Qlik Web Connectors not available in Qlik Hub

[Technolero]

I'm new to Qlik, and I'm probably missing something, but I cannot find anything in the documentation about my issue.

We have a single node Windows server running Qlik Sense, and I have installed the Web Connectors on the same server. I configured the Web Connectors exactly according to the documentation, and everything is up and running.

I assumed that after I restarted all of the Qlik services that the Web Connectors that I installed would be available in the Qlik Hub when I try to choose a data source in my app, but I am only seeing the out of the box Qlik Sense Enterprise Connectors. How do I make the Web Connectors available (such as the S3 connector)?

Hi @Technolero 

On Qlik Sense Enterprise the Qlik Web Connectors are quite loosely coupled, and don't appear in the connections list.

You need to create a Web File connection and then call that from the load script, with parameters that can be found in the Qlik Web Connectors web portal.

Go to http://servername:5555/, find the connector you want to use and fill in the parameters.

Click the button to run the query and you should see some results on the right hand side. There is also a tab for Qlik Sense (Standard Mode). Click this and you will find some code to copy and paste into your load script, and a bit more help text.

Hope that helps.

Hi Steve,

after getting code from connector form qliksense(standard mode),how to create connection from web file?

under url - http://servername:5555/ and connection name will be ex: connector test

after creating connection need to create one url at top of the script let qvconnectionname=''  what should be the varaibale either server url or connection name(lib://connect test)?

HI @Qlik-Developer 

It will be the name of the Web File connector that you set up to point to your QWC server. So, if you named your connection QWC it would be:

let vQwcConnectionName = 'lib://QWC';

Make sure that you are getting things correct with regards to case sensitivity (I note you have qvconnectionname) above.

HI steve,

trying like same connection name is connectortest

let vQwcConnectionName = 'lib://connectortest';

but while loading throwing error like connection is not established?

[stevedark]

What do you get if you just use the Select Data button for that connection?

Did you check the URL that you plumbed into the connectortest connection?

connection is not established,yes i have created with http://servername:5555
