Qlik Sense

Qlik Sense is a business intelligence and visual analytics platform that supports a range of use cases including centrally deployed analytic applications, dashboards, custom, and embedded analytics within a scalable framework.

Objects Extracted

The Qlik Sense resource extracts metadata from the following assets in a Qlik Sense data source:

Permissions to Configure the Resource

Assign the RootAdmin role to the Qlik Sense user to access all the assets in the Qlik Sense resource.

Prerequisites

Add the machine details of the Qlik Sense host to the /etc/hosts file in the domain machine and the cluster machine where the Catalog Service is running.

Resource Connection Properties

The General tab includes the following properties:
Property
Description
Agent URL
URL of the external MITI agent.
Note: To extract metadata from the Qlik Sense data source, you must install the Enterprise Data Catalog Agent on the Qlik Sense server.
Engine API URL
URL of the Qlik API Engine.
User
User name of the administrator to connect to the Qlik Sense server.
User Directory
User directory of the Qlik Sense server.
Certificate
Location of the Qlik Sense client certificate.
Certificate Password
Password of the Qlik Sense client certificate. Specify the password if the Qlik Sense client certificate is generated with a password.
The following table describes the properties that you can configure in the Source Metadata section of the Metadata Load Settings tab:
Property
Description
Enable Source Metadata

Applications
Select the required applications created in the Qlik Sense source system.
Log Folder for Selected Applications
Path of the Qlik Sense log folder that is common for the selected applications.
Memory
The memory value required to run a scanner job.
Specify one of the following memory values:
  • - Low
  • - Medium
  • - High
Note: For more information about the memory values, see the Tuning Enterprise Data Catalog Performance article in How To-Library Articles tab in the Informatica Doc Portal
JVM Options
JVM parameters that you can set to configure scanner container. Use the following arguments to configure the parameters:
  • - -Dscannerloglevel=<DEBUG/INFO/ERROR>. Changes the log level of scanner to values, such as DEBUG, INFO, or ERROR. Default value is INFO.
  • - -DagentLogLevel=<NONE/FATAL/ERROR/WARNING/STATUS/INFO/DEBUG>. Changes the Enterprise Data Catalog Agent log level to values such as NONE, FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, STATUS, INFO, and DEBUG. Default log level is DEBUG. Use the ERROR log level when the Qlik Sense data set is huge.
  • - -Dscanner.container.core=<No. of core>. Increases the core for the scanner container. The value must be a number.
  • - -Dscanner.yarn.app.environment=<key=value>. Key pair value that you need to set in the Yarn environment. Use a comma to separate the multiple key value pairs.
  • - -Dscanner.pmem.enabled.container.memory.jvm.memory.ratio=<1.0/2.0>. Increases the scanner container memory when pmem is enabled. Default value is 1.
Note: You can enable miscellaneous options such as DatabaseType, FILEPATH, RequireLog, and m for a Qlik Sense resource using the JVM Options.
Track Data Source Changes
View metadata source change notifications in Enterprise Data Catalog.
Auto Assign Connections
Indicates whether the connections must be assigned automatically.
Enable Reference Resources
Extracts metadata about assets that are not included in this resource, but referred to in the resource. Examples include source and target tables in PowerCenter mappings, and source tables and files from Tableau reports.
Retain Unresolved Reference Assets
Retains unresolved reference assets in the catalog after you assign connections. Retaining unresolved reference assets help you view the complete lineage. The unresolved assets include deleted files, temporary tables, and other assets that are not present in the primary resource.

Unsupported Features

You cannot view the external lineage for applications that generate a QVD file for a Qlik Sense resource.
