Moving to Qlik Cloud

[Crichter141]

Is there a structure to transitioning from Qlik Enterprise to Qlik Cloud?  I have plenty of specific questions which I go to the help for answers for, but what I'm looking for is something like a checklist that says...hey this is how you move from one platform to the other.  Step 1) Inventory your apps..... Step 100) you're ready to start up in the new platform. 

Not how to build an app or that from scratch (we're not there yet). 

How to move existing things over - including security and things that were managed in the QMC.  Test scripts to be sure the environment apps are all there, etc.  With other vendors I have had a technical contact at the software company who answers questions as we go live.  There's just a lot of internet pages to go through to find the answers.

We're working with a partner - but I feel like some of you that have gone through this update and might have some  useful suggestions.  I feel like either I don't have the verbiage right or that the tool(s) don't exist. 

Thank you for any help you can give!

Good morning @Crichter141 ,

Have you had a look at Migrating from Client-Managed Qlik Sense | Migration Center Help already?

This a very useful resource.

Cheers,

Hi Albert, Thank you for replying.   I have been to the migration center.  But it's not the format/content I was thinking of.   I was looking for something more technical - a 'How-to' if you will.

I see this as an opportunity to improve the existing data structure - things I would want to know for example - not limited to this list:

1.  What are best practices for Qlik Cloud?  Overall structure. 

Test environment, UAT, Production - best place to put each (shared spaces, managed spaces) I think I know but

if I'm wrong this is quite hard to restructure in flight.

2.  Security Structure?  By Role or by Individual users (I so hope role)

3.  What about 3rd party users?  How are they address, or is this something we need to stay on Enterprise for?

4.  Is there a go-live check list to address in what order the build is to be done?  (back to how-to)

5.  Has Qlik put together any tools to reference?  Project mgmt tools for a go-live, etc.

I sent you a PM with one more question.  Taking that one offline.  Thanks again!
