Version: April 2019 (5.16.1), Date: 2019-03-24
Introduction
Welcome to this quick guide to installing Qlik GeoAnalytics on a QlikView Server.
Note that you will need a Qlik LEF license to install version 5.8 or later.
Installation
- Start by unzipping 'GeoAnalyticsForQlikViewServer-<version>.zip' into any folder on the server computer.
- Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the 'GeoAnalyticsForQlikViewServer-<version>.zip'
- The next step is to extract the zip files to a folder where your QlikView Server expects to find extensions. This depends on the system as follows
- Windows Server 2008: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects
- Windows Server 2003: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects
- After you have unzipped all GeoAnalytics files the directory structure should look like this:
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\Animator
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioAreaLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioBubbleLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioChartLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioLineLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioHeatmapLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioGeodataLayer
- ..\QlikTech\QlikViewServer\Extensions\Objects\IdevioMap
- 1) Run the GeoAnalyticsSetup to set up GeoAnalytics. This includes activating the Serial Number.
- 2) That is it, you should now be ready to use GeoAnalytics for QlikView Server
Custom Installation
If you have installed your Server to use different paths to resources than the standard paths.
Please use the "Custom Installation" option when applying license in the GeoAnalyticsSetup.
Updating
To update your existing GeoAnalytics for QlikView Server simply remove all GeoAnalytics folders and repeat the steps in the Installation section.
After Installing/Updating
If you install the GeoAnalytics extensions as instructed but
get the error "Invalid Visualization", it most likely is because
QlikView occasionally has problems with its cache. To resolve this
issue you need to clear the browser cache, but how you do that
depends on how you run QlikView.
Below you will find a short step by step guide on how to clear
the cache depending on how you run QlikView. Terminology may
differ between languages but the functionality should be the same.
- 1) Navigate to the app you are having problems with.
- 2) Press F12 or Ctrl+Shift+j to open the developer tools.
- 3) Once the developer tools page is open you will find a tab
called "Network". It will be between "Elements" and "Sources". Click
it.
- 4) On the very top of the "Network" tab you will find the check
box "Disable Cache". Check it if not already checked.
- 5) Hit F5 to refresh.
- 6) You can now close the developer tools by pressing F12 again.
- If you have the same problem with other apps, just repeat the
process with that app.
- 1) Navigate to the app you are having problems with.
- 2) Press F12 to open the developer tools.
- 3) Once the developer tools page is open you will find an icon
that looks like a small cogwheel. It is located in the top-right
corner of the developer tools. Click it.
- 4) Look for a check box labeled "Disable Cache". Check it if not
already checked.
- 5) Hit F5 to refresh.
- 6) You can now close the developer tools by pressing F12 again.
- If you have the same problem with other apps, just repeat the
process with that app.
- This is for Internet Explorer 9, but the steps for Internet
Explorer 10 and 11 is most likely very similar.

cogwheel) and click it.
- 2) Navigate to the "Safety" option and click the "Delete Browsing
History" button.

"Temporary Internet files".

process with that app.
- Once an app is working the cache should not be a problem again.
