1 Introduction
1 Introduction
In this guide you will find information on how to configure and manage a QlikView site using the QlikView
Management Console (QMC).
The QMC gives access to the QlikView Server (QVS) and the QlikView Publisher (QVP) module settings. It
also supports the control of multiple instances of the QVS and multiple Publisher execution instances, from a
single management console, by means of an integrated tree view control.
The QMC user interface is primarily built up of tabs, containing pages, tree views, folders, panes, and
dialogs.
1.1 Status
The Status section covers information about tasks that can be scheduled, and also information about the
different QlikView services in Windows. You also find information about QlikView Server statistics.
1.2 Documents
The Documents section includes information about source documents, assigned tasks and user documents.
1.3 Users
In the Users section, you will find details on user management and information about managing section
access.
1.4 System
The System section covers setup, licensing, and supporting tasks. Additionally, you will find details on how
computer information and services are presented in Windows.

2 QlikView Publisher Document Administrators
2 QlikView Publisher Document Administrators
The QlikView Publisher (QVP) allows delegation of task creation and task management to non-QlikView
Administrators, that is, users that are not within the QlikView Administrator Windows group. These limited
users, the QlikView Publisher Document Administrators, Document Administrators in
short, are useful when multiple administrators are working with the QVP. This might, for example, be
applicable in a large enterprise deployment with a shared infrastructure.
This feature requires a QlikView Publisher (QVP) license key.
In the QlikView Management Console (QMC), users can be assigned permission to the source document
folders of the QlikView Distribution Service (QDS). In the QlikView Server (QVS) settings, users can be
assigned to either the entire QVS, or to specific mounted folders that Document Administrators should be
allowed to work with. Document Administrators that are logged into the QMC are only allowed to create and
modify tasks on the source documents in these folders, and they cannot amend any system settings or CAL
allocations in the QMC. A QlikView Administrator can also control if the triggers on the tasks worked with by
the Document Administrator are enabled or disabled by default.
The System tab is unavailable for Document Administrators and Supervisors. This means that
they cannot access supporting tasks.
Permissions on the folders of the QVS are given on the Folder Access tab.
Permissions on the source documents, are given on the General tab, where also the status of triggers created
by the Document Administrator can be set.
After having configured a Document Administrator, and used that user to login to the QMC, a restricted
version of the QMC will be presented. The Document Administrator is only allowed to work with the source
documents that this user has permissions on.

Shutting down a QlikView Distribution Service
The QMC provides a method for shutting down the QlikView Distribution Service (QDS), in a controlled way,
so-called graceful shutdown. This shuts down the QDS service, so that maintenance can be carried out, for
example.
For graceful shutdown of the QDS, a switch button icon is provided in the service status message for a
QDS service. When you click the switch button, during a pre-configured grace period, any tasks running in the
QDS are allowed to complete. If a task is not completed during the grace period, it is stopped. During this
grace period, no new tasks can be started on that QDS service.
Do the following:
1. Under Service Name, click the QDS service you want to shut down.

You might have to expand the tree browser of services if you are using clustered servers.
2. In the Information area, click the switch button icon.
3. Confirm that you want to shut down the QDS service.
Graceful shutdown of the QDS is started. Any tasks not completed during the grace time will be
stopped. The default grace period is 30 minutes.
To configure the grace period for graceful shutdown of the QDS, change the value of the following key in the
QVDistributionService.exe.config file: ServiceStopGracetimeInSeconds.

4 Documents
The Documents tab contains the following pages:
l Source Documents
This page is only available if a valid QlikView Publisher (QVP) license was installed.
l User Documents
On these pages, the source documents and the user documents can be managed.
4.1 QlikView Document Types and Functions
Each 'document' mentioned in the QlikView Management Console (QMC) environment assumes a 'QlikView
document', that is, a file with the extension .qvw, which can be opened by a QlikView Server (QVS), and
which can be of one of the following states:
l Document
l Source document
l User document
A source document is managed by a QlikView Publisher (QVP), that is, a QlikView Distribution Service
(QDS), whilst a user document is managed by a QVS. A document is not managed, but is still a QlikView
document, and as soon as it is managed by either a QDS or a QVS, it is referred to as a source document or
a user document, respectively.
A user document can be created from a source document managed by a QDS, by using the reduce function,
and by using the distribute function, to let a QVS manage the user document. A user document can also be
created by using the QlikView Desktop, and stored in a QVS folder. A user document distributed by a QDS
will not include any script.
A source document includes one script. The contents of a source document always overrules the contents in
a user document that is created from the source document. This means that any change in the source
document will overwrite both data and meta data in the user document, for example, when a task is
executed. This can be avoided by using different user document names, using a document name template.
A document is a source document that is distributed to an e-mail recipient or to a folder outside of the QVS
and QDS environment, that is, the document is not managed.
Users can access user documents via a front-end, that is, a QlikView AccessPoint, whilst administrators can
access source documents via a back-end, that is, a QDS.
A source document contains the script and a layout. When the script is executed at reload, a user document
is created. Source documents, including the script and the layout, are created by QlikView Developers.

4 Documents
4.2 Source Documents
This page is only available if a valid QlikView Publisher (QVP) license was installed.
On the Source Documents page, all source documents, and all the assigned tasks, are listed in a tree
view in the left pane. The tasks are sorted under the source document to which they belong. If a source
document for some reason is unavailable, the tasks belonging to the source document are flagged as
orphans and stored in the <Orphans> folder, which means that the tasks never run. If the missing source
document is re-introduced, the orphan tasks become regular tasks again.
To view or manage the settings of a task assigned to a document, in the right pane, click on the document or
task in the tree view.
Task chains, where one task triggers another task, can be created. For example, 'Document 1' can be
configured to be reloaded every hour, and 'Document 2' can be configured to be distributed when the reload
of 'Document 1' has been executed successfully, only. Furthermore, 'Document 3', can be configured to be
distributed when the distribution of 'Document 2' has been executed successfully, only, and so on.
If a trigger for any of the tasks in the chain is disabled, the chain will be broken. If any of the
tasks in the chain is disabled, the chain will continue, but the disabled task(s) will simply not
execute.

Distribute, Loop Field in Document
On the Distribute, Loop Field in Document wizard guide page, t he new task can be
configured to let the QlikView Publisher (QVP) distribute the current document.
The Loop Field in Document function provides distribution to users based on the content of each user.

Combining the Loop and Reduce function with the Loop and Distribute function, the result can be
that each user gets specific and relevant information, only.
For example, one document should be distributed to all the people employed in a specific country, and the
document should be distributed to the QlikView Server, each document given a unique name. The following
describes a solution:
1. In the source document, which contains the information that should be distributed, add an Employee
field containing the user name of each employee, and make sure that they are associated to the
country of the user.
2. Set up By Field Value for Loop and Reduce to use the Country field.
3. Edit the name template to include the Country field, %SourceDocumentName%
%DocumentField,Country%.
4. In the Field Containing Recipient Information drop-down list, select the Employee
field.
5. In the Check User Identity On drop-down list, select the SAMAccountName option.
6. In the Target Type drop-down list, select the QlikView Server option.

Check User Identity On

Select the desired type of user identity check, in the drop-down list. The available options are the following
directory service attributes:
l SecurityIdentifier
l DisplayName
l SAMAccountName
l EmailAddress
l UserPrincipalName
These attribute names correspond to the attributes in the Microsoft Active Directory, which are

described in the following:
l SecurityIdentifier, a unique value of variable length used to identify a user account, group
account, or logon session to which an ACE applies.
l DisplayName, the display name for an object, which is usually the combination of the first name,
middle initial, and last name of a user.
l SAMAccountName, the logon name used to support clients and servers running older versions of the
operating system, such as Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Windows 98, and LAN Manager. This
attribute has to consist of less than 20 characters to support older clients.
l E-mailAddress, the list of e-mail addresses for a contact.
l UserPrincipalName, this attribute contains the UPN, that is, an Internet-style user login name,
based on the Internet standard RFC 822. The UPN is shorter than the distinguished name and easier
to remember. By convention, this should map to the user e-mail name. The value set for this attribute
is equal to the length of the ID of the user and the domain name.
If another Directory Service Provider (DSP) is used, these attribute names correspond as closely as possible
to attributes with similar functions.

Publish a link to a QlikView document in the Qlik Sense hub
You can publish a link to a QlikView document in the Qlik Sense hub instead of distributing files by e-mail or
to a specific folder location. You can use this method when you want to share a QlikView document with a
named user that is part of the Active Directory user group in both QlikView and Qlik Sense.
QlikView documents
Once shared, QlikView documents are listed in the Qlik Sense hub. You can open a document from the hub
and interact with it using the functionality of the AJAX client. When viewing QlikView documents in Qlik
Sense, no changes can be saved.
QlikView documents cannot be displayed using the mobile view for small devices.

5.2 Section Access Management
On the Section Access Management page, all the available tables for section access are listed in a
tree view in the left pane. These tables act as a central repository for section access tables to use in QlikView
documents. The actual use of these tables is defined in the load script of the document.
Section access is similar to reduction, but is done by the QlikView Server when a user accesses the
document. The choice between section access and static reduction is a question of performance and memory
usage. When QlikView Publisher opens a section access protected QlikView file, the file is reduced based on
the reduction values.
Section Access Tables

Reload Limits
This option is just available when running only the QlikView Server, that is, not running the
Max Concurrent Reloads

Sets how many documents that may be reloaded at any one time.
Be careful not to set too many reloads simultaneously, as it may degrade the overall
performance of the computer.
CPU
CPU Affinity
By default, the QlikView Server (QVS) automatically selects the processors to use on the hosting computer.
It is possible to configure whether specific processors are to be used, or not. To deselect the use of a CPU,
untick the corresponding check box. To select a CPU to use, tick the corresponding check box.
This function must only be used when the default setting, that is, all CPUs are used, is
purposefully to be overridden.
CPU Throttle
By default, the QlikView Server (QVS) is set to use 100% of the CPU capacity, that is, no throttling is used. It
is possible to increase or decrease the priority of the QVS process, depending on how much CPU capacity
the process is utilizing. In this way, some of the CPU capacity can be freed and used by other applications,
improving the overall performance of the server. To set a threshold value, enter a suitable figure in this text
box.
If the server is dedicated for the QlikView Server, this function should not be used.
Should the CPU utilization for the QlikView Server process exceed the set threshold, it is most
likely because Windows considers more resources available.
Default value: 0 % (0 means no throttling).
Sessions
For each document that a user opens on the QVS, a new user session is generated. It is possible to configure
the maximum number of concurrent user sessions that are allowed on the QVS. To set the maximum number
of concurrent user sessions, enter a suitable figure in this text box.

6 System
If the server is dedicated for the QlikView Server, this function should not be used.
This setting is not related to Client Access Licenses (CALs).
Default value: 5000 (an empty field means no limit).

The maximum inactive session time can also be set per document. The session time with the
lowest value takes precedence. If the session time entered in this text box is lower than the
document session time, the document session time is disregarded.
Default value: 1800 seconds (0 is not allowed; empty means no limit).
Possible Session Timeout

User sessions, which have had no activity during a specified time limit, can be configured to be eligible for
being closed by the QVS, if needed. To set the session timeout, enter a suitable figure in this text box.
The QlikView Server may close inactive sessions and re-use the slot, if needed for other users.
Default value: 1800 seconds (0 is not allowed; empty means no limit).
Maximum Total Session Time

All user sessions, active or not, can be configured to be terminated by the QVS after a specified time limit. To
set the session timeout, enter a suitable figure in this text box.
Default value: No limit (0 is not allowed; empty means no limit).
Working Set
The minimum and maximum of the physical amount of RAM that is allocated to, and can be used by, an
application or process can be configured. This way it is possible to control whether an application can be
swapped out of physical memory, or not.
There are no guarantees that the operating system can host the process with the configured
amount of memory.
Using too high values will degrade the performance of other processes on the server. However,
this might be desirable if the server is dedicated for the QlikView Server.

6 System
It is assumed that the physical memory up to the Low limit is reserved for the QlikView Server.
Do not change these settings unless being well acquainted with the Windows Virtual Memory
Manager! Read more about working sets in the Microsoft Windows documentation.
Low
The minimum of the physical amount of RAM, in percentage, which can be used by an application. To set the
minimum amount of memory, enter a suitable figure in this text box.
If the use of RAM exceeds this value, Windows is allowed to swap the memory that the
QlikView Server is using to disk.
Default value: 70 %.
High
The maximum of the physical amount of RAM, in percentage, which can be used by an application. To set
the maximum amount of memory, enter a suitable figure in this text box.
If the use of RAM exceeds this value, Windows should swap the memory that the QlikView
Server is using to disk.
Default value: 90 %.
Document
Object Calculation Time Limit
The maximum amount of time that the QlikView Server will attempt to calculate a chart object can be
configured. The time is set in seconds of total CPU time. To set the maximum amount of time, enter a

interval, between 1 and 1440 minutes (24 hours). The stored log file will be named Performance.log.
Default value: 5 minutes.
Enable Event Logging

To enable mirroring to a log file of the entries from the QlikView Server to the Windows event log, tick this
check box. The stored file will be named Events.log.

To enable the logging of user selections, clear selections, sheet activation, the application of bookmarks,
report access, and the maximization of objects, tick this check box. The stored file will be named as described
in Log Folder.
To enable the logging to include more details (for example, all selections that come with a bookmark), tick
this check box:
l Enable Extensive Audit Logging
Log Folder
The folder in which the QlikView Server will create and store the log file can be configured. To select a folder,
enter the valid and absolute path in this text box, or click on the Browse icon, , and choose the folder in
the Choose Folder dialog.
Default value: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer
Event Log Verbosity
This setting controls how much information that will be written to the event log files. To configure the
verbosity level, select one of the following options:
l Low
l Medium

6 System
l High
The high log level might cause heavy load on the system.
Split Files
This setting controls how often the log files are to be split, that is, a new file is created and used, in order to
avoid having too large files. When this setting is used, all log files are split: event logs, session logs,
performance logs, and audit logs. To configure the recurrence time for splitting files, select one of the
following options:
l Never, meaning that the event log files are never split, the same one file is always used.
l Daily, meaning that each event log file contains information from a day, at maximum.
l Weekly, meaning t hat each event log file contains information from a week, at maximum.
l Monthly, meaning that each event log file contains information from a month, at maximum.
l Yearly, meaning that each event log file contains information from a year, at maximum.
For the change in Split File setting to become effective you must restart QlikView Server
(QVS).
Security
On the Security tab, the settings for authentication, authorization, communication, and cluster license can
be managed.
Authentication
Clients
It is possible to select whether the QlikView Server (QVS) should use Windows authentication, when
possible, or not. To configure the type of authentication, select one of the following options:
l Always Anonymous, meaning that anonymous communication is forced.
l Allow Anonymous (default), meaning that authentication is used whenever possible.
l Prohibit Anonymous, meaning that authentication is forced.
Make sure that this selection is consistent with any other security setting that may be specified
in the virtual directories of the web server. For example, if the Microsoft IIS allows anonymous
communication, but the QlikView Server does not, the client user will get an error message
when trying to open the application through the virtual directory.
Anonymous Account
By default, the QVS will create the anonymous account on the local machine. If a cluster is used, the
anonymous account should be changed to be a domain account, so that the servers in the cluster can share
the account. This setting is only applicable if the server is running in NTFS mode. To configure the type of

6 System
account, select one of the following options:
l On Domain
l On Local Computer
Authorization
The mode that the QVS will use when authorizing access to documents can be configured. Traditionally and
by default, the QVS uses the NTFS Authorization mode, which means that the Windows operating
system controls the file (document) access for users and groups through the NTFS security settings. The DMS
Authorization mode uses the QVS Document Metadata Service (DMS) facility to authorize the file
(document) access for users and groups. When this mode is used, the QlikView Publisher (QVP) Directory
Service Connector (DSC) must be accessible, in order to resolve group membership. To select which
Directory Service Connector to use, select one of the following options:
l NTFS Authorization, meaning that the Windows operating system controls the file access.
l DMS Authorization, meaning that the QlikView Server DMS controls the file access.
Miscellaneous
Allow Dynamic Data Update
To enable macros or external processes to update parts of the data in semi-real time, tick this check box.
This feature allows dynamic updates of the data in the currently loaded document. It is intended for QlikView
Administrators to feed limited amounts of data to a QlikView document from a single source without running
a reload of the document.
The uploaded information is only stored in RAM, so any data added or updated using the Allow
Dynamic Data Update feature is lost, if a reload of the document is performed.
It is recommended to disable the Allow Dynamic Data Update feature, since it can be time-
consuming.
The Allow Dynamic Data Update feature is not supported in clustered QlikView Server (QVS)
environments.
Default value: Disabled (unticked check box)
Allow Macro Execution on Server

To enable macros to execute on the QVS, tick this check box.
This feature applies to AJAX clients, since macros run on the QVS when using AJAX and in the client when
using QlikView Desktop or the Microsoft Internet Explorer plugin.
If disabled, macros that use AJAX are blocked.
Default value: Enabled (ticked check box)

6 System
Allow Unsafe Macro Execution on Server

To enable unsafe macros to execute on the QVS, tick this check box.
Allow Admin Using Name and Password

If the QVP is running in a separate Windows Active Directory, this setting has to be enabled to be able to
connect to the QVS service. Also, the account used to connect must be part of the QlikView
Administrators group. To enable the support of the separate Windows Active Directory, tick this check
box.
If this setting cannot be enabled through the QMC, instead, it can be added in the QlikView
settings file, Settings.ini, which is located in the directory
C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\. Add AllowAlternateAdmin=1 in the
Settings 7 section.
Enable Server Push Over HTTP Tunnels

To enable graceful document refresh over HTTP tunnels, tick this check box.
The Enable Server Push Over HTTP Tunnels feature only applies when a) using QlikView
Desktop or the Microsoft Internet Explorer plugin and b) the communication is tunneled.
If enabled, the client keeps asking the QVS if there is an available refresh, which consumes bandwidth.
If disabled, the user is not informed of an available refresh until actively performing some other operation.
Compress Network Traffic

To let large packages be compressed in communication between the client and the QlikView Server, tick this
check box.
The Compress Network Traffic feature should always be enabled.
Allow Extensions
To enable QlikView Extensions to be added to documents, tick this check box.
If enabled, extensions (normal or document) – residing in the proper Extensions folder – are available and
used.

6 System
If disabled, the QVS does not check for or use any extensions.
Cluster License
All QVSs in a cluster must have the same build number and share the same document root. When upgrading
to a new version of QlikView, this is normally not a problem, if all servers are stopped, upgraded, and re-
started in one go. However, if not all servers are upgraded at the same time, the build number and document
root have to be taken into consideration, since the original cluster is split into two sub-clusters during the
upgrade process – one that runs the original version of QlikView and one that runs the new version of
QlikView – until all servers have been successfully upgraded to the new version of QlikView. Both sub-
clusters share the existing cluster license, including all CALs.
The process for upgrading a single server in a cluster to a new version of QlikView is as follows:
1. Open the QlikView Management Console (QMC) on any server in the cluster.
2. Fill in the Alternate Build Number and Alternate Document Root fields (see below for
details). The field values are automatically propagated to all servers in the cluster.
3. Stop the server that is to be upgraded.
4. Install the new version of QlikView on the server that was stopped.
5. Open the Settings.ini file (normally located in the C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer folder)
on the server where the new version of QlikView was installed.
6. Edit the path to the root folder (“DocumentDirectory”), so that it points to the same folder as the
Alternate Document Root field in the QMC.
7. Start the upgraded server.
Alternate Build Number

In this text box, enter the build number for the new version of QlikView that is installed on the servers in the
cluster that are upgraded.
The build number is part of the QlikView version number. The format of the QlikView version number is as
follows:
<Major release version>.<Service release version>.<Build number>.0
l 12: Major release version (in this case, QlikView 12)
l 0: Service release version (in this case, QlikView 12.0)
l 11154: Build number
l 0: Always zero
Alternate Document Root

In this text box, enter the document root to be used by the servers in the cluster that are upgraded to the new
version of QlikView.

6 System
The document root for the sub-cluster that runs the new version of QlikView must differ from
the document root for the sub-cluster that runs the original version of QlikView (that is, the sub-
clusters must not share the same document root).
Folder Access
On the Folder Access tab, Supervisors and QlikView Publisher (QVP) Document Administrators can be
managed.
The System tab is unavailable for Document Administrators and Supervisors. This means that
they cannot access supporting tasks.

QlikView Web Servers
In the QlikView Web Servers folder, the QlikView Web Server(s) (QVWS) can be viewed and edited. A
QlikView Publisher (QVP) installation can contain many QVWSs located on different machines. Hence,
these components can also be added and deleted. A QVWS handles the following tasks:
l Hosting of the QlikView AccessPoint
l Load balancing of the QlikView Server (QVS)
l Keeping track of open sessions for the AJAX clients
l Handling of authentication (optional)
l Handling of general web content (optional)
A QVWS can either be installed as a windows service or to run under a Microsoft IIS; in the latter case, the
hosting of web content is not relevant.
If using a Microsoft IIS web server instead of the QVWS, the QVWS resource should still have
the Running status and the QVWS service under the Windows services applet should not be

Remote Management Services
In theRemote Management Services folder, tasks from the management services of remote servers
can be imported.
The involved environments must use the same major QlikView release (for example, QlikView
12 and QlikView 12 or QlikView 11 and QlikView 11.20). If the involved environments use
different major releases (for example, QlikView 11 and QlikView 12), the Remote Management
Services cannot be used.
Each connection is set up by the user account of the current Management Service; hence, this account has to
be a member of the QlikView Management API security group of the remote system.
If the QlikView Management API security group does not exist on the remote system, it must
be created.
This function can be used to retrieve tasks between QlikView Publisher (QVP) environments, typically
between a test system and a production system. To do this, a link, a remote management service, has to be
set up in the production system, towards the test system. Using the link, tasks can be pulled from the test
system into the production system. Since the test system usually has its own set of folders and servers, and
other folders and servers are used in production, the test items have to be mapped to the production items.
The link and the map are set up once only. Hence, when importing the tasks, the retrieval and mapping are
performed automatically.
The Remote Management Services cannot be used to import Supporting Tasks.
When importing a task, triggers of the type On Event from Another Task are excluded (that is,
not imported). To keep such triggers, all tasks have to be imported as described in Import task.

QlikView Servers
On the QlikView Servers tab, the mappings of the source and target QlikView Servers can be
managed. When importing tasks from another system, this mapping will be used to match the remote system
with the corresponding local system.
For example, a QVS is used for test purposes on a test system, and distributions are performed to this QVS.
To retrieve tasks from the test system into the production system, without causing that the production system
starts to distribute to the test servers, a mapping has to be set up. The mapping should define that every task
distributes to server 'X' when running on the test system, while the same task distributes to server 'Y' when
running on the production system.

QVD Creation
In the QVD Creation folder, supporting tasks for QlikView Data (QVD) creation can be viewed and
managed.
The QVD creation feature allows QlikView Administrators to deliver specific QVD files to specific QlikView
Developers and end-users. With QVD creation, QlikView Administrators can schedule tasks to create QVD
files. These tasks do not require an existing QlikView document (.qvw) file. Instead, the QlikView
Administrator can insert the load script necessary to generate a QlikView table into the QVD creation task,
and the QlikView Publisher (QVP) will execute the load script and automatically store the QVD in a desired
location.

Task Description
Parameters
Table Name
The name of the QVD database table. To edit the table name, enter the preferred name in this text box.
The table name is required, because the QVD creation task uses this name to generate the
QlikView table and QVD file. The QVD creation task will fail if the table name is not provided.
QVD Path
To select a folder for the QVD, click on the Browse icon, , and choose the folder in the Choose Folder
dialog.

Script
The load script that is required to generate the QVD file. To edit the script, enter the preferred statement in
this text box.
A QVD generation task can only create a single QVD file. The script entered into the task
should contain all the script necessary to create the QlikView table, including the necessary
'CONNECT' statements. The QVD creation task automatically adds the necessary 'STORE'
statement; therefore, this statement should not be included in the script.
