Reload log shows 'Execution finished' but 'Reload Failed'

Hello,

We have a QlikView .qvw reload which runs once an hour (and has done for > 12 months). There have been no recent modifications to the .qvw. The reload itself typically runs for about 35+ minutes.

For the past three hours, it has been coughing up this fur-ball:

The task "1h Reload JDE (xx:00)" failed. Part
of the log file follows:

12.09.2012 16:01:45     Error The Source Document was NOT reloaded
successfully. DocumentPath=D:\Qlikview\Data\JDE\TWI_Extract.qvw.

12.09.2012 16:01:45     Error Reload failed.

12.09.2012 16:41:37     Error The task "1h Reload JDE (xx:00)"
failed. ErrorCount=4

Looking in the job's log file, it appears as if it reloaded normally to completion:

...

Looking at the log in QV Enterprise manager, I see this:

No user aborted the reload, plus the log file indicates that it actually completed. The .qvw itself loads no data - it simply opens tables from an Oracle database and writes them to .qvd's before closing.

There is ample room both on the system's System disk as well as the data disk on which the .qvw's/.qvd's reside.

I see no relevant error messages in the system event log.

Any help welcome.

...and after three hourly failures - this time it ran successfully through to completion without any changes to the environment. But... it is failing three or four times a day now with little to go on to troubleshoot.

Hi,

I have the same situation here. Do you have any solution right now?

would it be possible that there are not enough thread in the database server?

Author

I have no solution nor have I heard more than you see above (i.e., nothing). Our system has been running smoothly (again) in the meantime, but I'm guessing that the situation will return. Wouldn't mind hearing from someone at QlikTech who could theorize based upon their knowledge of the inner workings.

Sorry I have no solutionm, we are having similar problems and came across this.

I also noticed another post on the exact seem topic so linking to it here

Had the same problem again today - with a different, much smaller task.

Note: the other post (thanks for the link!) is actually slightly different. That's sporadic failures. The log file shows the job aborting.

In my case, the log files states that execution finished (normally), but then a mail is sent showing 'reload failed'.

Is it possible that the system feels the QVDs you are trying to write with this application like they are still in use by another process?

Like they are opened somewhere else and so qlikview can't write on the files?

Unfortunately, no. The first job extracts tables from an Oracle database. Only when it finishes successfully do other jobs run which use the .qvd files. The job runs to completion (Execution Finished in the log file) but then claims to fail. As a result, those other .qvw's which would use the .qvd's never start. They're scheduled to run only when the first is successful.

Problem still occurring. Do we think that QlikTech actually visits this end of the QlikView world... or is there some other place to post this that they'd see..?
