Test connection to Qlik Sense server

Some of the Ctrl-Q commands are rather complex and it can be difficult to figure out what is wrong if the command fails.

To rule out any connection issues between the machine running Ctrl-Q and the Qlik Sense server it is possible to run the connection-test command.

Here you learn how that command is executed using certificate authentication, using the default certificates, port (for connecting to QRS using certificates) and virtual proxy.

Syntax

PS C:\tools\ctrl-q> .\ctrl-q.exe qseow connection-test --help
Usage: ctrl-q qseow connection-test [options]
