Hi,
I would appreciate guidelines for achieving the following:
My NP reports are running in production, and the Sense App (e.g. "Sales Reports") is also published in production,
and is the connection for the NP App ("Sales Reports NP").
Now, I have to add new reports, based on changes I'm making in the Sense app "Sales Reports" after publishing it to my work stream ( "Sales Reports DEV").
I would like to develop and test the new reports in "Sales Reports NP", based on the connection "Sales Reports DEV",
and after approval, to refer them to the original connection "Sales Reports".
What is the best way to do it?
Also, what is the best way to update an existing NP report and test it from a development app before updating it in production?
Thanks in advance!
Questions:
Answer:
My way of doing things (I will cover scenario 1 QS server and 1 NP Server) is by:
As mentioned above I use Export/Import/Replace NPrinting features on report which allow me to develop/test and deploy. Those features are obviously well documented in help site which I encourage you to study to get full understanding. https://help.qlik.com/en-US/nprinting/May2022/Content/NPrinting/AdministeringQVNprinting/Import-expo...

Hi @Lech_Miszkiewicz ,
Thanks for your great explanation! (as usual..)
One thing I still don't understand:
If my NP app has two connections, and I create a new report: how do I control the connection used?
I didn't see an option to define the default one?
I know you can select it directly per object.
Thanks!
Hi @dana - During import process you declare connections. It is documented in link I have given you. Also you have whole process explained in this youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBZV6B7r118
Hi @Lech_Miszkiewicz ,
Yes, I understood the point about selecting a connection during an import.
But I was referring to a situation without import:
creating a report for an NP app with 2 or more connections..
Thanks!
Hi @dana ,If you are creating report then it is basically like new report - hence when adding objects to your template there you choose from which connection your object is coming from. As long as you have multiple connection in the same app you will be able to browse amongst them.
Hi,
So this is like I wrote above: I know you can select it directly per object.
Thanks for confirming it as the only option... 🙂
