all our servers for direct access type using Ansible, however I dont see any article related to it. Also, I am checking is there a way we can automate using Qlik CLI.

Hello Shashi, I think that there aren't commands within qlik CLI. 

May I ask you why you need to install the Gateway in all your services instead of installing it in one machine and then open connection from there?

Hi Federico,

Thanks for your reply.

Not sure, I understand your question. However, let me breakdown my requirement, So we have 8 servers 4 for development and 4 for production, so whenever there is a new upgrade available I need to upgrade the same in all servers and keyin the output from command prompt to against all the servers in Qlik Cloud url under data gateways. I was looking into Ansible if the same can be achieved and yes installing (manually download and share the file across the servers) and copying the cmd prompt script to notepad can be done but copy and add directly into Cloud url.

if you could elaborate your answer it would be helpful.

Download the Gateway installer (MSI) from Qlik.

Copy the installer to each server

Run the installer silently (msiexec /i "DataGateway.msi" /quiet /norestart)

Register the gateway (this part may need a token you generate manually or through API)

 Use Qlik APIs or Qlik CLI later to:

Check if the gateways are working

Assign them to spaces or apps

In short
Install Gateway automatically
Register Gateway to Qlik
Full automation end-to-end
