Qv to QS

[manoranjan_d]

Hi all,

There is any tool to convert the QV.qvw file which have script,DM, UI  to be converted in qliksense file.

[agigliotti]

yes you can use the QlikView converter, take a look here https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/June2018/Subsystems/Dev-Hub/Content/ConversionTool/conve...

I hope it helps.

See Andrea reply above.

• UI: in most of the cases, you will need to redo it. There are several things in QlikView which don't work or even make sense in Qlik Sense (and are not meant to work, these are not gaps).
• QVD: any QVD generated in QlikView 11 and 12 is readable from Qlik Sense. However, QVDs generated with Qlik Sense may not be readable with QlikView versions
• Script: almost copy/paste. You will need to get used to the concept of "libraries" when connecting to a database or reading from a file, but all functions will work from QlikView in Qlik Sense. Qlik Sense adds some functions which are not in QlikView.

The converter can help but as it is now, backed is mostly reusable with little rework, whereas front-end needs to be redone.

binary load can be applied to qliksense  in order to clone the qlikview DM?

[Miguel_Angel_Baeyens]

Yes, you can do binary load from a QVW, but first you have to create the connection to a folder to be able to use LIB://

The first line in the script will look like this:

Binary [lib://Folder/App.qvw];

[manoranjan_d]

then datamodel and script are copied two works got completed

only chart creation and variable creations has to be done mannually

[Miguel_Angel_Baeyens]

Give a chance at the converter, maybe it can save some work. As far as I see it, I would redo it from scratch.

In the long run, however, doing binaries is not a sustainable solution. You will have to refresh the data within those QVWs and for that you need QlikView, ending up in maintaining two products in two separate platforms.
