Where is my QVPR located? How to locate the QlikView Management Service QVPR

The QlikView Management Console QVPR stores all task information and the system configuration that makes up the entire QlikView environment. 

It is by default stored in an .xml database in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService

This may be changed to either a different file location, or to be stored in an SQL database. 

If this was moved or changed, a new storage location will not be visible in the Management Console.

Environment:

SQL or Files?

To verify if you are using an .xml or SQL database, open the QlikView Management Console. 

Navigate to System > Setup > select Management Service at the top of the list > Repository

Management Console is Offline. What now?

If the Management Service is offline, and the QVPR cannot be located, open a previously created log file.

The Management Service log files are located in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\Log

Look for a service restart and the following lines:
 
This will indicate SQL or XML, as well as show a value in BaseDir if that has been changed.

If the storage location was changed, it was changed in the ManagementService.exe.config file located in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service as documented in How to move the QlikView Publisher Repository (QVPR).
