Migrate an app by using the OpenDoc method.
The OpenDoc method compares the version of the application with the version of Qlik Sense and migrates the application to the current version of Qlik Sense if necessary. Once the migration is done, the application is opened.
If no migration is needed, the application is opened immediately.
The following applies:
- The application version is lower than 0.95: no migration is done. Applications older than the version 0.95 are not supported.
- The application version is at least 0.95 and less than the Qlik Sense version: the application is migrated and then opened.
- Qlik Sense and the application have the same version: the application is opened, no migration is needed.
Information noteIf the application is read-only, the application migration cannot occur. An error message is sent.
Backups
In Qlik Sense Desktop, applications are automatically backed up before a migration.
The backup files are located in %userprofile%\Documents\Qlik\Sense\AppsBackup\<Qlik Sense Desktop version>.
In Qlik Sense Enterprise, no automatic back up is run. The back up should be done manually.
