Qlik Sense 3.2 - How to extract BW CUBE data?

hi guys,

I have to extract data out from BW DATA. I noticed that the Qlik Sense does not support OLAP connector.

Therefore, i have used QlikView to establish the OLAP Connector. So, is like:

CUSTOM CONNECT TO "Provider=QvSAPOLAPConnector.dll;ASHOST=10.0.11;SYSNR=......"

So, I copied the connection string and paste it on a Qlik Sense app, and click Load Data, then I hit the error. - as per the attachment.

The Error says - "CONNECTs other than LIB CONNECT are not available in this script mode".

The error occurred here:

CUSTOM CONNECT TO ***

You do the following to use script of QlikView:

  1. Open C:\Users\{user}\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Settings.ini in a text editor.
  2. Change StandardReload=1 to StandardReload=0.
  3. Save the file and start Qlik Sense Desktop, which will run in legacy mode.

Have you tried looking at the additional web connectors for your solution? Go to the downloads site and look under connectors.

I went there for a connector to exchange server and used the mailbox connector for example.

I think you can try an other connection string. I use OLE DB, like:

OLEDB CONNECT TO [Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source=10.88.16.46\QA2;];

u mean instead of using SAP related connector, use a MSOLAP Connector?  that will connect to the BW Cube?

Do i still need to key in any SAP Connector license? client has bought the SAP Connector license.

No, I use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Analysis Serves, like:

OLEDB CONNECT TO [Provider=MSOLAP;Data Source=10.88.16.46\QA2;];

LOAD *;

SQL SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Closing Quantity] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Product].[Hierarchy].[Product].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM [EMSDW CAL] CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
