Qlik-Cli timeout on large apps

[Sarvjeet-Saini]

Hi team,

We are using Qlik-CLI to call Qlik Apis for automation. But unfortunately, Copy app function is getting timeout error of large apps {~8GB}. We have downloaded the latest version and tested it. Script: Script/CLI Commands :

Connect-Qlik -Computername $qlikSenseProxyHost -UseDefaultCredentials -TrustAllCerts

$app_id = getAppID -AppName "Test APP" -AppOwner "singhs2" $app_id

$start_time = Get-Date Copy-QlikApp -id $app_id -name "Test APP - testcopy2" Write-Output "Time taken : $((Get-Date).Subtract($start_time).Seconds) second(s)" error: Output :

uildVersion : 17.6.4.0 buildDate : 9/20/2013 10:09:00 AM databaseProvider : Devart.Data.PostgreSql nodeType : 1 sharedPersistence : True requiresBootstrap : False singleNodeOnly : False schemaPath : About

• ... $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $method -Uri $path @params -Web ...

• 
  + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

Time taken : 41 second(s)

As you can see it timed out in 41 sec.

This code works fine for smaller apps.
for large apps, API completed copy file but get time out error.

We have also tried setting up timeout in powershell but it didn't help.

Can you please investigate it. It is a showstopper for us. We have discussed this with Qlik support but they are not able to assist as it is CLI issue.

Same problem here. Obviously if one uses engine API for duplication it works but engina api with powershell is kind of playing wit clientsocket in PS which is everything but user friendly:)

Hi guys,

I have had the same problem as you have only one difference that the issue started occur from around 300 MB apps but I found solution which seems helped:

1. Update PowerShell to 5.1 version. 2. Navigate to Qlik-Cli module in PowerShell folder. Navigate to "functions" section and select "core" file. Right - mouse click on it. Select "Edit". In opened PowerShell ISE window scroll down to line 29 and 32. Update lines with: "-TimeoutSec 3600" parameter. It should look like: Line 29: $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $method -Uri $path @params -SessionVariable webSession -TimeoutSec 3600 Line 32: $result = Invoke-RestMethod -Method $method -Uri $path @params -WebSession $script:webSession -TimeoutSec 3600

I am not sure which of these changes had impact or maybe they both helped me out but maybe it will also resolve and your issues. NOTE "-TimeoutSec 3600" means that timeout will be after 1 hour, you can change to higher value depending on our case.

Good luck!

The -TimeoutSec option is now available on the Connect-Qlik command
