QlikSense
Change Root Directory in Sense Server
• Create a new folder for share on the intended destination
• Share this path
• Right Click > Properties
• Share > Share
• Add in the service account to have Read/Write permissions
• Copy the Network path to a text editor for reference later
• Stop all Qlik Sense services except for the Qlik Sense Repository Database / PostgreSQL on all nodes
• Move the Apps, ArchivedLogs, CustomData, and StaticContent folders from the previous share location to the new share
• Open the QlikSenseUtil.exe file (default location C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository\Util\QlikSenseUtil\QlikSenseUtil.exe)
• If you've customized the installation path for Qlik Sense then it will be located at Drive:\Path\Where\Installed\Repository\Util\QlikSenseUtil\QlikSenseUtil.exe with adjustments to the bolded section to point to where Qlik Sense has been installed
• In QlikSenseUtil
• Click on the Connect to database button to connect to the underlying Repository Database
• Host Name: Enter the hostname of the Repository database
• Most situations would use localhost here if run from the Central Node
• Database user: qliksenserepository
• Unless you've configured the site to run using a different account. This is extremely rare
• Password: password for the qliksenserepository user
• Next click on the Service Cluster section and click OK to retrieve the current share path values
• Replace the existing values with the new share path
• Ensure that there are no double slashes in the paths (e.g. \\QlikSense\\Apps) as this is not a logical Windows path
Example before values:
Example after values:
• Click on Clear to clear the values and then OK to retrieve the values which exist in the underlying database to ensure that the previously entered values were saved in an expected manner
• It is ideal here to copy one of the paths and ensure that they work as expected in Windows
• Start all previously stopped Qlik Sense Services
