Importing apps

You can import an app if your browser supports HTML5 upload.

Do the following:

1. Select Apps on the QMC start page or from the StartS drop-down menu to display the overview.

2. Click PImport in the top right corner.

   The Import app dialog opens.

3. Select a file to import.

4. Browse to the app (qvf file) you want to import and click Open.

   Information noteThere is a maximum limit for simultaneous transports, and if the maximum is reached an error message is displayed.

   The browse dialog closes and the name of the qvf file is displayed in the App name field in the Import app dialog.

   If you want to change the name of the app, edit the App name field. If the App name is not unique, a message is displayed with information on how many apps already have this name.

   Information noteIf the name of a data connection in the imported app is the same as the name of an existing data connection, the data connection will not be imported. This means that the imported app will use the existing data connection with an identical name, not the data connection in the imported app.

5. Click Import in the dialog.

   The Ongoing transports dialog opens. Any other transports you have initiated are also displayed in the dialog.

   • A spinner is displayed during the file import. Duration shows you how long the import has been ongoing.

   • Click E if you want to cancel the import.

     è and Aborted is displayed and the import stops.

   • Click OK if you wish to remove a failed item è.

     The item is removed from the Ongoing transports dialog.

   When the app is imported, m is displayed and the app is added to the Apps overview. When all your transports have finished successfully the Ongoing transports dialog closes.If there are any failed transports the dialog is displayed until the overview page is refreshed.

You now have imported an app.

Moving apps with ODBC data connections

If you move an app between Qlik Sense sites/Qlik Sense Desktop installations, data connections are included. If the app contains ODBC data connections, you need to make sure that the related ODBC data sources exist on the new deployment as well. The ODBC data sources need to be named and configured identically, and point to the same databases or files.
