Qlik Sense Enterprise distribution policies govern how Qlik Sense apps are distributed from an on-premises Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows node to Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS.
You will want to distribute apps from Qlik Sense Enterprise to your deployment for consumption by users with multi-cloud access. To be able to distribute apps to multi-cloud, you define distribution policies. With distribution policies, you determine which published apps that are distributed to Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS. Distribution policies are required for distributing apps to cloud. If a published app is not covered by a distribution policy, then it will not be distributed.
Distribution policies are initially evaluated on Qlik Sense Enterprise when apps are published. The result is a list of deployments on Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS that will receive a copy of the published app. The distribution policies are re-evaluated when previously published apps are changed, moved, or deleted.
Creating distribution policies
The following is a high-level description of the steps involved when creating distribution policies:
-
Set the resource filter to determine what resource the rule applies to (App_*).
-
Select the actions that the rule grants (Distribute).
-
In the rule editor, define conditions for the rule.
App custom properties and stream names from publish actions offer useful values to test in the rule conditions you define.
-
Validate the rule.
-
Apply the rule.
