App Preload Qliksense

Hi All,

Based on the below link understood by using .net sdk we can store cache after preload the app before first user login.

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/February2019/Subsystems/NetSDKAPI/Content/Sense_NetSDKAP...

Do we need any services to connect this to different platform, if yes then please suggest.

Is there any solution to trigger the .net sdk in qliksense.

 

Thanks,

Gowtham

I don't know if you saw it, but the source code for that cache warmer referred to in the developer help can be found here:

https://github.com/AptkQlik/PublicExamples/blob/master/AppPreload/AppPreload.cs

That file also contains a description of the principle behind the cache warming at the top of the file. That example uses direct connection to a desktop version though, and I assume you want to connect to a server instead. You will find examples for doing different types of connections here:

That ought to work, although I haven't done it.

In the past when I need a slim basic tool to do warming, I've used https://github.com/JoeBickley/CacheInitializer. Attached is a compiled version using the Qlik Sense November 2018 SDK. As for usage, it's pretty straight-forward. An example way of doing it would be.

C:\Temp\TelemetrySaturate\cacheinitiazer>CacheInitializer.exe --help
ConsoleApplication1 1.0.0.0
Copyright c 2015
-s, --server Required. URL to the server.
-a, --appname App to load (using app name)
-i, --appid App to load (using app ID)
-p, --proxy Virtual Proxy to use
-o, --objects (Default: False) cycle through all sheets and objects
-f, --field field to make selections in e.g Region
-v, --values values to select e.g "France","Germany","Spain"
--help Display this help screen.

C:\Temp\TelemetrySaturate\cacheinitiazer>CacheInitializer.exe -s https://servername -i $($app.id) -o

Levi this is awesome, thanks for compiling it for us!

 

I can see this being triggered with the external Program Task QRS API .  What would be great is if we could  chain the end of the app reload task to a an external program Task

Hi @user which QRS endpoint is doing this preloading?  - i was only able to see reload and not preload -  sadly in the file it looks like a "manual" browse of all selections possible and no reference on how to trigger this via the API https://github.com/AptkQlik/PublicExamples/blob/master/AppPreload/AppPreload.cs

 

Any Hints?

@witty : This is done via the Engine API, not the Repository API.

@Levi_Turner is there a reason we cannot trigger this in an easy way by just calling an endpoint after we updated an app? Like why can i trigger a reload/publish via QRS/QPS but not a preload to index and improve speed? So lets say i have to write a new script to do this action - is there a utility class/function I can call in this API by just providing an app id?

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/June2019/APIs/EngineAPI/index.html

Additionally can you comment on these "Caches" if I use section access in the app - do i need to do one cache process per section access combination or is the cache valid for any section access "view" if I ran it as a user that as "*" or "admin" access to the app?

Hi Levi,

When using CacheInitializer how do I cycle through all the sheets and cache them? I notice -o defaults to false how do I set it to true? 

Thanks
