Where to read license usage from?

Hi,

I want to create an application for license usage analysis, but I don't know where to read that info from, and I've given up on making the QMS API work. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

I suspect this may be what you are looking for?

that's a good app, but it only reports based on usage, not on what was assigned..in other words, if somebody has assigned a named or doc CAL and doesn't use it, I won't see it in that app.

Seems that maybe you could parse the XML file that the server generates

to get your assigned CAL's?

that sounds interesting..do you know the name of that file?

You would need to dig into the licenses.htm (and likely the css

stylesheets) to figure out where its calling for the CAL details. Sorry,

haven't done any web development in a decade so I'm a bit rusty... there are

also several .pgo files which I suspect store the license details but no

clue how to open/parse them (likely proprietary).

I took a look at licenses.htm but after playing around with included js functions , I give up. Do you know of an easier method to do this?

I have just started playing with QMS API and I have created a small application to retrieve CAL definitions (Named CAL/Doc CALs, documents authorizations if using DMS). These informations are stored in xml files which can be loaded in a QVW.

Some remarks:

  • NET 3.5 required (same as Qlikview Server)
  • You have to be in the "Qlikview Administrators" and "Qlikview Management API" groups
  • QVS and DSC have to be on the same server
  • I have just loaded to files in the QVW, there is no design yet (feel free to contribute 😉
  • This is just a beta/proof of concept application, use at your own risk !

You can download the file here: http://dl.excelcio.com/QVSCALManager_beta.zip

Next step: do the same in a WebService so that info can be retrieved within Qlikview with a "load from http://xxx"

PS. for those interested in developping their own applications, check this file C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service\QMSAPIDocumentation.chm (should have be stored in the SDK folder IMO...)
