Binary Loads using qlik sense server nov 2020

[mstoler]

Hello,

Are people created qlik sense dashboards and then loading them into other dashboards using binary loads and qlik sense server?

I know years ago this was something that could be done with QlikView where you create your model in a qvw file and then binary load it into other Dashboards.

I am not sure if this still applies to qlik sense server?

Thanks,

Michael

Yes,

Binary load is supported in Qlik Sense.

Hello,

If  I want to load a dashboard every day and then have use that in another binary load how do I get the file name and location in qlik sense when the file is stored in the share directory?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello,

You need to create a folder connection which will point to QlikShare\Apps in your shared folder.

Use below statement before SET variables.

Binary [Lib://[ConnectionName]/Appid];

This will load all the data including Section Access from the app id.

Ok. 

I think I am going to start using qvd files with business logic and see if that works well.

Thanks for the input.
