QlikView Publisher Repository (QVPR)

The QlikView Publisher Repository (QVPR) is a database that stores metadata about QlikView documents, users, and server objects. It is used by the QlikView Publisher, which is a component of the QlikView Server that is responsible for managing and distributing QlikView documents within an organization.

The QVPR stores information about the QlikView documents that are published on the QlikView Server, including the document’s name, location, and access permissions. It also stores information about the users who have access to the documents, including their user names, passwords, and permissions.

In addition to storing metadata, the QVPR also stores the historical data for QlikView documents, including the data load scripts and any changes made to the document. This allows administrators to track changes to the documents over time and revert to previous versions if necessary.

The QVPR is a critical component of the QlikView Server, as it enables the server to manage and distribute QlikView documents to users and maintain the integrity of the data. It is important to regularly maintain and optimize the QVPR to ensure optimal performance of the QlikView Server.

The QlikView Publisher Repository (QVPR) is a database that stores information about the QlikView environment, such as the location of documents and user access rights, and reloads tasks. It is an integral part of the QlikView Publisher, which is a component of the QlikView server that is used to automate the distribution and management of QlikView documents.

The QVPR stores the following information:

• Document metadata: Information about the documents that are stored in the QlikView environment, such as the document name, location, and access rights.
• User access rights: Information about the access rights of users and user groups, including the level of access that users have to the system and to data.
• Reload tasks: Information about the tasks that are used to reload data in the QlikView environment, such as the schedule for the task and the data sources that are used.
• Logging: Information about the activity that occurs in the QlikView environment, such as user logins and data access.

The QVPR is used by the QlikView Publisher to automate the distribution and management of QlikView documents. It is also used to control access to data and to monitor system usage. The QVPR is essential for ensuring that the QlikView environment is running smoothly and for maintaining the security of the system.

When creating a new document or modifying an existing one, the changes are saved to the QVPR and this update is reflected in the QlikView Management Console (QMC)

QVPR is also used in QlikView’s Centralized Deployment. This allows the use of a single point of management for the entire QlikView environment, providing a unified view of all the QlikView documents, tasks, and users across the entire organization.
