  1. I guess you mean "is the Management API the only interface fpor reading the list of currently assigned CALs"? No it is not. Tools like David Foster's License_Analyser_K3FDS.qvw read an XML version of the CALData.pgo object. Directly.
  2. This group must be defined as a local group on your server, and must contain Windows account names of all users that should be allowed to use the QMS Management API.
  3. What do you mean, how can you add Named CALs automatically? Someone first has to grant a QlikView license to a new user. AFAIK this cannot be automated.

The Management QPI is present from the first moment you run QlikView services. API = Application Programming Interface, meaning that it is a specification on how to use the internal code of the QMS service in your own tools.

Hey thanx ,

I got the Qlikview Management API Group. Moreover does Qlikview MAnagement API is used just to specify how internal code of QMS service can be used with different other tools than qlikview ?? IS it ?

Yes indeed, an API is a formal specification of the methods and objects that can/must be used to call internal services offered by the QMS. Note that on average there exist two APIs:

  • One for use by external - thirdparty - tools.
  • One for use by internal - Qlik - tools and programs. This one is usually a superset of the first one. But even for Qlik engineers, someone should document the different core service components that can be used.

Best,

Peter
