Administering Qliksense

Administering Qliksense:

This contains information on how to deploy qliksense on single node.Before proceeding to install,consider the below prerequisites.

We have to set up a functional account to run qliksense services going to install on server. After creating the functional account,it needs to be added in the administrators group located in the computer management. Once it is added, the account  has complete access to the server. Please find below screen shot shows where functional account needs to be added

Earlier qilksense used to release the two types of installations synchronized and shared persistence. As there were some issues with synchronized persistence qliksense stopped releasing sync persistence from 3.2 version. Now we have only shared persistence installation type. Let me give a brief introduction on sync and shared persistence.(shared persistence has only database installed only on central node and it has shared by slave/rim nodes if there are any where as sync persistence has database installed on each node)

For shared persistence type, We need to create a shared folder to store repository files. This should be created on central node and should be shared. The path needs to be given in one place as part of installation. Will explain installation in the next post.
