Re-creating QlikView apps and retaining user-made tables and bookmarks

[#1]

Hello

We are currently rebuilding some of our QlikView reports. We've completely changed the underlying process that creates the data, and the QlikView reports are basically the same, bar a few field changes and tweaks.

Question is, when we roll out these "new" versions, how can retain any user-defined tables and bookmarks that are in the current versions? Some of our users create lots of their own tables so we can't afford to lose them; we need to get them into the new reports. Same with bookmarks.

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

"Server objects" is the term I'm refering to. How do we copy server objects between apps en-mass? I don't want to have to share them one by one through the apps as this will take too long.

The [App Name].QVW.Shared file holds all bookmarks and user defined objects.

Copy the existing Shared file into your new environment and ensure that your New App has the same name as the previous App.

Bookmarks etc should now be retained, note the if the user was using a field name that has since changed in your new data model the bookmark will not work, same goes for any charts.
