Problems reloading a Qlikview document with section access in Qlikview server without a distribution license?
Reloading a Qlikview document with section access on the server will cause an error if you forget to define the NTNAME with the user account which runs the Qlikview services. Only with the NTNAME defined, Qlikview server can access the QVW for reloading.

Last week I was installing Qlikview server 9 with a community license. This type of license only allows two Qlikview documents on the server at the same time. After some testing the Qlikview documents were locked and there was no possibility to unlock or remove them. Qlikview support gave me the following solution:

I’ve come across a blog post on Qlikster where “Qliklets” are introduced. Qliklets are like widgets, but powered by Qlikview. On the Qlikster blog they show an example of a Qliklet for browsing a catalog and finaly linking to a webpage where you can order the item you selected. They also have a website that is build with qlikview that is linked to the targeted website from the widget. I think Qlikster uses the Qlikview functionality in a very nice non BI way, so i thought it was worth mentioning.
You can visit the blog post with working widget eh…Qliklet… here.

Funny, while Oracle is still denying the fact that Qlikview is a real competitor to the solutions offered by Oracle on BI I was very surprised by the fact that one of the blogs I’m following for a long long while and that is (in my humble opinion) an authority on Oracle BI related issues writes a little review about qlikview. Mark Rittman (an oracle ACE) and the specialist on Oracle BI, essbase, hyperion etc. writes:
“the total size of the QlikView document (including the data) was only 4MB and took about 1 minute to load and prepare, whereas the corresponding Essbase data set (as built in this OTN article) took up several gigabytes of space and took over an hour to load and prepare. Impressive stuff.”

When working with QlikView documents we bring data by editing the script (usually through wizards) and pressing the reload button.
Have you tried to quickly see the contents of a table you’ve just loaded right after executing the reload? I happily found out the new QlikView 9 includes a feature to preview the contents of a table, directly from the table viewer.
In the meantime we just have to create a tablebox to see the contents of a table, which is not a big deal (it takes 4 clicks). But there are also other features that have been included in QlikView a long time ago that give you very useful information about the data being loaded, at a glance.

It looks like the interface of MS project gemini looks a lot like Qlikview does. Click here , here and here. More sneakpreview at the MSDN blog here.
Where is MS and BI heading? Are there readers who have more info about this project?
