I have 200 doc CAL's assigned. Unfortunately the CAL assignment  got deleted, how can we restore these?

Hi @Srikanth_89,

Named CALs & Document CALs are stored in the CalData.PGO file located in the QlikView Server Root Folder.  The default location of the Root Folder is %ProgramData%\QlikTech\Documents (see Help entry Folders).  If you have changed the Root Folder location, check in QlikView Management Console (QMC) > System > Setup > QlikView Server > QVS@ > Folder for the location.  QlikView Server does have a secondary location for this file in %ProgramData%\QlikTech\QlikViewServer (If clustered QVS, the file will be present in this location on all QVS nodes).  So if you have a recent back up of the CalData.PGO file you can restore it to the Root Folder & QlikViewServer locations in Windows File Explorer to recover the deleted CALs.  

This can be a somewhat common occurrence.  See this previous Qlik Community thread for more information.  Hope this helps!

Best Regards
