Hi Vaibhai

Yes you can use Qlikview with Visual Studio Online. I have just configured it in my organisation.

First step is to install VS on your machine

I installed Visual Studio Express Windows Desktop Edition but you can install any of the versions:

Visual Studio Express

Then you need to download and install a MSSCCI provider: Microsoft Visual Studio Team Foundation Server 2013 MSSCCI Provider 32-bit extension

Then if you follow the Qlikview Documentation all should work.

Cheers,

Vaughan

Thanks Vaughan..

We have 3 users and qlikview is installed in the server. So, I need 3 lisences for Visual Studio?

or I can go for MSDN Professional Subscriptions which have additional 5 users attached to it?

You are allowed up to 5 Free User so if you have 3 users you should be fine for the time being.

Hi Vaibhai

Yes, you can use it.

In our organization we use TFS 2013 (On-premiss) as version control system (it`s integrated with QlikView Desktop).

You also can install Team Explorer for use it (I use it instead of Visual Studio Express, because Team Explorer is build in any Visual Studio as plug-in for works with version control system). You can download it by this link‌. (nowadays require DevEssentials subscription, is older time was free :-). More information here.

I also try to use VSTS (TFS 2017 Online) as version control system.

It work`s fine except one detail (Team Explorer 2013 can interoperate with MSSCCI Provider, but Team Explorer 2017 can`t - they work`s separately). Both Team Explorer 2013 and 2017 works fine for simple operation. For more information about restriction I recommend to read Microsoft manuals.

You may receive more information about integration with different version control system from this post. (In QlikView available integration with SVN natively, and available custom integration with other Version control system (GIT), where all actions making manual)
