Web access problems

Hi everybody,

Did someone heard something about macros which work under Desktop but don't work under Web access?

The macro change dynamicaly the size of the graph (actually it expands the graph full screen) but not while people gets the application  thru access point.

The calendar object which is in French (desktop) changes to English (Web access).

Another problem is some objects disappear and QV failed once a user upgraded from IE8 to IE10. Is there any clue for this?

Thank you for your help

Chris

Some macros doesn't work in Web Access.

Which version are you running?

IE10 is only supported from 11.2 SR3 (if I am not mistaken).

  • Marco can only run on IE
  • Make sure Marco is allow to run.
  • Make sure the Plugin install correctly
  • check the Preferred client in Full Browser Version

Hi gu.

If you look in the Reference manual you will see that macros will run in Ajax (full browser).

If that wasn't the case our apps wouldn't work and they do.

No.

Triggers and macro works in Plugin, but only a subset of Triggers and macros work in Ajax.

Hi,

From the reference manual.

On the Triggers tab, it is possible to set actions (including macro actions) to be invoked on document

events, variable events and field events. For more information on macros, see the Edit Module (page 885).

Not all actions can be invoked from the following event triggers. Read more about the different actions

under Add Action Dialog (page 541).

Note!

There are limitations as to the behavior of certain macro triggers when working with documents on Qlik-

View Server. Please study the section Using Macros in QV Documents on the QV-Server (page 893) before

designing server documents with macro triggers.

Document Event Triggers:

In this group actions are set to trigger on selected events in the document. An

event has to be selected in the list before it is possible to assign actions or macros

to it.

OnAnySelect

Select this event to assign an action to be executed each time a selection has

been made in any field of the QlikView document.

OnOpen

Select this event to assign an action to be executed each time the QlikView

document is opened. This event is not supported when running in the AJAX

client.

OnPostReduceData

Select this event to assign an action to be executed after each time the Reduce

Data command has been executed.

OnPostReload

Select this event to assign an action to be executed each time the script has

been re-executed.

Add Action(s)

This button opens the Actions (page 540) page. On this page it is possible to

add an action to the trigger. Choose the action macro to assign an existing

macro name or type any name for which a macro can be created later in the

Edit Module (page 885) dialog.

The action will be executed each time the selected document event occurs.

When an action has been assigned to the event, the button changes to Edit

Action and it is possible to change the action for the event.

Field Event Triggers:

In this group actions are set to trigger on changes in the logical state of a specified

field in the document. Select a field in the list and press one of the buttons

to assign an action to in it. The buttons open the Actions (page 540)

page. Here it is possible to assign an action, including an existing macro

name, or type any name for which a macro can be created later in the Edit

Module (page 885) dialog. For more information about adding actions, see

Actions (page 540).

When an action has been assigned to the field, the button changes to Edit

Action. The following Field Event Triggers exist:

OnSelect

The action will be executed each time a selection has been made in the specified

field.

OnLock

The action will be executed each time the field is locked.

OnChange

The action will be executed each time a selection has been made in any field

which is logically associated with the specified field.

OnUnlock

The action will be executed each time the field is unlocked

Variable Event Triggers:

In this group you can set actions to trigger on changes in the contents of a

specified variable in the document.

Select a variable in the list and press one of the buttons to assign an action to

it. The buttons open the Actions (page 540) page. On this page you can add

an action to the trigger. Choose the action macro to assign an existing macro

name or type any name for which you later can create a macro in the Edit

Module dialog. For more information about adding actions, see Actions (page

540).

When an action has been assigned to the variable, the button changes to Edit

Action and you can change the action for the event. The following Variable

Event Triggers exist:

OnInput

The action will be executed each time a new value is directly entered in the

selected variable.

OnChange

The action will be executed each time the value of the selected variable

changes as a result of changes in other variables or the logical state of the document.

This typically applies when the variable contains a formula.

Note!

For backward compatibility to earlier versions of QlikView, the action must consist of a macro action. An

action that consists of only one macro action is translated back to old string format on save.

Note!

Actions that trigger other actions, so called cascading actions, may cause unforeseen consequences and are

not supported!

Section 39.3 Actions:

On this page actions can be set for certain objects:

· buttons

· text objects

· gauges

· line/arrow objects

Actions include launching an external application or exporting data from QlikView.

Add Opens the Add Action Dialog (page 541) where the actions for the object are

chosen. Choose the type of action in the lists. Depending on the action, different

parameters for the action will appear on the Actions page. The actions

will be executed in the order in which they appear in the list.

Delete Removes the action from the object.

Promote Moves the selected action up in the list of actions.

Alternate State Sets the state that the action refers to. This setting is only relevant for actions

related to selections or bookmarks.

Selection

Select in Field Selects the values and fields that are specified. In the Search String you can

specify a search mask, e.g. (A|B) will select both A and B.

Select Excluded Selects the excluded values in the specified field.

Select Possible Selects the possible values in the specified field.

Toggle Select Toggles between the current selection and the specified Field and Search

String. In the Search String you can specify a search mask, e.g. (A|B) will

select both A and B.

Forward Goes one step forward in the list of selections.

Back Goes back one step in the list of selections.

Pareto Select Makes a pareto selection in the specified field based on an expression and percentage.

This type of selection is used to select the top contributors to a measure,

typically in line of a general 80/20 rule. For example, to find the top

customers that contribute to 80% of the turnover, Customer should be used as

field, sum(Turnover) should be used as expression and 80 should be used as

percentage.

Lock Field Locks the selections in the specified field.

Lock All Locks all values in all fields.

Unlock Field Unlocks the selections in the specified field.

Unlock All Unlocks all values in all fields.

Unlock and Clear All Unlocks all values and clears all selections in all fields.

Clear Other Fields Clears all related fields except the one specified.

Clear All Clears all selections except locked ones.

Clear Field Clears a specific field.

Copy State Contents Copies the selection from the Source State to the Target State. Only available

when alternate states have been defined.

Swap State Contents Swaps the selections between State 1 and State 2. Only available when alternate

states have been defined.

object should be sent to another printer than the default printer. (Not available

as document and sheet trigger.)

Print Sheet Prints the sheet specified by Sheet ID. (Not available as document and sheet

trigger.) This function does not work in AJAX client.

Print Report Prints the report specified by Report ID. Specify the Printer name if the

report should be sent to another printer than the default printer. Mark the

check box Show Print Dialog if you want the Windows print dialog to be

shown. (Not available as document and sheet trigger.)

External

are applicable according to the made selection are exported. Click on the

Setup button on the Actions page to open the Export Action Settings dialog.

(not available as document and sheet trigger)

Launch Launches an external program. The following settings can be configured in the

Actions dialog:

Application

Click on Browse... to find the application that should be launched. (Not available

as document and sheet trigger.)

This function does not work in AJAX client.

Open URL Opens the URL in the default web browser. (Not available as document and

sheet trigger.)

Open QlikView Document

Opens the specified document. The file extension must be included. (Not available

as document and sheet trigger.)

Mark the check box Transfer State to transfer the selections from the original

document to the one you wish to open. The opened document will first be

cleared of selections.

Mark Apply state on top of current to retain the second document’s selections

and apply the original document’s selections on top of them.

Open in same Window opens the new document in the same browser tab

when using the AJAX ZFC client.

Run Macro Enter the path and name of the macro to be run. Type any name for which it is

possible to later create a macro in the Edit Module dialog, or a calculated

expression for dynamic update.

Set Variable Assigns a value to the specified variable.

Show Information Shows the associated information, such as a text file or an image for the field

specified by Field. This function does not work in AJAX client.

Close This Document Closes the active QlikView document.

Reload Performs a reload on the current document. This function does not work in

AJAX client.

Dynamic Update Performs a dynamic update of the data in the currently loaded document. The statement for

the dynamic update is to be entered in the Statement field.

The intended usage of Dynamic Update allows a QlikView Administrator to feed limited

amounts of data in to a QlikView document from a single source without running a reload of

the document. Analysis can then be performed by multiple clients connecting to the Qlik-

View Server.

Note! The uploaded information is stored in RAM only so any data added or updated using

Dynamic Update will be lost if a reload of the document is performed.

The following grammar describes the possible statements and their components that can be

used with the Dynamic Update feature:

l statements ::= statement { “;” statement }

l statement ::= insert_statement | update_statement | delete_statement | begin_transaction_

statement | commit_transaction_statement

l insert_statement ::= "INSERT" "INTO" ("*" | table_name) field_list "VALUES"

value_list {"," value_list} ["KEY" ["AUTO" | (" (" field_list ")")] ["REPLACE"

(["WITH" "ONE"] | "EACH") ]]

l update_statement ::= "UPDATE" ("*" | table_name) set_clause {"," | set_clause}

"WHERE" condition ["AUTO" "INSERT"]

l delete_statement ::= "DELETE" "FROM" ("*" | table_name] "WHERE" condition

l begin_transaction_statement ::= "BEGIN" ("TRANSACTION" | "TRAN") [trans_

name]

l commit_transaction_statement ::= "COMMIT" ["TRANSACTION" | "TRAN"]

[trans_name]

l table_name ::= identifier | quoted_name

l field_list ::= "(" field_name {"," field_name} ")"

l value_list ::= "("value {"," value} ")"

l set_clause ::= "SET" field_name "=" any_valid_non_aggregated_qlikview_expression

l field_name ::= identifier | quoted string

l value ::= identifier | any_qlikview_number | quoted string

l condition ::= any_valid_non_aggregated_qlikview_expression

l identifier ::= any_qlikview_identifier

l quoted_string ::= "[" [^]]+ "]"

Example:

UPDATE AbcTable SET Discount = 123 WHERE AbcField=1

Note! To use this feature, Dynamic Update must be allowed both on the Document and on

the Server.

Note!

Actions that trigger other actions, so called cascading actions, may cause unforeseen consequences and are

not supported!

Note!

There are limitations as to the behavior of certain macro triggers when working with documents on Qlik-

View Server. Please study the section Using Macros in QV Documents on the QV-Server (page 893) before

designing server documents with macro triggers.
