Document Chaining Using I.E PlugIn

Hi guys,

I have read a couple of posts on this forum regarding this, but no one gave a very clear answer.

I am aware that I can chain documents in QlikView and retain selections from one qvw document to the next one and I have successfully done so using the Desktop client.

I have an application hosted on a server that users access using QlikView Access Point and the I.E PlugIn.

I have tried doing the document chaining on the server and it does not work. Is it possible for me to actually implement this document chaining and transfer state(selections) from one document to another using the I.E plugin?

Any help on this would be highly appreciated as I have a tight deadline

Thanks

As far as I know, to enable doc chaining on the server you must allows Unsafe Macro Execution in the QEMC. Other than that, I don't have any suggestions...

Hi Vlad,

So if I enable Unsafe Macro Execution in the QEMC, will I need to write a macro to transfer state between the documents, or will I just be able to transfer state by just pointing to the different qvw as I would normally do when using the desktop client?

Thanks

I'm really not sure, sorry.

If anyone does have an answer on chaining documents in IE using transfer state, I'd be very interested to know the solution. I have no issue in ajax doing this.

When I do the same, I get a message that says

qvp://server/documentpath/QVTest.qvw?bookmark=Server\BM15 could not be opened

Are you receiving the same type of message?

What's your syntax? I just verified that this works fine with the IE plugin if you use just the QVW name (or relative path if it's not located in the same folder on the QVS). So, for example, if you have a document called test1.qvw and you want to open test2.qvw in the same folder through doc chaining, you would enter just: test2.qvw. Relative paths should use / instead of \ since it will be trying to open a URL through IE.

hi Vlad,

thanks for your answer. The document is on the same folder & with ajax plugin works well.

Are you trying to open the 2nd doc in IE Plugin when the first was opened in AJAX? If so, that's probably needlessly complicated. I'm attaching a screenshot of what your button settings should look like.
