Overview

An App Import Profile tells to inProcess App Operations which Qlik Applications it should upload and how they should be named in the target Qlik Sense Server or Qlik Cloud Tennant.

All App Import Profiles should be stored inside the AppImportProfiles node:

The AppImportProfiles attributes are:

• ProfileName
  (Required) Name of the App Import Profile. The ProfileName must be unique.
  This name is required and must be used during Bulk Import Apps Command commands.

• QVFSourceFolder
  (Optional) Folder where QVF files are stored.

• AppListJsonFileName
  (Optional) Full file name of stored list of exported Qlik Applications.
  FileName property will replace QVFSourceFolder parameter.
  When using AppList.json, we can use the AppNamePattern property to define how the QVF files will be renamed at the target Qlik Sense Server.
