How can we find back the QVD file is belongs to which applications?

[SKai]

I currently have more than 2,000 Qlik Sense applications, and I need to trace back a specific QVD file to identify which application generated it, as I need to modify the source app.

Action Taken
I used the following load script to read the QVD header and extract the CreatorDoc field:

LOAD

CreatorDoc

FROM [lib://filepath/xxx.qvd]
(XmlSimple, Table is [QvdTableHeader]);

Issue Encountered

The value returned under CreatorDoc appears as a unique identifier (e.g., ff156753-66e8-4a2c-1237-af55044a1735) rather than the actual application name. As a result, I’m still unable to determine which specific Qlik Sense application created the QVD.

Look for this string in QMC under App  in the column ID..

Use https://easyqlik.com/csviewer/ for your expiration of QVD's

I endorse @robert_mika 's suggestion. The code you see is the application id, and you can find it in the QMC/Apps as mentioned.

You could also try accessing it directly via an url, adjust the base of the following url to fit your environment.
