Read Registry values from Qlik Sense

[shubh307]

Hi Experts,

Can you please help me with reading registry values. I have tried using GetRegistryString() but fail to get result.

I am using QlikSense desktop version

You might need to disable standard mode:

Beware of security risks

Agreed. And have a look at this help page:

Thanks.

As it seems reading registry is not best way, so is it possible to pass parameter from QMC task to qvs. 

What I am trying to achieve is, I want to run specific qvs file when an application is on X.X.X version via QMC task.

Also same QMC task should run another qvs files if application is on Y.Y.Y version.

What about using ComputerName()? 

[shubh307]

ComputerName() wont work, as it will return only sysName. I need to make decision based on version on some application, which is stored in registry.

Then you can either disable standard mode or run a scheduled task to export those sections of the registry; you create a task/tasks on the server with the reg export command, save the output in a text file somewhere qlik sense can access it and load it in your script. This way you don't give sense special access to the system
