Qlik Sense
OvalEdge provides a Qlik Sense connector that supports integration with both on-premises and cloud deployments of Qlik Sense. The connector enables metadata extraction, report structure visibility, and lineage tracking for Qlik Sense assets across supported environments.
Connector Configuration Steps
Users are required to have the Connector Creator Role in order to configure a new connection.
Log into the OvalEdge application, navigate to Administration > Connectors, click + (New Connector), and search for Qlik Sense.
In the Type of Server field, select one of the following options from the dropdown:
Configuration Overview
The selected Type of Server determines the configuration flow, authentication method, and connectivity approach.
QliksenseOnPrem Uses REST APIs and WebSocket for connectivity. Supports Windows, JWT, cookie-based, and certificate-based authentication. Requires a service account with appropriate administrative permissions.
QliksenseCloud Uses REST APIs for connectivity. Authentication is performed using a Qlik Sense Cloud API key. Requires appropriate access permissions for metadata extraction.
Authentication and Access
Authentication and access control depend on the selected server type and are governed by service account permissions and application-level access rights.
Configuration parameters, authentication methods, and metadata extraction behavior vary based on the selected Type of Server. Validate connectivity and permissions before enabling crawling and lineage operations.
