Load data with QlikView Developer or Publisher

[julruiz123]

Hi,

Reading the QlikView Architecture and System Resource Usaque Technical Brief, says that Publisher is responsible for data loads and distribution.

If in my arquitecture i don't have the publisher component, what's the difference to load the data with QlikView Developer or Publisher ??

Thanks!

A QlikView document can be reloaded by either developer or publisher with the same results. 

Where Publisher has an advantage, is in the scheduling, distribution and administration of documents in a server environment.

Do you have a QlikView Server?

Hi bnichol,

Yes, I have QlikView Server.

If you say that the load has the same results with developer or publisher, so the script to load the data needs to be different when the arquitecture includes publisher ??

Thanks!

No, there is no difference in the load script.

Here are the primary differences...

Publisher allows you to schedule the reload jobs through itself and reload using the distribution service, versus creating a batch file to reload using the Developer's command line arguments.

Also, Publisher's reload speed should be faster, since it is running a service

Please refer to the Server Reference Manual for detailed description of Publisher functionality...

Lastly, you get access to the distribution server and limited publisher functionality by default with QlikView Server.  For enhanced scheduling and distribution functionality you need to purchase a publisher license.

Hope this helps,
