Our environment consists of 4 servers:
The developers do not have any access to UAT and PROD but have full access on DEV and QA.
I need to figure out how to promote from one environment to the next.
On-Demand is no issue as it can use expressions.
I am concerned about a few things here:
Does anyone have any thoughts on how I can copy these from one environment to the next without manually changing the connection, report path and task output folder?
We will need to script the file copy operation for the security team to run just like we do when promoting QVWs.

you're right.. my bad... You can use %DefaulQlikViewServer% as you're qvp's you QVWs. Here is a very good documents on that as well.

But if you're using SAN drive then you would have to make changes in nsq file.
I am making progress on this.
Instead of storing the .NSQ and templates on the QlikView servers I should be able to store them on the Nprinting server and then use relative paths for the output folder and template path but will still have to change the QlikView connection each time.
Now I have to get creative and see if I can use an environment variable to specify the path kind of like using %temp%
but still you have to open *.nsq file in each environment after deployment which I don't like it. It should have a function to read connection from a text file just like Qlikview.
Do you have to open the NSQ file in each environment?
Lets keep it simple and talk about the connection for now.
If the server has an environmental variable setup called %DefaulQlikViewServer% which is the default server and is different on each environment are you certain that we still have to open the NSQ on each environment?
I have nothing to substantiate that it would work other wise but a theory and need to test it over the next few days.
if so this is going to create a big problem for me.

I am sorry I don't follow why if using SAN instead of local storage on the Nprinting Server you will have to change the NSQ file.
Maybe it's in your post ill read the link now.
Sorry now I think I have it.
You mean if opening via UNC instead of QVP then you have to open the NSQ.
