DataRoket developed a QlikView Custom Connector, which is an interface to enable data
retrieval from DataRoket data staging area. QlikView communicates with the DataRoket

The connector is listed under data connections. It uses a wizard for entering credentials to
connect to DataRoket. Once the right credentials are entered, the connector automatically
generates the connect string. After the custom connection string is created, the select
wizard will show all of the available data tables that are stored in the DataRoket staging
area. At this point, the sources of the data tables listed on the wizard are irrelevant as the
data extraction now happens from the DataRoket data staging area.

The connector wizard lists the selectable columns for each data tables. Once the tables
and the columns are selected on the wizard, the wizard automatically creates the load script
syntax and the data can be loaded into QlikView in-memory data model.
