QlikView_app too big - how to get details

[datanibbler]

Hi,

I have just picked an app to work on now. That is approx. 50MB in size. That's not too big actually, but in the area where it's supposed to be used - the PC is connected to our Server via Wifi and it's not the best - neither the PC nor the Wifi 😉

=> So in that instance the size of the app likely does matter as we cannot reload it locally on that PC - that way the Wifi would be no
      issue - but we have to do that on the Server.

=> I know it would be much easier to get a new PC or just get better Wifi there, but none of that is easy to do as it's not up to me ...

=> So, how can I analyze an app to know which of the tables I load adds how much to the total size of the app?

I'll start by running the DocumentAnalyzer to learn which fields I actually need and which I don't, and delete unnecessary fields.

Best regards,

DataNibbler

Hi,

The Qlikview GovernanceDashboard can be of help in this matter.

You also use a bar chart with $Table as dimension and Sum ($Rows) as expression.

Hope this helps.

Hi DataNibbler,

beside the amount of rows had the rate of unique values within a field a huge impact of the amount of needed RAM - have alook here: http://community.qlik.com/blogs/qlikviewdesignblog/2014/03/11/the-importance-of-being-distinct and you could also split other alpha-numeric fields. But first use the document analyzer if such fields are in use.
