Qlik Setup

Qlik Sense

Desktop

• We'll have to edit settings.ini file and add our SSE plugin(s) information. The ini file path is:

  C:\Users\<USER>\Documents\Qlik\Sense\Settings.ini

• Under [Settings 7] the should be SSEPlugin row.

  Note

  If do not exists then create it.

  • In there we can specify the prefix, host and port for our plugin. The prefix will be used inside Qlik itself.

    SSEPlugin=myPlugin,localhost:50053
    

    To add multiple plugins:

    SSEPlugin=myPlugin,localhost:50053;myOtherPlugin,localhost:60053
    

    To use certificates we have to provide the path to where the certificates are stored:

    SSEPlugin=myPlugin,localhost:50053,c:/path/to/folder/with/certificates
    

Server

• Head to QMC -> Analytic connection section
• press Create new button

• And fill the required fields

  • name - the plugin identification (how to be access from the script)
  • host - the host where the connection is running
  • port - the port on which the connection is listening

  • Certificate path - if the connection is utilizing SSL then fill this with the path to where the Engine can access the certificates

    

  Note

  For my instance QS was looking the certificates on c:\ and was ignoring whatever path was specified in the field

  Note

  Make sure that the certificate domain matches the Host value

  Note

  For any issues please check the Engine logs C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log\Engine\Trace\<HOST>_SSE_Engine.txt
