Hidden Script

[hopkinsc]

Hi all,

I have some hidden script in my document, 21 tabs in total (all hidden). i created them so i obviously have the password. What i wanted to know is if there was an easy way to make all of the hidden script tabs unhidden.

i was hoping there would be a way i could export all of the hidden script to a text file then copy it all onto 1 tab, QlikView will then seperate the tabs out when i reopen it. but i can't find a way to export hidden script

Maybe this thread will help you?

How to unhide hidden script for all the tabs

Hi,

I think there is no direct way to export hidden script.

Mr. Copy-Paste is your friend here.

My best practice? Never to develop in a hidden script. During development it serves no purpose at all, and it's too much of a hassle (extra password, no printing, no exporting, nobody can take over development when my car unexpectedly socializes with a tree etc.). I hide my protected code as part of a procedure that must be followed during publication and that includes stuff like enabling all security options, activating Section Access, reloading with dummy data etc.

Hi

No but you can export not hidden script into script.qvs  and reimport it, it will be properly separated

Hi, the reason for this hidden script is we sell QlikView over JDE templates to clients. when installing them (on their server) we hide the scripts until they have been paid for. so the dev work is done on their server to show them the result, but until they are paid for we don't want them to be able to copy the script and create their own templates.

So once they are paid for we will then 'Unhide' the hidden script

Hi understand that so the best is you use 3 apps

one for modeling  (1 for you with unhidden script and 1 for them)

and a second app only for design using binary load app_model

so you can modify your app if you need and copy it for your client and hide script in only 1 tab

I see. Working in the Hidden-script interface is mandatory.
Unfortunately QlikView isn't too helpful in making this an efficient execution roadmap.

Maybe you can launch an Idea for an Unhide-button (and an automation extension) here: Ideas

I thought it's useful for you to know...

The hidden script password is just that, merely hidden in the binary file of the QVW.  It is not encrypted.  You should treat the hidden script and really the entire QVW as a file needing appropriate file level security.

Also, what happens when someone loads your hidden script QVW into new QVW as Binary Load?

Cheers,

as far as i know "binary load", loads only data but not script even if it is not hidden
