Your company might need to migrate its users from an old Active Directory domain to a new one. Sometimes usernames will also be renamed.
In some cases, it won't be possible to use the QMC to perform the migration of a document permission, due to users having the same name in the old and new domain.
Environment:
QlikView
Resolution
If documents are being distributed using the QlikView Publisher functionality, then the DistributionDetail.xml can be edited to have the new and old domain and user names replaced.
Prior to doing this, ensure that a QVPR backup exists.
- Locate the QVPR folder in: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\QVPR
- Stop the QlikView Management Service
- Locate the DistributionDetail.xml file.
- In the file, locate the old User ID
Example:
RecipientName="domain1\user1"
- Replace the domain and/or user ID
Example:
RecipientName="domain2\user2"
- Save the file
- Start the service
- Verify in the Distribution List that the Users have been changed.
