I never did reply, forgive me. I just needed to launch the tool with an account that had admin rights. Once I did that, everything worked as it should.

Thanks!

Team, good morning. We are attempting to open multiple apps in one script but we are getting a "not valid for mode" error. The steps in the script are:

1 - Open App A

2 - Go To Hub

3 - Open App B

I even tried using the Disconnect App (i think this is the correct name?) command between step 1 and 2 with the same result.

The GUIDs for the Apps are correct as we are successfully testing them in their individual test scripts.  So, starting from the top, is it possible to open multiple apps in one script? Thanks!

[Daniel_Larsson]

Hi there's some text before the "not valid for mode". E.g.

> filename<myfile.txt> not valid for mode<current>

or
> app<myapp> not valid for mode<round>

etc, there's a lot of variations, with the syntax parameter<value> not valid for mode<appmod>

It means you have an mismatching configuration for the appmode and some other parameter in the action. See the documentation for the action.

And yes, it's possible to open multiple apps in a script, when the second app is opened the first one is closed, so it's a good idea, but not necessary to have a disconnectapp directly after any action within the app, e.g. before the new openhub action.

[MisterRoy]

Thank you. I found the error. Silly oversight. It's working.

Hi,

Is an Admin account mandatory to use this software? That doesn't look so good for an enterprise-environment where admin accounts are quite limited 😞

[MisterRoy]

It is for us. We have to run the application with elevated accounts on our workstations.

Hello Sacalability Team,

Could you please help me out ?

I have installed Qlik Sense Enterprise Scalability tool on my server machine but when I try to open the tool I am getting as Tool stopped working. I have attached screen shot.
When I tried to install it on user machine and tried to connect to server hostname it is giving error as websocket connected, but authentication failed. Attached the screen shot for the same.
Could you please help me out why this issue is coming and how should I resolve this

[SebastianFabian]

Hi! I'm not sure what's causing the application crash on your server, could you take a look in Event Viewer if there are any related error messages? You should be able to look for it by going to Windows Logs -> Applications and filtering by Event source. Another way is to reproduce it and then immediately look at the most recent log entries.

As for the connection error, it doesn't look as if you've configured connection settings completely. Please check the pages 31 and 32 in the included PDF manual for examples of how to set up and use header authentication with the tool. Hope that helps!

Best regards,

Sebastian

[nagarwal]

hey Sebastain,

Thanks for reply

I have updated the connection settings but now getting new error as attached

[SebastianFabian]

At this point I would try connecting to Sense from the same machine using the browser, to verify the settings. This can be done using for example Firefox and the extension "Modify Headers", please see bottom of page 32 in the manual.
