We are a Qlik Partner delivering/delveloping Qlik Cloud Solutions to end-user-customers.
When performing ETL in the cloud, we use apps for extraction and apps for transformation when they reload they store data in the datafiles area... But I can be a bit slow to work in the cloud compared to a Qlik Sense desktop on your pc or our Qlik Sense Server. What we need to be able to do is to have a clone of the datafiles and apps on either our local computer or on our own enterprise Sense server when developing. This is a must... The cloud is simply too slow to work on. One should be able to download files from the datafiles areas, either mark them with check marks and then get a zip file or something..
Another problem with only working with a transform app in the cloud is, that if you mess up a join or something that takes all resources from the cpu or ram we cannot know this?? We cannot monitor it...
For every ones sake, I think this must be possible... It will also remove CPU and RAM usage from the cloud to local computers or servers.. 🙂 ...
A solution could be this :
- If it was possible to import a "Api key" from the Cloud into Qlik Sense desktop to make a secure connection to the cloud from Sense Desktop. Then from Sense Desktop one could get access to all the DataFiles and download and upload as one pleases...
