Hi Rohit,

That question has been asked by you before in a separate thread and been answered, see here:

Re: Qlik Sense Scalability Tool - Failed to get app structure: Failed to to connect to app. Error: F...

In short - yes there is a Sense version of the analyzer.

cheers

Hi Sebastian,

I really appreciate your instant reply but when I have downloaded QSSTAnalyzer.zip it has only QSSTAnalyzer.qvf file. I am asking for QVD Generator and ServerMetaFetcher files version are available for Qlik Sense ?

We need these two file for generate ServerInfor.xml and Qvds for run our STAnalyzer.qvf  file.

The Sense analyzer app does not read from qvd's nor utilize the serverInfo.xml. Please read the Readme sheet (first sheet in the app) on how to use this app.

Sorry  I missed that point in README  file.

So can you please know what exactly the error in attached snapshot, what I am missing ?

[Sebastian_Fredenberg]

Hi,

It is just an infomessage as logs can be either in  Exerciser or QvExerciser directory. Checking in both folders is there for legacy reasons

[rohitk1609]

So I believe with ST tool output file and server manager output file , two files are enough for QS ST.

Thanks Sebastian.

Hi Daniel,

Same result even with "filepath" key. No json file gets created in Sep2017 folder at execution. Please check if there is any mistake in below command or suggest some other option to retrieve app structure.

Hi this config looks ok for what I can see, so strange it doesn't work. I uploaded a new tool (4.1.1) where they only changes are increased error loggings and an increased timeout (2min) for gettings app structure. Both when running from command line (sept only), and in tool logs to file. Hopefully the new logs will tell us what goes wrong.

Also, forgot to say, you will need to use the app GUID, not the friendly name, when getting the app structure this way.

In regards to other ways, you can write the object id's manually in the script. There's a few different ways to get the object id's, none of them very straight forward.

Option 1

If your app contains titles (i.e. show title option checked) you can use a bookmarklet to replace the titles with the object Id’s.

Such a bookmarklet can be obtained here:

https://gist.github.com/mindspank/17e518f67f674c3caae5

However be aware that this will only work with nonhierarchical objects, e.g. filterpanes will show the id for the filterpane not the containing listbox/es.

Option 2

Using engine api explorer

http://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-developer/3.1/Subsystems/EngineAPI/Content/using-the-engine-explore...

This however has the same problems as Option 2 for hierarchical objects.

Option 3

Using Chrome developer tools, finding  the correct message within the websocket frames can be somewhat cumbersome, but possible. Example:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":20,"result":{"qReturn":{"qType":"GenericObject","qHandle":9,"qGenericType":"table","qGenericId":"cVDbaR"}}}

Hi Daniel,

I tried with ST 4.1.1 by GUI as well as command line, same behavior. No json file is created in the end. I am always using GUID in APP text field.

I tried another option of installing Qlik Sense Desktop locally for getting app structure and it worked. I can then use the app structure to build scenario to run it against Qlik sense server.

Although we were not able to get app structure from server, but you are doing a great job helping everyone to get the tool running.

Thanks again. I will post again if I have any following question...
