Build QVF

[xyz_1011]

Hi all,

i've been plaing around with the QV2QS converter and got stuck.

Due to restrictions i can use the converter only in "Local only" mode. After conversion of a QVW i ended up with several files and folders. Is there a way to build a QVF from this and manually upload it to my tenant afterwards ? And if yes: How would i do this ?

Thanks for your support upfront!

hi @xyz_1011 ,

If I get you right, you probably have the QVW files converted to a "unbuild" version of a QVF file: a collection of folders, JSON and YML and other files.

If that is the case, you can use the Qlik-CLI to build the application in your Qlik Cloud tenant:
https://qlik.dev/toolkits/qlik-cli/app/app-build/

First you have to create an empty application in the tenant - to get the ID - than you can run the qlik app build commend above using the right parameters.

Qlik CLI may look scary at first sign but trust me, is quite fun to play with it. Don't give up!

Hi @marksouzacosta ,

thanks a lot for the tip! What would be the right parameters ? (Sorry, i am a bit lost with this tool.) And what will i end up with ? As an input i gave the converter a QVW with a reduced data model. Will i have this data in my QVF after building it again ? (Reload will not work for now, as the original QVW requires several QVDs that yet have to be built on my tenant.)

Thanks again!
