App republishing

[Oggy172]

Hi all,

Current we adopt an approach of a Shared space for a handful of 'developers' and then various managed spaces for the end users.

The same document can be published to 6+ spaces, and we have them all on their own reload schedule - which seems very wasteful.

Is there a way that when a reload is complete, it's published automatically (with data) to the managed spaces, so I hit the DB once and distribute that data to multiple targets? 

I tried with an automation, but it just keeps creating new iterations of the report each time.

I can't believe that the accepted process is to have multiple hits on the source db?

Why are you hitting the DB instead of creating a qvd file using an ETL01 application? I think that you can create a task chain with the ETL01 as a starting point followed by the presentations.

I'm not?

We have a large volume of apps that are solely used for datasources to output qvd's.

These qvd's are then called into apps that are subsequently published out, but if these apps are in many spaces, then these published apps all need their own reload schedule (as i understand it) - it just seems wasteful, even if they are only calling qvd's they are still repeatedly performing the same task as each other.

It seems nonsensical, when my Shared space app could reload and push them out, but it doesnt.

Perfect I understand, so the next question is: why are the app in different spaces? I could suggest to put the application into a single managed space and then use the share function in qlik cloud to share the single app with user or group of user. 

It could work for your environment?

Hi @Oggy172,

You need to publish the app using Run Mode Re-Publish.
This should replace the app with the same name in your target managed stream.
Also the Data option set to source.

Hi @williejacobs 

I don't have Run Mode?

Maybe look at using the Qlik Platform Operations Tile.

[Oggy172]

Yep,

I have that, but I have absolutely no idea what my client secret is for Qlik 

[williejacobs]

Create a new one under Administration, OAuth Web.

Thanks @williejacobs 

Managed to get so far, but the Publish/Republish connector errors now 😕 

The oauth is configured ok and I'm able to get space data/user data using it, so I'm confident it is ok, it has full web permissions set in the Oauth section.

It's a very simple flow, list an apps reloads, if one is success and contains todays date (vToday) then republish

I get this error, 404 page not found?
