Open and run .qvw (qlikview) file through Jenkins
To open and run a QlikView .qvw
file through Jenkins, you can utilize the QlikView command line executable (qv.exe
) and Jenkins build steps. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Install QlikView on the machine where Jenkins is running or on a machine accessible from Jenkins.
Open the Jenkins web interface and navigate to your desired Jenkins project or create a new one.
In the project configuration, add a new build step. Select the "Execute Windows batch command" option.
In the batch command field, provide the full path to the QlikView executable (
qv.exe
) along with the appropriate command line arguments to open and run the.qvw
file. For example:shell"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" /r "C:\path\to\your\file.qvw"
Replace
"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe"
with the actual path to theqv.exe
executable on your machine. Update"C:\path\to\your\file.qvw"
with the path to your specific.qvw
file.Save the Jenkins project configuration.
Now, when you run the Jenkins build, it will execute the provided batch command and launch the QlikView executable, which will open and run the specified .qvw
file.
Note: Ensure that the Jenkins user has appropriate permissions to access and execute the QlikView executable and the target .qvw
file.
