Server Location Basic Question

[Anonymous]

May be a silly question, but need clarity on this.

We store the include files, images, themes etc in server hard disk (in Test or Production).

How a developer using Qlikview desktop can access server files or images from the server while developing an application?

What is the standard procedure on this?

Thanks,

Hi karthick01

Can you elaborate with an example?

Example,

I am working on an Application (Qlikvew Desktop) and I need to use an Include statement (which is already stored in the Qlikview Server and that Include statement has the Connection String). How can I use that Include in my application?

Apparently you can use the same connection string/include statement if credentials are same.

Typically, people make a copy of the folders and artifacts on a shared drive to be used for development. And then promote them to the production folders when they have been updated and tested.

It's also possible to share the production folders and make them available to developers, if that is consistent with your security policies and development philosophy,

For my project,

UAT we map physically Server hard drive location.

Production we have to setup a key exchange to access respective files with server.

How will you handle the below scenario

a) If the server include file has a ODBC connection simply using the server file wont solve the issue unless you create the same ODBC in your local desktop

b) If the include files has some relative path set to a variable you will have to recreate this in your local desktop as well

So its better you use some shared folder or carry on your development activity directly in your test server

Hi Karthick,

If the user is having right access to the folders , he/she can call file path from the server (Production or Test) through "File name" and select target file.

Result:

Hope this will help you!
