Mounting of Source and User Documents

For example I have Example.QVW

The Example.QVW is mounted under (D:\Deployment\....) for User Documents

Now I have created the task for the Example.QVW. Do I have to mount same location (D:\Deployment\....) in Source Document or it is not necessary ?

If the answer is not necessary then I have pointed(E:\Testing\....) for Source Document then how the users will see the updated Example.QVW in Access Point?

Hope you understand my question!

I am not sure what you are trying to do however I allow myself to guess;

You have a doc Example.qvw that you make to make available to the users through the accesspoint and you have to have it in the folder D:\deployment

Assuming that you have QlikView Server with a Publisher license

1. you need to have a folder source E:\testing mounting to the Qlikview Distribution service

2.you create a folder mounted to the QVS D:\Deployment

3. you put your QVW file into the folder under the QDS (E:\testing)

4. you create a distribution task that distribute to folder and you point to D:\Deployment

I have also attached a doc with some screenshots..

Hope this helps

So you meant to say

After developing a .QVW application I have to put under Source documents as you said in point 1.

when I create a task for this it will automatically put .QVW under the User documents after following the above steps?

this is correct, you need to mount your source folder

e.g E:\testing

So

I have to mention User document path location(D:\Deplyment) in QV server and in the the distribute tab(D:\Deplyment) of Document Tab

Under Distribution Service location I have to point Source document path location Setting for QDS(E:\testing) and Source Folders(E:\testing)

Correct??
