Installing Qlik GeoAnalytics Plus

[Bjorn_Wedbratt]

Prerequisites:

• 64-bit Java JRE 1.7 or higher
• GeoAnalytics connector (extension), at least version 1.3.0. To verify this open the connector in Qlik Sense or Qlik View.
  • Installing Qlik GeoAnalytics for QlikView Server
  • Installing Qlik GeoAnalytics Extensions for Qlik Sense Enterprise

Checking GeoAnalytics extension versions:

Qlik Sense:

Under Data load editor > Create new connection > Qlik GeoAnalytics Connector
The version should be visible in the top right of the connect dialog

QlikView:

Under Edit script > IdevioGeoAnalyticsConnector.exe > Connect...
The version should be visible in the top right of the connect dialogue

In order to update your GeoAnalytics connector install the appropriate version of Qlik GeoAnalytics extensions.

 Please ensure that the Server URL is changed to http://ga.qlikcloud.com if an old Idevio server address is observed.

 GeoAnalytics Plus must be installed on same machine where GeoAnalytics Connector (Extension) is running
