hi, Is that bat file is working whn u r running directly.

[sivarajs]

yes its working

Can you paste the continue of the Batch file here? Sometimes the reason it continues to run is because publisher can't tell that the task has finished. Like if you use this to open notepad.exe. Publisher can't tell when notepad has closed so it will contiue to run.

Hi,

I had the very same problem.

I solved it by running the batch file from the the script of a qlikview file, like this:

LET vExeLine = 'BatchFile' ;

execute cmd /c $(vExeLine);

Hope this helps

Hi Bill,

i have defined my batch file like..

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /l "D:\AM_Scheduled_Report\AM_Daily_Mailer.qvw"

You are running an EXE and publisher can't tell when this has finished. Search the QlikView Server reference manual for Batch mode. This should work better for you.

Hi Bill,

Try this

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe"/nosecurity /r "filepath\filename.qvw" file will be reloaded

Sampathpleasure1,

Your example is not the same as running a batch reload in publisher.
