Using WIP Folder Connections
...
This is where it gets tricky because qlik does not provide an api for this task. WIP will open the connection, and get the “connection string” and a) like in the QMC
...
Two cases exists :
if it is a
...
shared drive Url starting with "\\"
...
will use it directly so PATH = “\\Nas01\QV Apps\Clinical”
...
it is a local
...
drive Url starting with a drive letter
...
like “C:\QV Apps\” in that case it
will be transformed to
...
PATH = ”\\Url\DriveLetter$\path” so “\\QlikServer Url\
...
C$\QV Apps\
...
”
...
Where the “Url” is defined as below in Url so in our case “\\ebiwin2016poc\E$\QV Apps\Clinical Variation\”
...
And it’s here the trick to connect a network connection we need a
path
username
password
The username depends :
for Browse it’s the Logged-In user (WIP\POCAdmin)
for Destination it’s the Server Username (WIP\EBIAdmin)
...

So use Computer name (This PC / Properties) to form the Url like https://EBIWin2016/ in our sample
...
And define Url like this
...
Debugging WIP Folder Connections
You can try to replicate WIP connections
In the WIP Web Server Explorer: PC / MapNetwork Drive
Folder : put WIP Server Url in the form \\serveurl\c$
Credentials : WIP username and Password defined in the Qlik Server
