Qlik Cloud Consumption report: identify file by Data File ID

[Daniele_Purrone]

How do I understand which file the data ID in the capacity consumption report refers to?

In the Consumption Report app, we can only view the Data File ID of a data set that generated Data for Analysis. The file name is not shown.

Environment

• Qlik Cloud Analytics

There are two possible ways to achieve this. One is to directly leverage the API, the other is to use qlik-cli.

Using the API

1. Build a URL in the following format:
   
   https://TENANT.REGION.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/data-files/DATA-FILEID
   
   Where: TENANT.REGION is your tenant name and region, and DATA-FILEID is the Data FileID you wish to retrieve details for.
   
   Example: /api/v1/data-files/59c41e71-e6b1-4d9e-8334-da48fd2f91ba
   
   
2. Enter the URL in a supported browser.
   
   
3. You can now retrieve the file name and any other details:
   
   
   
   
4. Search the resulting filename in your tenant's Catalog.

Using the qlik-cli

For information on how to get started with Qlik-cli, see: Qlik-cli overview.

1. Open Qlik-CLI
   
   
2. In the command prompt, enter:
   
   qlik data-file get DATA-FILEID
   
   Example:
   
   qlik data-file get 59c41e71-e6b1-4d9e-8334-da48fd2f91ba
   
   
   
   
3. Search the resulting filename in your tenant's Catalog.

Tip!

To extract all file IDs and related file names, type the following into the Qlik-CLI command prompt:

qlik data-file ls
