Indices and tables¶

There are two ways to get Qlik-Script-Tools. You can either: 1. Checkout Qlik-Script-Tools from github:

git checkout https://github.com/BenSimonds/Qlik-Script-Tools

Or install with Pip:

pip install Qlik-Script-Tools.

You can start by trying subbify on a qvs script:

QVSubbify "MyScript.qvs"

Behold! Automated qvw generation! See Examples for more ways to use Qlik-Script-Tools.

Block class acts as a container for a chunk of Qlik script. Blocks can be imported from plain text, or from structured xml files.
BlockLibrary class combines a container for a bunch of blocks as well as methods for creating, storing and manipulting blocks, as well as writing their content to qvs files.
QVD class allows you to read in the xml header of a qvd file, providing access to it’s metadata such as creator doc, reload date, fields, etc.
BlockLibary can also create blocks from QVD classes. This allows for reading in a qvd, and then writing the load script to load it into a file.
Batch loading of qvds from a directory can also be done.
Some blocks have replace lists. This allows for string replacement within a block, for example to pass variables or rename tables.
PRJ class has tools for reading in a prj folder, with XPath based find and replace for xml files (useful for batch editing objects).
Subbify tool - load in an existing qvs script, and subbify will generate a qvw file with each tab made into a separate subroutine, useful for making ETL scripts modular.
Logfile parsing with ability to extract qvds loaded and build a dependency graph by iterating through logfiles.
