Fetching and extracting assets
Step 1: Select Code Management, click "Download without samples" and download the SenseOpsCodeManagement_(version).zip folder.
Step 2: Navigate to the QlikSenseShare folder and create a separate folder, for instance "Tools" and extract the zip contents into it. Ensure that the recommended path for extraction is followed which should be C:\QlikSenseShare\Tools.
Establishing and launching the product
Step 1: Open the terminal or command prompt as an administrator and navigate to the extracted folder and run the index.js file by typing node index.js.
Step 2: After running the index.js file, you’ll receive a message confirming that the server has started at port 4040. Access the product by typing http://localhost:4040 in your browser. This will open the Database Configuration page.
Step 3: Provide the necessary database details and click "Test Connection". If the connection test fails or the server appears to be down, ensure that the server is up by typing the command node index.js in the terminal or command prompt to restart it.
Step 4: Upon successful connection, you'll see a message confirming the validity of the database configuration. Now click on Save to proceed. You need to restart the service in command prompt.
Note
If you are running the server on a Windows server, restarting the service in the command prompt is unnecessary, as the server will restart automatically.
