How to Enable Insight Advisor in app using API in Qlik sense?

[Manoj_Prabu]

Hi Community,

I'm trying to Enable the Insight Advisor in app using API. Is it possible? If so please share how.

This is for Enabling manually => Enable Apps for Insight Advisor 

I need to Enable using API.

Thanks

Hello @Manoj_Prabu 

Yes, this is possible using the Engine API.

Actually, enabling the Insight Advisor chat is just a matter of creating a variable called "crossAppsSearchEnabled" inside the app and setting the value to 1.

So a rough workflow to have it enabled would be:

1. Open app

{
	"method": "OpenDoc",
	"handle": -1,
	"params": [
		"5c7b09cb-4b8e-4c37-af79-48c0fa4a3da8"
	],
	"id": 2
}

2. Create variable

{"delta":true,"handle":1,"method":"CreateVariableEx","params":[{"qInfo":{"qType":"variable"},"qName":"crossAppsSearchEnabled","qDefinition":"1","qComment":"","tags":[]}],"id":36,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}

3. Get Variable by name, you will get back the id a handle to use to set the properties in step 4

{"handle": 1,"method": "GetVariableByName","params": ["crossAppsSearchEnabled"]}

Response example (pay attention to "qHandle" and genericObjectId:

{
	"jsonrpc": "2.0",
	"id": 4,
	"delta": true,
	"result": {
		"qReturn": {
			"qType": "GenericVariable",
			"qHandle": 2,
			"qGenericType": "variable",
			"qGenericId": "08d8cef2-b1e1-418f-acb8-5e111b78feb5"
		}
	}
}

4. Set variable properties

{
	"handle": 2,
	"method": "SetProperties",
	"params": [
		{
			"qInfo": {
				"qId": "08d8cef2-b1e1-418f-acb8-5e111b78feb5",
				"qType": "variable"
			},
			"qMetaDef": {},
			"qName": "crossAppsSearchEnabled",
			"qComment": "",
			"qNumberPresentation": {
				"qType": "U",
				"qnDec": 10,
				"qUseThou": 0,
				"qFmt": "",
				"qDec": "",
				"qThou": ""
			},
			"qIncludeInBookmark": false,
			"qDefinition": "1",
			"tags": []
		}
	],
	"id": 6,
	"jsonrpc": "2.0"
}

5. Reload the app

{
	"handle": 1,
	"method": "DoReloadEx",
	"params": {
		"qParams": {
			"qMode": 0,
			"qPartial": false,
			"qDebug": false,
			"qReloadId": ""
		}
	}
}

6. Save the app

{
	"handle": 1,
	"method": "DoSave",
	"params": {
		"qFileName": ""
	}
}

Done.

Here is some documentation on how to use the Engine API, this is a JSON-RPC websocket API
