Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
•Get QlikView source information.
•Assign the required permissions.
•Install the Secure Agent on a Windows machine to configure a QlikView catalog source. Ensure that you install the QlikView Desktop tool on the same machine where the Secure Agent is running. Use the same user name to install the Secure Agent and the QlikView Desktop tool. The user needs to have full access control on the machine.
•Before you run a QlikView catalog source job, close all QlikView instances and check the Task Manager on the Windows machine to confirm that there are no QlikView processes running. The QlikView catalog source job might get stuck if there are any QlikView processes running on the same machine where the Secure Agent is running.
•If you don't have a QlikView Desktop license, lease a license from the QlikView Server.
The user that starts the Secure Agent must have the licensed edition of QlikView Desktop. The catalog source job doesn't extract any metadata from the QlikView source system if you are using the QlikView Desktop Personal Edition.
