Qlik Analytics Platform can be used for extranet solutions, where Qlik Analytics Platform content is published to external users through a webserver. Qlik Analytics Platform deployed in DMZ will commonly be unable to reach internal data sources and thereby have is unable to reload. 

On the internal side of the DMZ a Qlik Sense Enterprise environment is placed to allow for app development and internal business discovery. 
The DMZ firewall makes it difficult to enable the same app to be published and reloaded on both Qlik Sense Enterprise and Qlik Analytics Platform. 

 

 

Resolution:

 

Qlik Sense Enterprise Setup

The Qlik Sense Enterprise server resides on a machine on the inside of the DMZ firewall. Data is fetched through a ETL based structure on the Qlik Sense Enterprise environment, where data from source is processed and stored into QVD files. All internal users access Qlik Sense resources(like Hub and QMC) through this server. 

Qlik Analytics Platform Setup

Qlik Analytics Platform server is running in a DMZ, where a webserver access QAP content and embed in web page(s). Apps in Qlik Analytics Platform are setup to reload from QC

DEPLOYMENT SETUP

The assumption for this solution is that Qlik Analytics Platform and Qlik Sense Enterprise reside on separate physical machines, and that a strict firewall is located between Qlik Analytics Platform and Qlik Sense Enterprise. This means that Qlik Analytics Platform can not access any resources on the Qlik Sense Enterprise side of the firewall.

DATA LAYER

Best practice for data processing is to establish a ETL structure. QVD files are used as the data layer between each of the ETL apps. On Qlik Sense Enterprise  side the final app would then load its entire data model from QVD files.

DATA DISTRIBUTION

The data layer for the app needs to be copied to Qlik Analytics Platform side. The file transfer through the firewall can be accomplished by a secure file transfer with a 3rd party tool that securely moves the file across from Qlik Sense Enterprise to Qlik Analytics Platform side. The file transfer frequency can be time based or triggered by file change.

The result of a successful file transfer is that the minimum required QVD for Qlik Analytics Platform are copied to Qlik Analytics Platform side. The app on Qlik Analytics Platform side is now able to reload with same data as on Qlik Sense Enterprise side. 

APP FILE DISTRIBUTION

The simplest setup is to manually export app from Qlik Sense Enterprise and import in Qlik Analytics Platform. The app file would only need to be moved when the layout or structure changes, so the effort should be minimal even if it requires manual work.
