Create Folder

[ift_isabelle]

I want the following folderstructure at my server to store the QVD's.

• STAGE
  • Client1
    • Source 1
    • Source 2
    • Source 3
    • ....
  • Client2
    • Source 1
    • Source 2
    • Source 3
    • ....

Problem is that if I add a new source I need to make a folder with that name in every client folder. With 2 clients, that is not an problem. But with 200, it gets a lot of work.

Is there a way to create a folder, when it doens't exist, with the Qlik Sense script?

Thanks in advance,

Isabelle

Hi,

Its better to get them created using the batch file instead of using Qlik Script.

Have a look at the below video for more help.

That's also a very good option. But that doesn't answer my question: Is it possible in the Qlik Sense script?

Hi,

Yes you can do this, but you can do this on Qlik Sense Desktop using Execute command.

Execute cmd.exe /C mkdir c:\test

Also look at below link.

Hi Isabelle,

The short answer is "Qlik Sense does not allow you to create folder" but I found this thread explaining how to do it, if you really want to do that, follow this link: https://community.qlik.com/thread/197902‌; you may also want to read this article: https://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2015/08/07/qlik-sense-legacy-mode

Hope this helps

In the latest versions, Qlik Sense server does create folders.

And how ? 🙂 Do you have a script snippet?
