Once Qlik sens enterprise is connected to a database such as SQL server etc that continually is updated with information, say, from a point of sales..... do the dashboards in Qlik sense/view also automatically get updated once created???
Hi
a connection to data source will allow you to load data from this data source when you run load function in your Qlik app
the connection doesn't mean live streaming of data,
Qlik app is loading the data and then creating data model in memory to allow fast queries to users
for specific use cases you can use direct query that will query the data base for each user action in the Qlik app
and won't work in memory
If you want more near-to-real-time updates you can employ any of these techniques:
1) Setting up a reload every n'th minute
2) Using "Direct Discovery" to connect to the data source. It is sort of a legacy technique but it still works ... sort of ... with some limitations.
3) Using "Server Side Extensions" (SSE) you can use Python as an intermediary to get "live" data from for instance SQL Server. SSE is also used with AAI (Advanced Analytics Integration) but not limited to AAI.
4) Using "On Demand Apps" also known as ODAG
Thanks a lot. I will employ this method. Regards
