Harvest

Important: A valid Vortex license (public key file) supplied by Axis Group is required to run the harvester. Without this license, the tool will not function.

What the Harvest Does

1. Application metadata — apps, sheets, objects, measures, dimensions, scripts, data models, and expressions
   
2. Environment information — streams/spaces, users, data connections
   
3. Execution data — reload tasks, script logs, session logs
   
4. Lineage information — connections and dependencies between objects
   
5. Usage statistics — engagement patterns and last modified dates
   

1. Valid public key / license file supplied by Axis Group
   

1. 443 — Qlik Sense Proxy Service (QPS)
   
2. 4242 — Qlik Sense Repository Service (QRS)
   
3. 4747 — Qlik Sense Engine Service (QES)
   

1. Configure — Set up the profile (config.local.json) with connection details, output location, and scope filters
   
2. Execute — Launch the harvester and press Enter to begin
   
3. Monitor — Watch progress as the tool reports App Harvest, QRS Harvest, and Folder Harvest status
   
4. Validate — Review the output directory to confirm metadata was captured correctly
   
5. Transfer — Send encrypted output to Axis Group via secure file transfer (psend.axisgroup.com)
   

1. Processes approximately 3 apps/minute at default concurrency settings
   
2. Concurrency can be adjusted via MaxConcurrentEngineAppConnections to balance speed vs. server load
   
3. The harvest consumes memory and CPU capacity from your Qlik environment during operation
   

Note: At customer discretion, the harvest can initially be performed against a development or test environment to evaluate impact before running against production.

Harvest History

Important: A valid Vortex license (public key file) supplied by Axis Group is required to run the harvester and generate harvest history. Without this license, the tool will not function.

1. Record of each harvest run performed
   
2. Timestamps of when harvests were executed
   
3. Status and completion information
   
4. Any errors encountered during harvesting (captured in Harvest Errors.json)
   
5. Log files stored in the Logs directory within the utility folder
   

1. Track Changes Over Time — Compare metadata across multiple harvests to identify environment changes
   
2. Analyze Usage Patterns — Understand application engagement through historical session data
   
3. Support Lineage Analysis — Use reload and script execution history to trace data flows
   
4. Audit Harvest Operations — Maintain a record of when and how harvests were performed
   
5. Troubleshoot Issues — Review logs to diagnose problems with specific harvest runs
   

1. Execution Logs — Logs directory within the Vortex harvester utility folder
   
2. Historical Metadata — Output location configured in the profile, including:
   
1. Reload Logs subfolder
   
2. Session Logs subfolder (QlikView)
   
3. Harvest Errors.json file
