Apps counted twice in capacity consumption

[Stas_vd_Braber]

Hi all,

The new capacity model of Qlik counts the data for analysis in GB as consumption. This consists of two elements in the management console: 

1. App reload

2. Datafile

Now we encounter some issues with our 'regular' way of working, where the same app is counted twice in capacity consumption. Once with the shared space app and once with the managed space app. Our view of a shared space was that the collaborative editing part was one of its strong points. Therefore, we had the 'source' app in a shared space and the 'published' app in a managed space. With the capacity consumption now counting twice, we are somewhat forced to move the app to a personal space, reload  the app with necessary changes, and then move the app back to the shared space. Reloads in a personal space are not counted in capacity consumption. Furthermore, an app that has been reloaded 2 months ago is still counted as capacity consumption in current month!! In my perspective, a monthly check on consumption should only check that particular month. This implies that even if the shared space app has not been reloaded for months, it still counts twice in capacity consumption. The only fix I found was deleting and re-uploading the app. I cannot imagine that this is the desired way of working! What are your views and best practices on working with this new capacity model?

Script ID and App ID are the same thing. Script ID in this case is just an alias for App ID.

So, you can get the Script ID from the URL or from the Overview tab and look for its value in the App ID field in the Capacity Consumption Report:

Note: in terms of Qlik APIs, all Application Types* have the same Endpoint, the only thing that changes is the Type and how they are implemented in Qlik Cloud Hub.

* The Application Types are Analytics, Data Preparation (Script), Data Flow and Single Table Preparation (this is a new upcoming one).

I understand that these are considered as 2 apps. I only disagree with the fact that these two both are counted in capacity consumption. If you want to avoid capacity consumption with the shared space app, every time you reload the app it needs to be done in personal space. This seems to me like a very inefficient way of working.

I tried to search with Script id in Consumption report. Still not showing any consumption line for it. I think, I am missing something. Let me re-run it & test it again.

This is something interesting. Let me check that if app run in personal space or kept in personal space then it is not counting against consumption capacity.

Hi @Stas_vd_Braber !

The Capacity model has a lot of things to understand, I recommend you to read these links:

Points to review:

1 - Every data that you read from external sources, count

2 - Every data that you store in spaces , count

Bye!
