Qlikview API Help

[makerbiles6]

We have a Qlikview Accespoint check where we are basically making a post request to qlikview server then getting the stamp and a session.

We are then validating that certain files are on the server.

These checks were working fine then we upgraded Qlikview Server to Windows 2012 from Windows 2008 and checks are failing with http 403 error which basically means access denied.

Im fairly new to Qlikview and I know this question is fairly broad and a little vague but this about all I can post and any help would be greatly appreciated.

My hunch would be that as part of your Server OS upgrade, you forgot to migrate all the QlikView local security groups you had from the old server to the new server, and that is the reason things are now failing, as API calls require membership in other security groups, see the following Help link:

The QlikView Management API security group must be created and the account making the QMS API requests must be added to that security group, or it would need to be in the QlikView Administrators security group, but without one of those, the requests will fail and that is by design.
