This document describes a basic configuration of the Governance Dashboard.
Environment:
- QlikView all versions
- Governance Dashboard 2.0.5 and later
It will be necessary to download the latest version of the Governance Dashboard from our download site. To locate the Governance Dashboard download, select Data Analytics. The QlikView Governance Dashboard is an available product in this list.
Open the Dashboard: It will open the Configuration sheet, if not, please select the Configuration sheet in the main menu.
Two options are available to configure the dashboard:
- A script can be used to determine what paths will be scanned,
- or the paths can be manually configured in the Governance Dashboard qvw app UI.
This document describes the use of the UI only in order to provide information about from where the configuration paths can be obtained, if you would like to explore the option utilizing a script the information is available in our Qlik Help portal here.
Configuration using the Governance Dashboard UI
NOTE: The paths in this picture correspond to the default configurations of the Governance Dashboard, it will be necessary to replace those paths with the correct paths following the instructions below.
- Keep disabled the User Configuration and Append Custom PostScript?
- Profile Directory: For this basic configuration, if is desired to store the QVD's generated by the dashboard in an specific location, this would be the place to define the path.
- In the List of File Paths to Scan usually are configured the paths that have QVW and QVD that is necessary to scan with the dashboard, keep in mind that only the paths configured there will appear in the overall collected data and some of that data is necessary for the Applications section analysis.It is possible to configure multiple paths separated by vertical pipes (|). In general the paths configured here are the User Documents folder and the Source Document folder. The paths can be obtained from the QMC as follows:
User Documents folders (mounted folders): QMC --> System --> Setup --> QlikView Servers -->QVS@<name> Folders Tab, Mounted Folders section the Path(s) configured, if there are no Mounted folders configured, the QVW are in the Root Folder so that would be the path to configure.
Source Document folder QMC --> System --> Setup --> Distribution Services -->QDS@<name> General Tab, Source Folder(s) path(s) - Server Log Path(s). Specify the folder path that hosts the QVS logs, the path is found in the QMC at QMC --> System --> Setup --> QlikView Servers -->QVS@<name>, Logging , Log Folder path.
- Publisher Log Path(s). The Publisher log path can be found in the QMC at QMC --> System --> Setup --> Distribution Services -->QDS@<name>, General tab, Settings for QDS section, Application Data Folder path.
- Repository (QVPR) Path(s), The QVPR is by default stored at %programdata%\Qliktech\ManagementService\QVPR (C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\QVPR)
- Save the dashboard once all the paths have been specified and press Ctrl+R to reload the dashboard or using the button available in the Standard menu in QlikView Desktop.
