qlik sense object scanner install and run

[mikaelsc]

was anyone able to generate the 3 files mentionned in the article https://help.qlik.com/en-US/sense-admin/May2026/Subsystems/DeployAdministerQSE/Content/Sense_DeployA...

at this time i only get the "QlikObjecScanReport.csv"

• QlikObjectScanOutput.parquet: Contains information about all visualizations used in all apps of the installation.

• QlikObjectScanExtensionStatus.parquet: Contains information about all extensions available in the Qlik Sense installation and their deprecation status.

• QlikObjecScanReport.csv: Contains meta data, including time stamp of the scan.

any ideas? 

@Eduardo_Monteiro thanks for suggesting 

https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Enable-parquet-file-support-for-existing-App...

but this gets me an error when running the ImportQlikSenseCLIModule.ps1

similar error when running the AddParquetExtentionWhitelistTable.ps1

Hi @mikaelsc 

I was only able to get it to work with QlikSense-Cli instead of Qlik-CLI.

You can find it C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Tools\QlikSenseCLI

## Installation
```PowerShell
Get-PackageProvider -Name NuGet -ForceBootstrap

# Install for all users, requires admin rights
Install-Module QlikSenseCLI

# Install for current user
Install-Module QlikSenseCLI -Scope CurrentUser
```

```PowerShell
# Once Installed you can import the Module
Import-Module QlikSenseCLI

Then you can try to run the AddParquetExtentionWhitelistTable.ps1

** Edit **

Alternatively you can copy the QlikSenseCLI folder to C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\modules and run:

Import-Module QlikSenseCLI

Once it's done, you can open Windows PowerShell ISE and open the script AddParquetExtentionWhitelistTable.ps1

You might need to edit line 4 to use Connect-QlikSense instead of Connect-Qlik.

I hope that helps.

When you write "able to generate", do you mean that the generation step is failing? Or is it the upload of the generated files to Qlik Sense that fails?

[mikaelsc]

@Øystein_Kolsrud files are generated correctly when changing the filepaths. 

i guess the solutions provided by @Eduardo_Monteiro should work. 

it seems the connection/authentication to qlik sense fails in powershell with the CLI module. 

(should the (admin) user that runs powershell have specific rights/license in qlik sense?

[mikaelsc]

even manually, in a brand new app (may 2026), adding the parquet files fails... 

not sure if this is another symptom

Hi @mikaelsc 

You can figure out what is going on by manually running the qlik sense object scanner.

Open the command prompt or powershell as administrator

navigate to the qlik sense object scanner folder

Execute:

In cmd.exe QlikSenseObjectScanner.exe -a -d <appid> 

In powershell ./QlikSenseObjectScanner.exe -a -d <appid> 

Please share the results.

the scanner works. 

the ImportQlikSenseCLIModule and AddParquetExtentionWhitelistTable ps are somehow failing. 

(service account/admin mode/...)

Hi @mikaelsc 

It's confirmed.

415: Unsupported media type <-- You don't have .parquet enabled/whitelisted.

What is your OS and PowerShell version?

For PowerShell, you can use $PSVersionTable.PSVersion.
