I hate QlikSense... Or do I?

[jduenyas]

Hi all

I am a QlikView guy for the last 8 years.

Our company is considering moving to QlikSense. Should they?

Is there a data load statement in QlikSense from another QlikSense document?

In QlikView the statement is:

Binary [Path];

And all data from existing document will be loaded

Thanks

Scripting/Data load part of Sense is almost the same a View.

The big difference in the inability to program events in Sense, making customizations more challenging.

I was not able to load data using the same script that I have in View using Binary.

Copying and pasting the same script from View to Sense does work but my data load is long and takes over 30 minutes to load.

I am trying to bypass the long script.

Thanks anyways.

binary load works, use it all the time; not sure if the syntax is different.

The script works the same with the exception that you cannot specify file paths directly.  You must create Data Connection(s) and use the lib:// syntax in the FROM to reference the file.

Yes, Binary works fine but again you must use the lib syntax.
