Qlik Sense Source Code Control in Hybrid Setups
Efficient Qlik Sense source code control is key to managing applications across teams. A streamlined approach to collaboration, change tracking, and deployment management ensures efficiency and governance in hybrid environments.
In this blog, we explore how SenseOps simplifies Qlik Sense Source Code Control, providing a comprehensive solution for version management, deployment, and team collaboration.
Quick Links
To simplify code management, SenseOps has rolled out version control and governance for Qlik Sense applications on the Cloud, paving the way for deployment across on-premise and cloud versions from a single platform.
The release unlocked for the cloud variant, comprehensive Qlik Sense source code control, deployment, and CI/CD for apps with visual comparisons, approval management, and workflow-driven deployments across spaces, in line with capabilities from its existing Qlik Sense Enterprise version.
Tracking version changes in analytics development and governing code movement in Qlik Sense has been a crucial missing link in multi-user or multi-app setups. With the shift towards self-service for users to create and manage their apps, managing the spectrum of app changes becomes a necessity to collaborate, track contributions, resolve conflicts, iterate on data models and visuals, roll back changes, and, more importantly, have an audit trail of decisions made in the process
Why SenseOps for Qlik Sense Source Code Control
Qlik Sense empowers users with self-service analytics, but managing source code across multiple developers, versions, and environments remains a challenge. SenseOps fills this gap by providing a comprehensive source code control solution tailored for Qlik Sense, ensuring seamless version management, governance, and deployment efficiency. Without it:
Developers may overwrite each other’s changes.
There is no structured rollback in case of errors.
Compliance and audit trails are difficult to maintain.
Deployments across environments (on-premise & cloud) become challenging.
SenseOps Source Code Control Highlights
- Hybrid deployments: Seamless code movement from Qlik On-Premise to Cloud and vice-versa
- 1-click control: Quick deployment within spaces, rollback of changes
- Granular tracking: Most comprehensive visual comparison of version changes and traceability
- Smooth merging: Collaboration with multiple developers and approval-based merging of versions
Hybrid Movement
SenseOps facilitates quick switch-over between Qlik SaaS and On-premise infrastructure setups for code commits or progressions across environments. This flexibility in code movement ensures swift, continuous deployments and unified tracking, without the need for tedious interventions in hybrid setups.
One-Click Control
With SenseOps, managing deployments is simple. The one-click control feature allows users to schedule and run deployments or rollback in minutes using “Jobs” or user-defined tasks. Jobs are extremely effective in managing deployment across environments or tenants and can also be sequenced to activate custom workflows or “Packages”, making them critical in multi-tenant or large teams that have custom deployment workflows and security mechanisms
Granular Version Tracking
SenseOps offers anytime comparison of versions, enabling developers to get full visibility into all the changes made in their app development lifecycle across spaces. Users can visually compare changes between versions at multiple levels – Measures, Dimensions, Sheets, Scripts, and more, and take swift actions based on reviews.
Smooth Merging
Collaborating with multiple developers can often lead to code conflicts, especially when working on features in parallel. SenseOps addresses this challenge with its smooth merging capabilities, allowing developers to request for merging final versions of their code and approvers to review conflicts and resolve them, as and when they arise.
Qlik Sense Source Code Control Made Easy
Managing Qlik Sense Source Code shouldn’t be complex. With SenseOps, teams get seamless version control, faster deployments, and secure collaboration, ensuring smooth development across cloud and on-premise setups.
