Copy files from the server

[marcuspderloin]

Hi.

I have a question. There are some files (*.qvw) at the server. It is good to work with them directly on the server, but when there are necessities to make changes on them, it is not very convenient work with them. So I would like to make a local copy on my machine to test my ideas. 

So the question is : How to copy files from the server? 

Was thinking about making a macros or a button with the action but dont have any idea how.

There is no cahnce to contact server admins as there are on the vocation but the task is very urgent

Hi,
1.Go to QMC
2.clik on apps
3.select your app
4.clik more options
5.clik export
6.after it will download

The QVW files exist in a (usually shared) folder on the server, or a network share accessible to the server. Simply browse to that location in Windows Explorer and copy the files to your local machine. Your user account would need to have read access to the folder.

it would be great if u explaint where i can find it at Qlikview?

I have full acces to sever files (login with NT user)

i can't see server it local network devices and i dont know why.

do u mean to connect via the browser to the address of the server with the port?

trying to navigate to localhost:4780/qmc but without a success

Neehd to add. While conencting ot qlikserver typing qvp://

[jonathandienst]

Not from a qvp:// path. You need the network share path. In Windows explorer, something like:

\\yourserver\share (this should point to the document mounted folder with the QVW documents) or a parent thereof)

Then browse to find the required QVW document andcopy tp your local machine.

is there any option to detect serve address using qlik? or where can i find it? maybe you can tell me the port?

[jonathandienst]

Create a text box and enter the expression =ComputerName(). This will display the server name as read by Qlikview. (Then delete the text box....)

This assumes that you are using qvp (open in server) or opening the document in a web browser. If you open it in desktop on your PC, the name will be that of the PC.
