In multi-cloud deployments, applications can be published from Client-Managed Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud.
In a multi-cloud Client-Managed Qlik Sense deployment, administrators can configure streams in the hub to publish copies of applications in those streams to Qlik Cloud. When an application is published to another deployment, it is staged. A tenant administrator can then move the staged application to a managed space.
Applications published to another deployment are view-only. In multi-cloud deployments, hub functions such as scheduling reloads or collaboratively developing the application in a shared space are not supported. The application can only be updated or changed in the client-managed Qlik Sense hub.
Distributing and publishing an application from client-managed Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud does not include the private community sheets. Only published community sheets are available.
Staged applications
In Qlik Cloud, applications without owners that are not in spaces are called staged applications. When an application is published to a cloud hub from Client-Managed Qlik Sense, it will not have an owner or space. A tenant or analytics administrator can assign it to a managed space from the Administration activity center.
For more information on managing staged applications in the Administration activity center, see Managing applications.
Tags
If you want to use tags in applications that are distributed from Client-Managed Qlik Sense to Qlik Cloud, you need to create a custom property called Tags and then add appropriate values that can be used when distributing the application. If a distributed application has a tag value Sales, that value is synced with the cloud application and visible in the application details. If a distributed application doesn't have any tag value, the displayed value in the application details is empty.
Streams and tags
The Qlik Sense administrator can have a distribution policy that distributes published applications with added application properties with one or more tags to a Qlik Cloud tenant.
When an application is published to a stream in client-managed Qlik Sense, distribution policies determine the target cloud hubs that will receive the application with the tags. You can set application properties that control the destination cloud hub and tags when publishing in the client-managed Qlik Sense hub. Client-managed Qlik Sense by default copies the application from the stream to Qlik Cloud with the tags when you publish. The destination for each distribution is controlled by distribution policies managed by your Qlik Sense administrator.
Applications can be published to only one stream, but they can be published with multiple tags to multiple Qlik Cloud tenants.
Your administrator can see the time of the last sync in the stream properties.
Depending on your organization you may prefer to move applications to an archive stream with no distribution policy instead of just removing the application.
Tagged applications can be modified in client-managed Qlik Sense hub, like an application in any other client-managed Qlik Sense stream. In client-managed Qlik Sense hub. You can:
- Duplicate applications in the stream.
- Republish the application in the stream.
- Manage application custom properties.
- Open the application in Published.
In an open application in client-managed Qlik Sense, you can:
- Publish and unpublish personal sheets and stories.
- Add public sheets and stories to the application or remove them from the application.
