Sending or Viewing QVW across servers

[Anonymous]

Hi Qlikies !

Could you possibly throw some light on how to view or send QVW document from one server to another server.

The Current set up in our environment is as follows

The information comes from Linux server and delivered to Other Network server

Requirement:

We have to figure out how to automate and refresh QVW documents within Linux Server and send it to another server for display on large screen tv’s in factories (Multiple Locations)

If possible kindly provide step by step instructions

Thanks,

--Ajay

Hi Adam,

We have two servers here

One where the data gets captured directly from the DCM(Machines)

Two where these dashboards need to be displayed using RMG Display Screens in the Factory Machines

Now to integrate these dashboards from one server to another without the access point, do we have any other alternatives ? Please Advise and I would really appreciate your guidance on this one

Thanks!

Ok so can I assume you're using desktop and not server?

If so I would look to get server!

So If I get a server then can I send QVW across servers? .... even if the other server hasn't got Qlikview server installed ?

If you get server then you can publish to the access point and pick up the dashboards on any machine with a web browser. That would be my advice!

Otherwise cant you just have dashboards on the remote machines but load the data via a webservice / api / some other method? Not something I have done I am afraid

To have things on TVs you probably don't want to have QlikView apps showing there directly, as each TV would consume a CAL and refreshing them would be a pain.

Two approaches you may want to look at are using NPrinting to reload and distribute your app.  Make sure that you get version 16 though, as some of the functionality you will need is missing in 17.  Using this you can write dynamic HTML code and all of the images required for an HTML display on your TVs.

Another approach is to write out HTML code in your load script.  This can then show text based KPIs on your wall boards.  With some macro code you could pull through QlikView charts as well (using some exports on the post reload trigger), but you have more moving parts if you do this.

I've done a blog post on using the STORE statement to create HTML on the fly:

I have a wallboard display at a number of clients which looks like the below using this method:

Hope that helps.
