Application Lifecycle Management with Platform Manager
Platform Manager organizes and controls Development and Promotion of your BI applications with simple process steps. Result: Less failure, less risk and more time to analyze your data. Feature rich, easy to understand, simple to implement.
Platform Manager Highlights
Increased Quality
An enforced approval process forces approval/signoff of a Qlik application before it can be promoted to a production environment. The Difference Analyses report allows more focused testing of changes made. Result: Better test result in less time.
Consistency
Many Qlik apps are related to other Qlik apps through QVD generators. It’s important to understand these dependencies because they can cause issues in other applications. Release management helps you to keep your production environment consistent. In case of issues with one of the apps simply restore the entire release to a previous version and solve the issue in that one app. This will keep your production environment consistent since all Qlik apps in the former version of the release have been tested against each other.
Fast & Reliable Deployment
Deployment is enforced by Platform Manager. The auto promote option leaves no room for mistakes. All deployed Qlik applications are replaced with new versions using the settings that were used before. Individual users do not need access to the Qlik servers since embedded roles are used for publication of Qlik applications
Single Point of Truth
All versions are available through Platform Manager. You can see which version is available in which environment. You can see which apps are being developed and by whom, which apps are being tested and which versions are in use by the Business.
