Where is QVD located?

[rittermd]

In my script I have the following line:

STORE UserAuthorization INTO [lib://QVDFolder/USERAUTHORIZATION.QVD] (qvd);

Where is QlikSense actually putting this file on the server?  I can't find it.

Find out what the path of the QVDFolder folder connection is in the QMC: Editing data connections ‒ Qlik Sense

In QlikView all we had to do was create the folder on the server and then have the Load statement point to it.

Obviously Qlik Sense is different.

So do I need to create a data connection pointing to this QVDFolder first and then add that to my app to load the QVD?

One more thing.  I put the QVDFolder in the Sense folder under ProgramData on the server.  When I try to create a folder connection the ProgramData folder is not visible. 

Is that the way it is supposed to be or am I doing something wrong.

Figured it out.  I needed to create a Data Connection to a folder location and then run my extract app to store the QVD there.  Then I could load it from another app using that Data Connection.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
