Governance Dashboard: Error in hidden script

Hi

I installed the governance dashboard on my qv server where the qlikview documents reside and tried to run the reload but keep getting this error message.

“Error in hidden script. For details, open hidden script before reload.

For security reasons, failed hidden script code is not shown.”

I looked into this thread but the thread is from 2012 and didn’t seem to shed any light on the issue. http://community.qlik.com/thread/63476

The details:

I also have an email out to qvgdfeedback@qliktech.com to see if they can shed some light on it. I'll update this post if I find anything.

Hello Philip,

Can you send the following information to QlikTech Support so we can troubleshoot it?

  1. Governance Dashboard.qvw.log
  2. fullscan.messages.log*
  3. fullscan.statistics.log*
  4. Description of how your environment is configured:
    1. Version of QlikView
    2. Where is GovernanceDashboard.exe installed?
    3. Where is the reload occurring?
    4. User account that is reloading it - does it have read/write access to the profiles and file folders?

You might try reloading without "Has Server" to see if you get the same issue.

Tyler

* in profiles\default\QVX_LastRun folder

Hmm... I might have been guilty of an ignorant oversight.

I just did a clean reinstall of the Governance Dashboard and noticed a warning that there was a Qv.exe still running and it suggested to shut it down. (Another user had it running on their server session.) I don't remember seeing this before but I might have just continued past the warning.

After closing all Qv.exe processes and doing a clean reinstall it worked fine.

If I have any other issues I'll post them here along with the logs you suggested.

Hello,

My Governance Dashboard gives an "Error: Error in hidden script. For details, open hidden script before reload."

It only gives this error when scanning a particular folder. The directory test works though.

I found something strange in the "Fullscan messages log".

What does the "Extract Directory Scan Error mean"?

I attached the log of the dashboard and the "Fullscan messages log".

Are you pointing to a file folder (on the Configuration page of the app, "List of File Paths to Scan") which has no QVWs?

Or, does this folder only contain one QVW and the QVW can't be read (really old or corrupt)?

I was having same issue with new install of 2.0.2 and found that by adding a qvw to the main file path as Tyler noted above, the hidden script error was resolved.
