Comment on QlikView Scalability In A NUMA World by Jay Jakosky

I agree, but I do see it getting better. a) There are people on the front lines who are collecting and producing lots of enterprise-level knowledge. b) There is the “scalability center” which is feeding back real-world scenarios to R&D and giving us more tools for our deployments. c) At Qonnections they released a Hardware Benchmarking Toolkit for all of us to run and for them to aggregate and produce practical guidance on hardware configuration. d) That’s combined with a greater enterprise focus from the Product managers, particularly on the server side. Until then, I highly recommend contacting a partner that has large-scale deployment experience for real guidance.

I feel that scalabilty not being communicated effectively or honestly by QV. We dumped thousands into a new production environment using decent sized clustered 24 core machines. We moved our single 16 core machine into a test environment, I am always so frustrated to see that more often than not our test server can complete the same task in the same or often less time then our brand new servers. I wish we would have been told to expect this before shelling out all the money for a bigger server,

No, I didn’t. After hearing about the future direction of the product I don’t see any need for me or my company to build a custom mobile experience.

Did you attend to the QlikView iOS SDK session ?

Hi Lee,

I just went through your issue. I discovered that you need to declare the POST variable in the xmlhttp.send() command like this:

xmlhttp.send(“sXML=” + sXML)

Sorry I can’t remember the exact term but it has to do with the way Qlikview sends the request. I know it seems redundant but it worked for me.

Hope this helps, good luck!

Hi There

Great Blog! I am trying to create a QlikView write back example using macros to convert a tablebox to XML and submit it to a bit of classic ASP for processing (an old fashioned AJAX approach). It sounds like you have done quite a boit of this before. My simple macro for submitting the XML is below, but it seems to be stalling at the line that begins with “xmlhttp.open “. Have you done something like this before? Any idea what i might have wrong? (Thanks for any help you can offer).

sub webService(sXML, sTableID)
‘set this variable to correct URL where ASP page is located
xmlurl = “http://localhost/qlikviewdataupdate.asp”
‘Create xmlhttp opject and submit
Set xmlhttp = CreateObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”)
xmlhttp.open “POST”, xmlurl, false
xmlhttp.send(sXML)
‘now get the results from processing
sResult = xmlhttp.responseText
msgbox(sResult)
end sub

Comment on Where Have The QlikView Bloggers Gone? by Jay Jakosky

Since QlikTech stopped linking to a blogroll, readership has declined. An awful lot of blogs that emerged since QV 10 have stopped adding new posts. It’s too bad because, in my view of things, there’s a lot of interesting features coming up and some really neat work being done.

Hi Jay. I wonder how the graph would look now. Also, a graph on the discussion level in the Qlikview community? Just doesn’t seem as busy over the last while. Might be interesting? Maybe it’s just me.

Comment on Great Features In QlikView 11 by DV

Jay – I got hold of your blog by searching about Dr Henric Cronstrom. And I am glad I have got hold of your blog. You are doing fantastic job and so far all of your posts are helping to learn something new.

I am curious to know if these new features works only with Ajax Client or do they also work with IE? Also, if a user adds an objects by using the repository…I am assuming they are not just saved to his login account. Is this right? And it will be great if you can write a post on QV 11 integrating HTML5.

I’ll look forward to hear from you.

Thanks in anticipation.

Cheers – DV
