Validate Applications

The Validate Applications step compares each application's Qlik Sense Client-Managed version with its Qlik Cloud version to assess the success of the migration. This is performed through data and object-level validation using WebSocket connections to both environments.

Prerequisite steps

• Import Applications

Step details

• Retrieval method:
  Applications are resolved by their app description metadata created during the Import Applications step.

• Validation logic:

  • Establishes WebSocket connections to both the on-premise and Qlik Cloud versions of the app.
  • Compares data models to determine whether both apps contain data.
  • If data exists in both, performs a detailed object-level comparison:
    • Non-private charts are converted to hypercube definitions.
    • Inner hypercube data structures are compared for consistency.

• Report output:
  A comprehensive validation report is generated and saved in .XLSX format under the Validations folder within the Job folder on the server.

Notes

• Only public sheet objects are included in the comparison.
• If the application was exported without data, the Reload Applications step must be completed before running this validation.
• This step is useful for validating business logic accuracy and ensuring that the cloud version behaves identically to the on-premise version.
