Hello,
We recently upgraded our Publisher to version 11 SR1 (from 10 SR4).
Following the publisher we started to experience a strange problem -
The publisher starts a task, the model is being refreshed successfully then saved successfully, the QVB proccess is being released, but the task never stops running.
By "never stops" I mean that it's indicated as running in the QMC.
Aborting the task in the QMC doesn't help.
The only thing that helps is resetting both both Qlikview Distribution Service and Qlikview Management Service.
I tried to troubleshoot it, and found out that there's a new folder under QlikTech\DistributionService\ named "EDXResult".
It seems that every task that runs logs itself in an XML file there. When the task is created it's has a "running" state in the XML, and the state is changed to "Completed" or "Failed" when it ends.
However the XML file remain in the folder indefinitely, so after two weeks of running the server we already had 42000 files there, which made accessing the folder very slow.
After manually deleting the files in the folder it seems that there is an improvement (It's only been one hour since I've done it, so I can't be sure, but it seems better now).
So this leads me to suspect that the problem described above derives from the "EDXResults" folder getting overloaded and therefore the QMS can't update the XML file of the files to "Completed" after the run is finished.
So my question is - Can this really be the cause of the problem?
And if so, is there any solution (besides creating a daily task that will delete the files)?
Thanks for reading my wall of text

Cleto,
No, QVB not QVD..
Yeah yeah,
Sorry
Hi,
i have the same problem. Do you have any news ?
You mentioned a patch, is there something we can get from the support ?
Regards,
Johann
You should contact support to see if there is a patch.
Bill
Thank you for your answer.
You were right, I got a patch from the support, but I don’t understand why there is a patch on desktop too.
Do you have any informations ?
Regards,
Johann
Well, the server and Desktop has a lot of the same functionalityin it. That could be it or there is more than one fix in the patch and the above holds true for one of the other issues.
and what about with an installation of Qlikview Webserver on another machine ?
I think webserver is not concerned ? Do you confirm ?
Regards,
Jo
Same issue with the reloads we have installed QV11 SR1 with a patch 11.0.11310
We have also experienced this issue a few times over the past couple of months. The task finishes fine but it appears as still running i.e. no error message is given on the console - which to the 'casual' observer appears that all is fine.
I also noticed that some of our scheduled tasks appeared as 'not scheduled' under the reload engine when this issue was happening.
To work around this problem i restart the Qlikview Distribution Service and Management Services. This also puts the scheduled tasks back to how they were previous to this error.
