I’m testing the QlikView to Qlik Sense Converter Tool (QV2QS v1.3) in a Qlik Sense Enterprise on-premise environment (no Qlik Cloud).
I was able to generate the PRJ/JSON artifacts from a QVW using --generatePrj and --unbuildOnly, but when trying to export a QVF, the tool requires Qlik Cloud authentication. Using --unbuildOnly skips Cloud but prevents QVF generation, and combining both options leads to a conflict.
Is there any supported way to generate a Qlik Sense .qvf locally (on-prem) from the PRJ/JSON output without relying on Qlik Cloud?
This tool is designed to move QlikView dashboards to Qlik Cloud, not to Qlik Sense Enterprise on-premise. This is explained in different places, like the first point of the terms and conditions, in the migration center and the help page:
Hence, it is mandatory to have a Qlik Cloud tenant in order to run the converter.
With the QVF generated it is possible to move to Qlik Sense Enterprise, but it is not granted that it works well due to Qlik Cloud uses some different objects than Qlik Sense Enterprise and some of them could not be converted properly.
This probably isn't what Qlik intended, but you could set up a trial account in Cloud to test this out, or contact your Qlik partner/reseller to see if you can have one temporarily set up for this purpose.
