The rest of the post is focused on these Standard connectors, and what you can do with them.
Simply download the product from Qlik’s download site ( here) and you can start using the Standard connectors straight away for free. Moving swiftly to the good news though, there is an expanded list of ‘Standard’ connectors, and these are available at no cost. Hopefully this will change in future, perhaps with some closed NDA betas. The result of the move to Qlik is both good and bad, to give the bad news first – the beta connectors have been removed and at present it is not possible to get access to them. One of the neat features of QVSource, as it was, was that when you purchased any connector you got a number of extra connectors included and you also got the ability to test any beta connectors that were in development. So, where do the changes lie in the new version? If you are not yet familiar with the product, this use case given in this post about connecting to a secure intranet page with QVSource should give you a good feel for why you may need this product. Those of you familiar with the product will be pleased to hear that the functionality of the product remains the same, and the UI is very much like when I blogged about it on the release of the web version of QVSource. With the purchase and re-branding of QVSource there were bound to be some changes.
In this post I look at some of what you can do with this product without licencing premium connectors. This month QVSource re-launched under the name Qlik Web Connectors, with a number of free ‘Standard’ connectors. At Qonnections this year it was announced that ICB were being purchased by Qlik. Quick Intelligence were long standing partners of Industrial Codebox and re-sellers of their QVSource product.
