I would like to know whether we can connect the social media like facebook,twitter etc., from qlikview directly without using tool or not. If yes suggest me the way to do.
We have to use connectors for getting the data from Social Media, without this it is bit difficult. You can get various connectors from QVSource.com. Otherwise we can also create connectors if you don't want to buy form third party.
There can be sources of data which are not available through ODBC or OLE DB sources and are not readable as flat files. QVX (QlikView data eXchange) is a file/stream format for data which allows you to create your own connector for input into QlikView. A QVX formatted file contains metadata describing a table of data and the actual data. The QVX SDK contains two examples (with sample c# code) of extracting data from the Windows Event log for both QVX file production and streaming data directly into QlikView.
