During the past weeks I have developed what has turned into a fairly complex Qlik Sense solution, where reloading the main application takes on the order of 10 minutes. I know – Qlik apps should be kept small, with intermediate data sets stored as QVDs. But sometimes that’s just not
Qlik Sense is very much my go-to tool for many data related questions. It’s very powerful to be able to throw together a proof of concept or test a hypothesis in half an hour. Seeing is however believing, so those prototypes does need some polishing before they can
Butler SOS has matured quite a bit during past couple of years, with latest additions being fine-grained monitoring of what users are connected to what servers. Opens up for various interesting use cases, including notification to users before server restarts etc. A brand new doc site (butler-sos.ptarmiganlabs.
For years I have thought about ways to get data lineage info for all apps in a Qlik Sense Enterprise environment. It would be super useful to know exactly what apps use a particular data source, as well as vice versa (what data sources are used by a specific app)
I worked out the issue preventing me to add additional nodes to a Qlik Sense Enterprise system whose central node had been updated to June 2018. The June 2018 version of Qlik Sense Enterprise relies on a database called “SenseServices” to be available in the Postgres db (as in earlier
Qlik’s annual Qonnections conference in Orlando wrapped up yesterday. Three days packed with the latest from both the Qlikosphere in general and Qlik in particular. I had more session conflicts (where I wanted to attend several interesting sessions at the same time) than during any previous year, which is
They say looks isn’t everything, it’s the inside that counts. Certainly true, but when it comes to web apps – including Qlik Sense apps – looks is important. Let’s check – which of these apps would you rather use? I was recently (again…) faced with uploading a few hundred icons
This one is long overdue, but finally here: Butler SOS v2.0 The new version is an almost complete re-write of v1.0. Changes are plentiful and include * All warnings and errors stored by Sense in its log database are now pulled into Butler SOS, from where it can
A freebie for the weekend: Looks like Google is now offering a free ODBC driver for BigQuery. Google has licensed Simba’s driver, which is great! The Simba driver has proven very stable and performant, and being able to use it freely to access data in BigQuery is likely to
I recently had a need for an isolated Qlik Sense environment, in order to test some of the new features of Qlik Sense September 2017. While it works perfectly fine to run Sense with self-signed certificates, you then get browser warnings that the certificates are not valid etc. That
When relying on various Node.js services (e.g. Butler SOS, Butler, App Duplicator etc), you quickly run into the challenge to ensure all services are always up and running. A failing service might be fine, as long as it is quickly restarted in a predictable way. A concrete example
Developing apps on Qlik Sense is lots of fun, but also poses some challenges. The look and feel of your Sense apps is really important when it comes to end users’ first impressions of Sense. Digging deeper into the possibilities of Sense, extensions are an interesting way to enhance the
