As a QlikView enthusiast, i am always in search of  good material to enhance my knowledge and enhance my ability to help my clients. QlikView Server Publisher book has given me good exposure to QlikView Server and Administration.

This book helps in providing end-end QlikView solution. It is not enough to know only how to create dashboards but as a developer you may also have to deploy your solutions on the QlikView Server. This book provides in depth knowledge on Server administration.

2. Chapter 2  gives you step-step installation  process.It is important to know how to install QlikView Server and how to verify the installation

3. Chapter 3 gives an in-depth knowledge of various settings in QlikView Management console. You will learn about how to mount folders and how to set Alerts in case your data load fails or if the task successfully completes. Alerts are covered in more detail in Chapter 6
