Sending Filter Information to External Application in QlikCloud

Dear Qlik Users,

I have an issue with transferring information from a Qlik Cloud Report to a third-party system (Jedox) which is in turn embedded in the Qlik Cloud report as an iFrame.

we implemented a solution in QlikSense a while ago and in this system the solution still works. As a few months ago we migrated our BI system to Qlik Cloud, this connection does not work anymore. More specifically we have created a custom object in QlikSense back then which is a particular site from a Jedox Web application (https://).

The aim is to transfer information from an applied filter box in Qlik to that system via a self-written Java script. Jedox should apply this information and the iFrame in Qlik should then show data based on the selection in the Qlik filter box. The custom object has also been migrated to Qlik Cloud and is functioning and visible in the application. However, the information from the filter is not transferred to the third-party Jedox system.

Has anybody tried to transfer filter-Information from Qlik to an external system? The problem only appears in Qlik Cloud.

I would be grateful for any help as we are unable to fix this issue now.

Tim

May I ask what is the API on Jedox side? Are you using Jedox oData Hub?

Hi Lucas,

I suppose this is might not be a typical API... The selection in the Qlik filter box is transferred via a Java Script to Jedox using a https path. In Jedox Web we have a .wss file which shows Data based on a picklist, derived with a palo.subset...(palo.picklist(...)) formular. This picklist calls information from Qlik. We suppose the problem might be caused by a business-internal firewall but are unable to locate it at this point. I was wondering if anybody has ever done this, transferring filter box information to an external system.
