Hi Raja,

I do have two folders in the same server, one of them for developing purposes and the other one has the published QlikView documents. Apart from the QV docuements, there are some folders that hold idifferent files (qvs files, xls files...) with exactly the same folder structure.

What I do is set a realtive path in the Qlik documents when it comes to read a qvs or xls file. This way, I only need to copy the QVW file from the DEV folder to to the real folder, and then reload.

It is useful to reload the DEV QVW file before putting it in real folder, this way you ensure you have the latest information without the need to wait for next reload.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

The best you can do is to use the QlikView Deployment Framework. Sign up to the QDF group, then download the documentation and software.

Generally, none of those steps should be taken real time, rather than from DEV to PRE, then after being thoroughly tested, from PRE to PRO, and then tested again.

1.- I'd only move the QVW files, reload them according to the tasks imported or created in PRO, and let this QVW create fresh new QVD files.

2.- In regards to tools, the QlikView Deployment Framework as mentioned above.

3.- Do you mean you want to append two QVW files? Why don't you move the historic QVW to PRO as well?

4.- You will need to either create the tasks as they are in the DEV server or using the Remote Management Services within the QMC in the PRO server and connect to the DEV server to import tasks.

Hi Raja,

     if you move the empty file from DEV to PROD, the PROD file will be empty and will not be populated with data until next successful scheduled reload. That ir why I usuarlly reload the DEV files before moving them to PROD. Then I move them.

     All changes in the DEV document will be updated in PROD... becuase you are copying the file from DEV to PROD; aren't you?

Cheers.

Hi Miguel Angel Baeyens,

Thanks for your help and valuable time for me,

Please help me,

3- Do you mean you want to append two QVW files? Why don't you move the historic QVW to PRO as well?.

        Yes- I want append two files.

         a. I want append the new changes (enhancements).

         b. But my Dev server file I am cleaned and this completely empty(no data).

         c. You move only QVW document or (all XML files like AllProperties,DocBinary,DocInternals,DocProperties,LoadScript,Module,QlikViewProject,SH01,TopLayout,QVD).

Regards,

Raja.

Hi,

The way to merge two files, unless you have been using some kind of source control, namely TFS, is copying and pasting from one file to the other, so the QVW that will go into PRO will have all objects both new and old.

Moving the XML files will not help unless as mentioned you have been using TFS.

Hi,

Is it possible in your case to reload the data in the DEV document?
