Hi,
Welcome to the club.
Find Below answers
1) No separate connector needed. You just need a odbc or OLEDB connection to Fetch data.
2) SBE is restricted to use with 25 Named cal and 100 Document Cal, as its meant for smaller implementation.
3) In order to have PDF distribution feature, You need to purchase a separate Licences for the same, You can have a look at third party tool like NPRINTING too regarding the same.
4)what type of integration you are looking at?

Hi Ashfaq,
Thanks for your response on 1 and 2.
For Point 3, have a further question. How feature of Qlikview Publisher can be achieved with SBE ?
For Point 4, Integration on, how we can connect Navision and Qlikview. Sample scripts for Loading Navision Tables into Qlikview etc. Any kind of Documentation on Navision - Qlikview ?

Hi,
For point 3. You need to buy 2 addons from Qlik
1) QlikView Publisher a separate License ( I would say a must tool)
2) QlikView PDF Distributer (Used for PDF Report distribution) Instead of this I suggest you to go with NPRINTING.
Regarding Point 4 I'm not really sure, But below links will help you.

Hi Ashfaq,
Thanks for you response once again.
For you Response on Point, on buying Qlikview Publisher. The Cost of SBE is $ 8400, while Publisher is $ 21000. The Cost of Publisher is high for a small scale business enterprise. Is there not any alternative to this ?
Regards
Pankaj
Hi,
There is no alternative to publisher, Like there is for PDF distributed ( Which is NPRINTING).
But you can move on without publisher. Later you can think about buying publisher.
If you don't have publisher you have to handle security by NTFS file system, which publisher does by default.

Hi Ashfaq,
Thanks for responding. But can data extraction scheduled batch jobs be created for Data Loads, Incremental Loads into Qlikview, without publisher ?
Regards
Pankaj
Yes, you can do that without publisher.

Hi Ashfaq
Using Qlikview Server, can data loads be scheduled ?
Or Are you talking about any other mechanism ?

Yes, I'm talking about QlikView Server.
