Integration of the BI tool - QlikView
In this section, we will talk about the integration of the BI tool—QlikView with Neo4j.
QlikView is available only on the Windows platform, so this section is only applicable for
Windows users.
Neo4j as an open source database exposes its core APIs for developers to write plugins and
extends its intrinsic capabilities.
Neo4j JDBC is one such plugin that enables the integration of Neo4j with various BI / visu-
alization and ETL tools such as QlikView, Jaspersoft, Talend, Hive, Hbase, and many
more.
Let's perform the following steps for integrating Neo4j with QlikView on Windows:
1. Download, install, and configure the following required software:
1. Download the Neo4j JDBC driver directly from
https://github.com/neo4j-
contrib/neo4j-jdbc
as the source code. You need to compile and create a
JAR file or you can also directly download the compiled sources from
ht-
2. Depending upon your Windows platform (32 bit or 64 bit), download the
QlikView Desktop Personal Edition. In this chapter, we will be using
QlikView Desktop Personal Edition 11.20.12577.0 SR8.
3. Install QlikView and follow the instructions as they appear on your screen.
After installation, you will see the QlikView icon in your Windows start
menu.
2. QlikView leverages QlikView JDBC Connector for integration with JDBC data
sources, so our next step would be to install QlikView JDBC Connector. Let's per-
form the following steps to install and configure the QlikView JDBC Connector:
1. Download QlikView JDBC Connector either from
http://www.tiq-solu-
2. Open the downloaded
JDBCConnector_Setup.zip
file and install
the provided connector.
