Binary load is loading data from another QV file.  For example, you have application A.qvw.  You can create another application B.qvw with script

binary A.qvw.

When you reload it, your B.qvw has the same data as A,qvw.  The reload is very fast.

Hi,

I got this from Help file.

=========================

Binary

The binary statement is used for loading the data from another QlikView document, including section access data. It does not load the layout information or variables. Only one binary statement is allowed in the script and it can only be put as the first statement of a script.

The syntax is:

binary file

where:

file ::= [ path ] filename

Examples:

Binary customer.qvw;

Binary c:\qv\customer.qvw;

The path is the path to the file, either absolute, or relative to the .qvw file containing this script line.

========================

Hi Nagaraju,

Generally Binary Load is used to hide the scripts from Users.  First one Qlikview file with all the scripts required for the reports are created and then binary load this into another file by using

Script -> Qlikview File -> Select the Qlikview file created earlier.

You can load only one qlikview file by using Binary load.  By using this Binary Load Scripts are hidden from users.

Example:

Binary Sales.qvw;

Hope this helps you.

Regards,

Jagan.

I would like to know what's the difference between these two ways, considering i have 3 files: Cloud.qvw, Layout.qvw and Cloud.QVD

1. Layout.qvw loads Cloud.qvw that has scripts and others code staffs and has already loaded data from Cloud.qvd

2. Layout.qvw has the scripts and others code staffs and loads data directly from Cloud.qvd

Thanks

Hi,

Can we add some extra qvd with binary load?

or simply use only for hidden purpose?

Thanks.

If you want to load one qlikview file into another qlikview file then binary load will be used.  Binary load will load all Tables and data into the new qlikview file.
