Qlik Sense Backup Suggestion

[Shahzad_Ahsan]

Hello Everyone

I am using qlik sense server. After creating new app like 'xyz' , when I go to this folder (ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Apps) I find an app with random name like '9976D7A3-7B0E-4A0C-9049-F5ED5ECEDCDD'

Que 1: Why this random name is generated automatically?

Que 2: I want, if I create new app like 'xyz', it should show xyz.qvf. Is this possible??

Que 3: I have around 50 apps in my apps folder but I cannot recognize any app because the are created by random name automatically. Can I rename those app like 'xyz.qvf' ??? It may cause any problem???

Que 4: Am I only facing this problem or this is qlik sense property??

These problems are not in desktop version.

These are the binary files of created apps.

You can find app id associated with your actual named qvf app.

PFA to enable ID column in QMC --> Apps.

there you will get App ID along with App Name. It will help you to recognize your app.

You should not rename it or delete it

Thank You

I added App ID column. Now I can recognize the app.

One more thing I want to ask. What is the best way to take backup.

I am taking like this:

Stopping the QS Services and Copy Apps, Logs & Repository folders to my local path .

Is this the best way??

I tested for one app. I renamed it and trying to open, but it was not opening.

[shraddha_g]

It wont open.

Qliksense recognize apps by its ID and not its name

[shraddha_g]

Yes that is also a way to backup.

But to take a backup of repository Database Refer Backing up a Qlik Sense site ‒ Qlik Sense
