How to export QVD files from a Qlik™ Cloud Tenant

The direct export of QVD files stored on a Qlik™ Cloud Tenant is not currently supported.

In order to export a QVD file from a Qlik™ Cloud Tenant it is necessary to use an external storage solution. This is achieved using one of the available Qlik™ Web Storage Provider Connectors, connector that needs to be included in the Data Load script.

Here are the steps to export:

  • Use the ”SELECT” command, specify a list of fields to be included in the upload.
  • Then write a ”Store” command to set the file path in the storage provider.
  • Click ”Load data” to run the data load script, and Qlik Sense™ will complete the upload process.
