Import QlikView Applications

The Import QlikView Applications step imports all converted QlikView applications listed in the migration plan by retrieving the .QVF files from the Converted Apps folder inside the project directory and creating them in the Qlik Cloud tenant.

Prerequisite steps

• Convert QlikView Applications

Step details

• Source files:
  The applications are sourced from the .QVF files generated during the conversion process. These files contain the transformed contents of the original QlikView applications.

• Deployment in Qlik Cloud:
  Each application is created as a new app in Qlik Cloud, including all extracted variables, master items, and visualizations.

• Metadata Tagging:
  Upon import, the app description is automatically updated to include a JSON object. This object contains:

  • A unique internal ID generated during retrieval
  • Any metadata required to trace the app's source

  This structured metadata allows other migration steps to locate and operate on the correct app consistently.

Notes

• To restore original app descriptions after the migration, use the Reset QlikView App Descriptions step in the Post Migration category.
