Note that one bug (GOVDASH-131) has been identified with Governance Dashboard 2.0.2 in which the reload fails unless you have something in the "Files/Folders to exclude".

There are two options for a workaround:

1) Add something in the Files/Folders to Exclude parameter (like zzzz)

or

2) Modify the load script by replacing the SUB filescan section (tab) with the following: (UPDATED Dec 7, 2016)

SUB fileScan

  IF NoOfFilePaths > 0 then  // Run this only if there are files & paths to scan
  TRACE Generating list of files (qvw,qvd) to scan;

  // Check if any exclusions are set
  If len('$(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion)') = 0 then

  TRACE No file or folder exclusions were set in the Configuration.;

  set NumExclusions = 0;

  ELSE

  Let vInputFilesFoldersExclusion = trim(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion);

  Let vFilesFoldersExclusionCleaned = if(right('$(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion)',1)='|',left('$(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion)',len('$(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion)')-1),'$(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion)');

  Let vInputFilesFoldersExclusion = vFilesFoldersExclusionCleaned;  // replace input for exclusions with the cleaned up version
  LET NumExclusions = SubStringCount('$(vFilesFoldersExclusionCleaned)','|')+1;

  TRACE $(NumExclusions) exclusion strings found in user input: $(vInputFilesFoldersExclusion).;

  For i = 0 to $(NumExclusions)-1

  LET exclusion$(i) = lower(trim(subfield('$(vFilesFoldersExclusionCleaned)' ,'|',$(i)+1)));

  Next i

  ENDIF

  // Creating a table with all filepaths (folders + subfolders)
  FilePaths:

  Load %Path as %FilePath, RowNo() as %FilePathNumber

  Resident inputPaths where %Area = 'File';

  SUB fileSearch (root,n)

  // Just looking for qvws, qvds for the file scan; QVX scan is not supported in GovDB 2.x
  For Each Ext in 'qvw','qvd'

  FOR EACH File in filelist ('$(root)' & '\*.'&Ext)

  IF NumExclusions > 0 THEN

  set exclusionsFound = 0;

  For x = 0 to $(NumExclusions)-1

  let exclusionsFound = exclusionsFound + SubStringCount(lower('$(File)'),'$(exclusion$(x))');

  Next x

  If exclusionsFound > 0 then

  let msg = 'The file $(File) has been excluded from this scan due to user defined exclusion parameter.';

  TRACE $(msg);

  ExcludedFiles:

  Load '$(File)' as ExcludedFile, $(exclusionsFound) as ExclusionRulesFound Autogenerate 1;  // Generate a table of excluded files
  ELSE

  CALL fileList ('$(File)','File',Ext,$(n))

  ENDIF

  //next x
  ELSE

  CALL fileList ('$(File)','File',Ext,$(n))

  ENDIF

  NEXT File

  NEXT Ext

  for each fldr in DirList('$(root)'&'\*')

  IF NumExclusions > 0 THEN

  set exclusionsFound = 0;

  For x = 0 to $(NumExclusions)-1

  let exclusionsFound = exclusionsFound + SubStringCount(lower('$(fldr)'),'$(exclusion$(x))');

  Next x

  IF exclusionsFound > 0 then

  let msg = 'The folder $(fldr) has been excluded from this scan due to user defined exclusion parameter.';

  TRACE $(msg);

  ExcludedFiles:

  Load '$(fldr)' as ExcludedFile, $(exclusionsFound) as ExclusionRulesFound Autogenerate 1;  // Generate a table of excluded files
  ELSE

  Concatenate (FilePaths)

  Load '$(fldr)' as %FilePath, RowNo() as %FilePathNumber autogenerate(1);

  CALL fileSearch ('$(fldr)',$(n))

  ENDIF

  ELSE

  Concatenate (FilePaths)

  Load '$(fldr)' as %FilePath, RowNo() as %FilePathNumber autogenerate(1);

CALL fileSearch ('$(fldr)',$(n))

  ENDIF

  next fldr

  ENDSUB

  // For each File folder to scan....
  For j = 0 to $(NoOfFilePaths)-1

  CALL fileSearch ('$(vFilePath$(j))',$(j))

  Next j

  drop table FilePaths;

  CALL qvwMetadata

  CALL qvdMetadata

  CALL TableLineage

  ELSE  // No Paths to scan
  TRACE No File paths to scan. Skipping.;

  ENDIF

ENDSUB

It looks to me like the Max RAM usage on the Server Performance Summary sheet is actually showing average RAM usage rather than max. I believe this is a 2.0.2 bug.

Yes, you are correct. It is calculating avg() RAM instead of Max Ram. (Who made that app anyway?!)

I have filed the bug w/ R&D, GOVDASH-146.

Thanks!

Just a quick addition that users/Qlik Server Admins might think is a useful visualisation. You can view all your tasks as a Gantt-Waterfall (start to finish time), especially (as in my case) to view the "free" times to allocate new tasks in these empty slots.

In order to do so, create a horizontal bar chart with:

Dim: TaskResult_Name

Expr: "MaxString(NUM(FinishedAt)) - MaxString(NUM(StartedAt))"

          with offset "FRAC(MaxString(StartedAt))"

Sort by: Expr = "MaxString(StartedAt)".

cheenu.janakiram‌ - Thanks for the tip - Can you post a screen shot image of what this looks like?

Hi Tyler,

Attached is a screendump of the Gantt-waterfall. It might need some space if one truly wants to look at the full picture of all reloads and there are many tasks. I'm sure there can be improvements on the visualisation itself (I had to cut/truncate the image in order not to share potentially confidential data, but it is the "Task Name" that is on the left-hand side). At least a start to be able to look at when tasks start and end and what is running concurrently as well as when the slots are to be able to squeeze in other reload tasks across that server/machine.

Hope it helps. Cheerio,

Hi Tyler,

I am not able to scan subfolders in governance dashboard.

I have all applicationd deployed in one main floder like D:\\Qvsource

and it contains sub folders like D:\\Qvsource\applications..

But it is not scanning all sub folders.

Kindly do the needful

Yes, I am sorry. This is a known bug with 2.0.2. See https://community.qlik.com/message/1246814#1246814 to get a 2.0.3 early release app.

Hi Tyler

I would like to know if there is any way to add a new input box object in the configuration section. I need to load xls extension files and contain them in a QVD

Thank you
