• Started coding when I was very young. First on the Spectrum 48k, then on the +3, and Amiga
A little about me
• What is Audit Logging?
Introduction
• Process to extract meta data from your scripts
• Different to the standard QlikView script and server logs
• How does this help?
Why Audit?
• Monitor Performance
• Alert you to changes with the source data
• Bug Fixing.
• Key touch points within the script store Meta Data into a QlikView table
• Once the script has finished QV stores the table as a QVD file
• Use a Developer Only Dashboard to interrogate the data
How it works
