Is server-side integration possible with QlikView?

Hi all,

I have tried Qlikview Workbench (ver.10). I was trying to understand if it's possible to integrate Qlikview objects inside a web application. When I'm saying integration, I mean to pass parameters from the application to Qlikview, e.g., the user clicks some value in the application, and this value is sent to Qlikview to filter a chart according to it.

As far as I saw, the only way to get it work, is to manipulate (using JavaScript) the HTML a QV listbox, so that the listbox will send the request to the server. There's no method that you can use. The QV Server does not externalize any API that allows this on the server-side.

Actually, I'm afraid it will never be possible, since Qlikview is not SOA-based.

Am I right?

Is there any other way for server-side integration?

Thanks ahead.

Hi Netanel,

     You can always use JavaScript API to get and set the values from a QlikView Object.

     The JavaScript API describes about handling all the objects and extensions in QlikView. Use that, you can access and manipulate the object, its values.

     It is also possible to pass values to a QlikView Application using QlikView EDX Technology. Here you can trigger a task that is created in the server and also you can pass the variable and its value to that application.

     To learn more about QlikView EDX, Please refer to the QlikView Server Reference Manual attached with this post.

Thanks

We are currently considering releasing a .NET component which makes communication with applications running on QlikView server possible. You can read about the capabilities here:

Hi Netanel  Are you aware that you can easily pass parameters to a QlikView application in the URL that you use to open the application? Take a look at the following post and its associated threads.  http://community.qlik.com/message/163728#163728  I have assisted a client to build integration using this method from Salesforce to QlikView.

Hi Chris,

I checked the qvsconnector and liked it.

Is there also a connector similar qvsconnector that supports java?

I've been looking for it, any advice?

Thanks a lot

Hi,  Not that I am aware of - we don't really operate much in the Java world so perhaps somebody else has some idea about this.  Cheers,  Chris

What method does QVSConnector use to talk to documents on the Qlikview server? Is it a wrapper around some other API?
