Hi there,
we are currently discussing the "right" way of granting users access to our applications.
Some say users should always open applications from server and others favor opening the applications from a network path.
Opening from server is for sure a good thing to always have a leased license but it affects the performance of the applications. In some applications it takes several seconds to update the dashboard after filtering for examples customers or dates.
Another problem is the offline use of the applications. I don't think it is a comfortable way to manually copy the files to your local disc when you want to go on a business trip.
I prefer opening the application always from the local disc. Therefore we have a script (cmd-file) that checks if there is a connection to the server. If so the application is copied from the network path to the users local disc and is the opened from the local path. If the user is offline the local file is opened that was copied the last time a server connection was existing.
Basically this is what we want but unfortunately the cmd-file does not work properly (the license renewal does not really work).
How do your users work offline and are they always opening files from the server when they are connected to the server?
Thanks for your input and best regards,
Chris
The recommended way is to access QlikView applications via the browser and the zero footprint Ajax client, providing you have a QlikView Server license.
There are several advantages:
This access method is used by most customers.
Offline access can be given in the following ways:
Kai, thanks for your answer.
We could use the acces point, but this way does not work for offline use.
Or is there a way to "save" the application to your disc?
Thanks,
Chris
I updated my response above re offline use. See the last section.
