Qlikview DataModelling & Development Checklist

Functional Design requirements (FDD) exists? Technical Design requirements (TDD) exists? Data Flow diagram in TDD exists? QVD generator files and QVD staging documented in TDD?

mentation

Model
Synthetic keys removed from data model to avoid synthetic tables Circular reference loops removed in the data model Mapping used instead of DB joins whenever the DB involves complex joins Integers used to join tables where possible Only the required field names used in the SQL instead of using 'Select *' QVD files used instead of 'resident' tables to improve performance Incremental loads used wherever possible All the unwanted data removed from the data model Since Qlikview is case sensitive, all the data stored multiple times have the correct matching case Multiple fact tables organised into a single fact tabel using concatenate to result in one star schema

ing
Naming standards used for columns, tables, variables Scipt comments included wherever possible All connection strings in Include file Business rules calculations performed in the script level ,incase of DB performance issues Memory intensive calculations not used in the chart expressions Complex string keys converted into numeric format using the Autonumber() function Multiple Scripting tabs ,one tab per security,date and calendar,data source,key measure,lookup table Security related code is written in hidden script

ace Design
Use of colors for contrast/focus only Use of neutral and muted colors Use of templates/themes where available Display optimized for user screen resolutions Design consistency across tabs Formatting consistency across objects Drop-down selections on all straight/pivot table columns Number of sheets/tabs kept to a minimum

Management
Macros checked into Macro listing Use of Common Variables for expressions

Publisher 1 Verify whether all the services are up and running? Accesspoint server

2 Are the publisher logs, command center logs generating? Are the Qlikview WebServer and Server logs are generating? Are the reports opening in accesspoint or not? (Test 3 Reports in each accesspoint by opening through IE Plugin and AJAX).
