Bulk Conversion of QVWs to external script QVWs

[robert88]

I'm planning on pitching my team on using Git for the management of our Qlikview data pipelines. Part of this would be abstracting code from data by moving QVWs that contain almost all of our script code to be externally sourced from QVSs. Then I would be able to commit the QVS's to Git without tracking data changes in the QVWs as a side effect.

I'm wondering if there are any first party or third party ways to automate this process since our code base is massive?

Thanks

First party, you can create "-prj" folders and the script of each QVW will be stored there when the file is saved. More on that: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/May2021/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/QlikView_Project_....

Then, of course, you can rely on @rwunderlich's recipes to automate the process: https://qlikviewcookbook.com/recipes/download-info/script-repository/
