Convert QlikView Applications

The Convert QlikView Applications step retrieves all QlikView applications specified in the migration plan, converts them to Qlik Sense applications, and saves the resulting .QVF files in the Converted Apps folder inside the project directory on the server.

Prerequisite steps

This step has no prerequisites.

Step details

Conversion process

This step leverages the underlying QlikView to Qlik Sense Converter Tool (QV2QS) to perform conversions, but does so programmatically through API calls.

By automating the process, the migration tool simplifies and scales the conversion of .QVW files to .QVF format, ensuring consistency across larger migrations.

Output

All converted applications are stored in the Converted Apps folder within the project. They can then be imported into Qlik Cloud through the Import QlikView Applications step.

Notes

A successful conversion requires setting the Export Type to With Data in the plan.

The resulting Qlik Sense application will likely require further UI edits upon import. Information about expected edits and limitations can be found in Adjustments Required and Conversion Scope.
