HandleObjectsManually
The HandleObjectsManually setting is designed for versions of Qlik Sense released before 2021, when the Export Scope feature (used to include or exclude objects such as sheets, stories, and bookmarks during export) was not yet available.
Description
When the HandleObjectsManually setting is enabled (true), Qlik Analytics Migration Tool does the following:
- Pre-publishes and approves every object that falls within the selected export scope.
- Exports the application to Qlik Cloud with all objects included.
- Preserves the objects' original ownership and visibility once post-migration steps are complete.
This workflow guarantees that no relevant content is lost, even in environments where Export Scope cannot be used.
Details
- Type: Boolean (
true/false) - Default value:
false - Defined in:
deployOptions.json - Location:
<InstallationLocation>/Qlik Analytics Migration Tool/Config/deployOptions.json
Recommendation
Enable HandleObjectsManually only when migrating from Qlik Sense versions earlier than 2021, or when Export Scope cannot be leveraged for any reason.
