Monitoring and auto-starting Node.js services on Windows Server

Monitoring and auto-starting Node.js services on Windows Server

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

URL encoding in Qlik Sense and QlikView

With so much cool data available online, tools like QlikView and Sense becomes real Swiss Army knives of data integration. Pull in some data from company internal databases, some data from previously created QVDs, and more and more commonly also from various online sources, both public and private. Depending on

Posting to Slack - and more - from Qlik Sense load scripts (part 3)

Quick update to the previous post on this topic. There is a new version of slack_proxy available on GitHub. It adds a new endpoint for creating directories on the server where slack_proxy is running. This obviously means that the apps name – “slack_proxy” – is not really that relevant

Windows update breaks QlikView server 11.20 SR10

Update: Turns out it is the “Update for Windows Server 2012 (KB3013767)” that when installed on the server in question prevents the QlikView Directory Service to start. Installing the other two updates mentioned below (KB3004365 and KB3029449) does not affect QV operation. While doing regular maintenance of a QlikView server

Using CoffeeScript to create QlikView extensions

I am not a Javascript fan. To be honest, I find it rather abusive. There are probably lots of theoretically sound reasons for designing the Javascript (=JS) syntax the way it is – but that does not make it more readable or easy to learn. I am however a QlikView (=QV)
