Uploading QVW Files to Qlik Cloud via Qlik CLI

[theoat]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to automate the upload of QVW files to Qlik Cloud using the Qlik CLI.

The goal is not to convert them, but simply to store them in a space — so they can be accessed, archived, or transferred if needed. These QVW files are reloaded through QlikView Server, and I’d like to upload them to Qlik Cloud afterwards, since QVW files can’t be reloaded directly in Qlik Cloud.

I’ve tried the following command:

qlik app import --file "path-to-my-file.qvw" --space-id <my_space_id>

The import seems to work, but I can’t see the QVW file in the targeted space, not from the Qlik Cloud interface.

However, when I update the name attribute using:

qlik app update 0bed7529-ab4e-429b-a1cf-6de480f34136 --attributes-name "Source Formation Designer"

I get a JSON response showing that the object is recognized as a qvapp:

"attributes": {
  "_resourcetype": "qvapp",
  "name": "Source Formation Designer",
  ...
  "spaceId": "xxxxx",
  "owner": "RED\\user@company.com",
  "usage": "ANALYTICS"
}

Still, I don’t see any trace of the file in Qlik Cloud — not in the apps list, nor in media files.

👉 My question:

Is it possible to upload a QVW file to Qlik Cloud using the CLI for storage or manual access?

@theoat I have only tested this through the QlikView publisher and when you publish to cloud the documents are found under the "staged" in the apps drop down list.
