Hello
we have 2 server machines BI1 and BI2
Bi1 is located at location X where IT department offices exist
Bi2 is located at location Y where end users offices exist
We have license for QlikView server with publisher and cluster for 2 machines
what is the best scenario of installing QlikView services so that on BI1 the reloads and creation of QVD files occur
and end users browse to the access point on BI2 machine?
I was thinking of installing on BI1 the QlikView Server Service, Management Service, and Distribution service
so Tasks run and consume RAM of BI1 during the night and IT people (developers) use this machine for development
On BI2 we install QlikView WebServer Service
Access point and folders will be defined on BI2
the publisher will distribute QVW to BI2 to be accessed by users from BI2
is this fine?
Do we need to have a third server machine to benefit from cluster option?
Please advise
Hi Ali,
Best I would suggest :
Use " Bi1" as server having below services:
and use "Bi2" as an Publisher with "Distribution" service
I have dome something similar , but in my case I'm having 2 publishers. See below:
Thanks,
AS
I want to host QVW on BI2 so that I benefit from all the available RAM for end users
reloads and publishing is carried by BI1
note server machines are in different locations (100 KM away premises)
A few - maybe useful - remarks:
You can still use Amit's suggested setup with this additional change: swap the installations = QVWS+QVS+QMS+DSC go on machine BI2, Publisher (optionally with QMS if you don't put that one on BI2) go to BI1.
Best,
Peter
yes I have in the LEF
NUMBER_OF_CLUSTER_NODES;2
so you mean that QVW will go to the RAM of the machine having QlikView server service?
If this is the LEF for QlikView server (Publisher has its own license and LEF), then it means that you can install two QVS on separate machines, and make them act like a single more powerful QVS. In total, you will have three Windows production machines: two to handle end-user requests (QVS1 and QVS2) and one to reload documents (Publisher)
"QVW will go to the RAM..." Indeed. Whenever an end-user requests access to a document in the AccessPoint, one of the QVS servers will load that document in RAM and send a first sheet to the end-user's browser. As long as that user keeps rummaging in that particular document, the QVW file will reamin loaded in RAM of that particular QVS.
But mind you: a Publisher machine also needs RAM to reload a particular document. For some documents, the required amount can be considerable. And a publisher will also need as many CPU cores as possible to execute a reload script. Those are the two main reasons why in an enterprise environment QVS and QDS services are almost always hosted on different machines.

ok we got 3 powerful machines Bi1, Bi2, and Bi3 each with 1 Tera of RAM
Bi1 will be located at IT department premises
Bi2, and Bi3 will be located at the end users premises which is 100 KM away from IT department premises
so I understand from you that I go on with the following installation:
on Bi1 I install the
and I apply the publisher license to Bi1
on Bi2 I install the
on Bi2 I apply the QVS license which has the Cluster enabled
on Bi3 I install the QVS (BI3 will be used for load balancing)
tell me if I'm wrong
