redirect user from report url to access point - Qlik Community

DeltaBI · ‎2021-05-12

Hi All,

There is a maintenance work going on a server and all users having direct URL to report are seeing non responsive page or error. I need to redirect ALL users URLs for this web server to access point where we have specified a message.

Where can I set it up?

Thanks

I think the only way you can do this is by putting an http proxy in front of your QS server and make that proxy reroute the requests for the unavailable url.

Thanks Gysbert, I made it differently. There are 2 steps involved:

1) display custom html page when user enters Access Point;
2) display custom html page when user enters direct report link (eg. from favorites in browser);

AD 1) On web server: C: > Program Files > Qlikview > Web
- replace index.htm with your custom html page.
Ad 2) On web server: C: >Program Files > QlikView > Server > QlikviewClients > QlikviewAjax
- replace opendoc.htm with your custom html page.

In my case I removed from both files content of <body></body> and made there some custom messages using bootstrap.

PS. Of course remember of having a backup of original files so when file servers are up you can replace and have everything in place.

Ah, that's what you were after. I thought you wanted users to be able to still access other documents that we're not under maintenance.
