Hi,
Background
A while back, I jumped ship to Mac, and I am now on a 27â³ iMac (5K). After lots of other considerations than checking if Qlik was compatible with Mac, I ended up making the purchase. However, after making the purchase, I was somewhat sad to learn that Qlik Sense Desktop was not a native Mac app. Sure, you can run Qlik Sense Desktop inside an installation of Windows in Parallels or VMware (the guest), but it would be nicer, if you could just browse to Qlik Sense Desktop directly from your Mac (the host).

By checking this box, I acknowledge that I have read and accept the Qlik Sense Desktop License Agreement.
Local Web Server
When you install and run Qlik Sense Desktop, a local web server is running in the background. That is why you can go to your favorite browser and type localhost:4848/hub (or 127.0.0.1:4848/hub) and expect to see a result. The web server is located on the loopback address, which means it is not exposed outside of the machine in which the server is running (in this case the virtual machine or the guest).
Exposing the Local Web Server to Mac
One way of exposing the local Qlik Sense Desktop web server to Mac is setting up a SSH server on the guest (and in this case I am using Parallels). I assume, you already have Windows installed, next step is to install the SSH server.
A QVD (QlikView Data) file is a file containing a table of data exported from Qlik Sense. QVD is a native Qlik format and can only be written to and read by Qlik Sense or QlikView. The file format is optimized for speed when reading data from a script but it is still very compact. Reading data from a QVD file is typically 10-100 times faster than reading from other data sources.
QVD files can be read in two modes: standard (fast) and optimized (faster). The selected mode is determined automatically by the script engine.
There are some limitations regarding optimized loads. It is possible to rename fields, but any of the operations mentioned here will disable the optimized load and result in a standard load.
Purpose of QVD files
QVD files can be used for many purposes and more than one may apply in any given situation. At least four major uses can be easily identified:
