Is it possible to use the latest REST connector with QlikView?

[rzenere_avvale]

Hi everyone,

today I'm looking for a way to use the latest REST connector (released with Qlik Sense) in QlikView.

Unluckily the one available on the software download page is the old one (version 1.0, Initial Release), while with Qlik Sense comes one that is at least version 1.x

Anyone can shed light on this topic?

Hi Michael,

unluckily no, it doesn't work.

I keep seeing the interface from my last screenshot‌ ...

OK - I did have that issue as well - I resolved that by removing the old connector an copying in the new connector in to these directories:

Qlik Sense Enterprise Server:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data

and

C:\Program Files\Common Files\QlikTech\Custom Data

Qlik Sense Desktop:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data

I also attached the 1.1 connector from QlikSense 3.1 - just in case,

Restart Qlik Sense, Create a new app and add a new Rest Connector, Qlik the ? and select about:

That should solve the problem.

Let me know how you do.

Hi Michael,

at a second try it didn't work.

Then, I choose to completely delete QS and reinstall it.

After that, and copying the RestConnector as you said, it worked.

Many thanks!

Note: for those on QS Desktop, the REST connector installed with QS can be found in this folder:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\Common Files\Qlik\Custom Data
