List of custom settings applied to config files

If your deployment is upgraded to QlikView November 2018 or later, a list shows all non-default config values applied to the DSC, QDS, QMS and QVWS services in your deployment.

Select a service under Service Name. If one or more custom values are set, a section called Non default config values for machine <machine-name> is added in the information tab. If a QlikView service runs on multiple machines, a separate list of non-default values is created for each machine. If there are no custom values for the selected service, the message All values are default is displayed instead.

When a QlikView service is run on multiple machines, these machines should have the same config values, unless specific differences are needed. If QlikView Server identifies discrepancies for the same config setting on different machines, a section called Anomalies detected is added below the non-default config values section. This section lists for which settings the config values don't match on different machines.

In the non-default config values list, each customized setting is listed under Setting and displayed as it is in the exe.config file. Values modified by the admin are listed under Existing Value. Original values are listed under Default Value. See the examples below.

Example 1:  

The service is running without any reported problems.

<machine-name>: Running

All values are default

Example 2:  

All services in the cluster are running without any reported problems.

<machine-A>: Running

<machine-B>: Running

Non default config values for machine <machine-A>

Non default config values for machine <machine-B>

Anomalies detected
