this is indeed a bit annoying and the answers here did not help,
we're using the mashup option and it keeps disconnecting after 60 seconds of inactivity (not selecting anything in the model),
this is what we get:
"
An error occurred
Connection lost. Make sure that Qlik Sense is running properly. If your session has timed out due to inactivity, refresh to continue working.
"
luckily everything has a work around and a good one (:
so the deal is that as long as you provoke the web socket the connection will stay open, so just provoke it,
this is how its done:
create a variable in your model (Data Load Editor or in the bottom left of the sheet after pressing edit),
now create a KPI and put the variable in the kpi
last thing, put the qlik object on the top page and create a set interval
var qlikapp = null;
require( ["js/qlik"], function ( qlik ) {
qlik.setOnError( function ( error ) {
$( '#popupText' ).append( error.message + "<br>" );
$( '#popup' ).fadeIn( 1000 );
} );
$( "#closePopup" ).click( function () {
$( '#popup' ).hide();
} );
//callbacks -- inserted here --
//open apps -- inserted here --
qlikapp = qlik.openApp('4287ca1c-9b53-45dc-afe2-55f8e69af7f2', config);
//get objects -- inserted here --
qlikapp.getObject('QV01','fkAQBG');
qlikapp.getObject('CurrentSelections','CurrentSelections');
//create cubes and lists -- inserted here --
} );
setInterval('KeepSessionAlive()', 5000);
function KeepSessionAlive() {
if (qlikapp) {
//alert(getTime());
qlikapp.variable.setStringValue('Current Time', getTime());
}
return false;
}
but do you really want to keep the socket open all the time?
this is an optimization question, if all the users use a named license then sure! but what if you convert some of them to Login Access Tokens? (you get 10 hours per month for each license)
this could be a waste of license time, so show some creativity, to my opinion 5 minuets of inactivity counted from the last mouse move on the page for login access user, and unlimited keep alive (until the window is closed for User access) is the best way to go.
this is a basic code for mouse move (i used it in qlikview i frame to keep the login alive):
var keepSessionAliveBool = false;
SetupSessionUpdater();
function SetupSessionUpdater() {
//...set the event that makes the keep alive
var container = $("#QvBody");
container.mousemove(function() {
keepSessionAliveBool = true;
});
container.keydown(function() {
keepSessionAliveBool = true;
});
CheckToKeepSessionAlive();
return true;
}
function CheckToKeepSessionAlive() {
setTimeout("KeepSessionAlive()", 30000); // // 1000 is every second
return true;
}
function KeepSessionAlive() {
CheckToKeepSessionAlive();
if (keepSessionAliveBool) {
window.parent.postMessage("KeepSessionAlive", "*");
keepSessionAliveBool = false;
return true;
}
return false;
}
