How to use Qlik NPrinting APIs inside a Qlik Sense load script

[Gianluca_Perin]

Hi all,

attached you'll find a step by step tutorial explaining how to use Qlik Sense (and also QlikView) load script to interact with the Qlik NPrinting APIs.

The examples include:

• Logging in into NPrinting
• Collecting data from NPrinting
• Reloading metadata for a NPrinting connection
• Create, update and delete NPrinting users
• Triggering a NPrinting publish task

This document also shows how to use Qlik Sense Tasks to chain these different events directly from QMC.

This tutorial uses standard Qlik REST Connector.

Please read carefully the requirements before to dig into the actual examples.

Enjoy!

hello, did you check if you are using http or https?

are you using a self signed certificate?

I have tried it out and it seams to working ok for me.

in order to check, you may install Google Chrome ARC extension and see if you succeed to establish an NTLM connection to you NPrinting server.

Thanks for all your support.

I finally found the error. I had written https://strnprint:4993/api/V1/login/ntlm

If you look carfully you see a capital "V". When I changed that to a lower case "v" everyting works

Hi Gustavo,

This seems a bug. To better investigate please open a support ticket. Send us all useful information like the logs and, if possible, a backup of you NPrinting repository.

I change the locale for the users from 'pt-BR' to 'es' and this work correctly, I send a case for review the bug.

I think that nprinting has a problem with the '-' character, this character is present in the locale string and the machine name

[Ruggero_Piccoli]

Thanks for your test, it confirms that it is better to deeper investigate.

BR,

Ruggero

Hi Gianluca,

Great job!

Does Rest API have a row limit?

I connected to NPrinting and load the list of apps using your example.

I've got only 50 rows.

Meanwhile, I have 63 apps.

The same is true for tasks, connections, etc.

Do you know how to extract all the rows?

Best regards,

Sergey
