Hi all,
It is my understanding that Nprinting can do everything that publisher can and on top can provide extra functionalities like pixel perfect formating , excel file creation etc.
My question is, for a new installation, why do i need to buy publisher?????
Regards
Hi,
You dont need to buy the publisher to use the Nprinting.

There are two primary reasons for investing in QlikView Publisher
There is a document available from Qlik called "Why QlikView Publisher" - it is very useful, I could not find it in the community.
All the best, Adam
My questions is... If i get Nprinting then do i really need to get publisher also? What is the extra functionality that Publisher offers and Nprinting does not have?
hi
publisher and nprinting are two very diffrent products
publisher main goal in to administrate the qlikview server activity
in regards to :
-reloading the qlikview models
-alerting administrators when there is error in loading process
-distributing the models to other servers
-managing the qlikview users who can see which model
you can add a reporting capabilities to the publisher by purchasing the pdf reporter
which allow you to distribute qlikview reports in pdf formats.
where is nprinting is mainly a reporting tool
that allows you to distribute your reports in various formats (HTML , XLs,PPT,Doc) and more
allows you to distribute to each user only data relevant for him.
nprinting can do a reload of qlikview models , but i wouldn't have replaced publisher for this type of operations
for several reasons : nprinting can only reload one document at a time , nprinting needs a qlikview license to perform the reloads
so the question is what you are looking for
if you need a qlikview administrative tool i would choose publisher (that is the regular server capabilities aren't enough)
if you need a reporting tool then nprinting is your choice
hope this short explanation
helps you
Hi Adam,
Nprinting reload tasks also run on Nprinting machine, right? I fnprinting machine is seperate from QVServer then adv1 i lost... Is that correct?
Adv2 generally means that i can have parallelism in reload tasks, right?
Hi Liron
-reloading the qlikview models --> Nprinting can do that but only one task/file at a time, right?
-alerting administrators when there is error in loading process --> What kind of alerts can publisher raise?
-distributing the models to other servers --> Nprinting cannot distribute .qvw files?
-managing the qlikview users who can see which model --> I dont get that. I think that security is either handled by windows (group a cannot access folder A) or through Qliview server (group A cannot see dimension member A).
hi george
- yes nprinting can only do one task at the time , so if you have several qlikview models that can mean long reloading process
-regarding alert nprinting also can alert you so it doesn't matter
-nprinting can distribute qvw files via reduce tasks
-publisher allows you to use different sources of users : aD users, custome users (users you create in the server)
so it allows you do manage users from different types
- one more point
in publisher task you can define that if a task fail , it'll try to run it N times before a failure is reported, to kill task after X minutes if it didn't finished
in nprinting you can't do neither ,
so once again you need to decide what you are looking for
