Read notes to datamodel in QV11

[Teppo_Ojala]

Hi,

Has anyone done a script that reads in the notes (QV11 functionality) to QV datamodel? Is this even possible or not? With a note I mean the texts written by end users, that are linked always to some object. And of course it would be interesting to read in the snapshot details. I have a case where I would like to show the newest comment above each object and then I would like to do filetring based on those notes.

Just curious - is this possible..

Thanks again!

Theoretically possible.  Annotations (notes) are stored in the .shared files.  There's no direct interface to read from .shared files, but you can browse them with QlikView Power Tools.

Thanks for the answer. I haven't used QlikView Power Tools that much, so I don't know the capabilities of that. If somebody has "something ready for this", I would like to copy those

As Gary indicated, QV Power Tools http://community.qlik.com/docs/DOC-3059 can be used. It has the QvServerObjectConnector tool, which you can use as a connector to read data from the Shared files. Really straightforward usage, with instructions in a Readme file.
