Problem Removing Publisher in v10

[#1]

Hi All,

I'm having some problem with the QVS after removing Publisher license from the server. I remove the Publisher by deleting the LEF file from the Publisher folder. But after I remove it, I can't view the documents the Document section in QMC/QEMC. In the QMC, there is an error saying that QMS is Off Duty.

Is there a proper way to remove publisher license/functionality?

Note: This is for QlikView version 10.

Hi Gents,

I just had a similar challenge this evening and thought I would share. I'm using QV11 SR1 so this may not work for prior versions.

1) Stopped all QV services

2) Searched for PubLef.txt and RegInfo.txt on the install drive C:\ (These should both be within the Management Services folders) basically searched for files containing the licence number and inspected the contents.

3) Deleted both files

4) Started services again.

This worked for me but of course make sure you have a way to reverse the steps just in case it does not work for you or it causes unexpected results.

Cheers.

A few questions come to mind.

Which version of QlikView server are you using?

Did you keep the PubLef file and reginfo file to allow you to revert back if need be?

Were you using publisher to do the reloads before and had publisher specific tasks?

Have you restarted all your services?

Are you clicking on a specific qlikview document in the User Documents section to see other document level tabs such as Authorization, Document Information, Document CAL?

Are you able to share a screenshot?

Thank YOu!!!

Hi,

For QlikView 11 on Windows 2008 to restaure the Reload Tab after removing the publisher licence

you must change the IsPublisher="true" to IsPublisher="false"in the following file:

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\QVPR\DistributionService.xml

Ex.:

    . . .

  </xs:schema>

  <DistributionService . . . IsPublisher="false"  . . . />

</NewDataSet>

1. Stop QlikView Services

2. Backup the file DistributionService.xml

3. Change IsPublisher="true" to IsPublisher="false" on the line <DistributionService

4. Start Services.

Regards,
