LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 22 Jul 2025 17:59:49 GMT

Hello

I'm using the version 1.7.1 of the QDF

I'm trying to link / mount containers

in my script I put the following code:

QDF initiation script

set vG.BasePath=; //Clrear cache

set vG.SharedBasePath=; //Clrear cache

SET vG.RootContainer='lib://QDF_ROOT/';

SET vG.HomeContainer='lib://QDF_ROOT/3.Customer_Case_Analysis/';

$(Include=lib://QDF_ROOT/InitLink.qvs);

/*****************************************************************/

we need to read QVD files from the QVD Generator resource

and mainly from the Transform folder of the QVDs

call LCGV('QVDGEN','QVD');

/*****************************************************************/?

However I get the following warning: (check attached image)

kindly advise as I'm stuck and don't know a work around this issue

HI Ali,

Can you share a picture on how the QDF is setup (container structure)?

I've encountered some problems with the Administration folder, but not other containers.

Could be that your folder is named something else, or similar (lower and upper case)?

Have you added or reinitialized your containers?

Are the folders present on your physical disk (I'm guessing because it should work out fine).

Could be that the index from where it searches the name doesn't have the updated situation to find the Prefix container name.

Re: LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 12:27:56 GMT

the containers' folders are present:

I'm looking up the init.qvs file and it uses the variables you're clearing before hand.

set vG.BasePath=; //Clrear cache

set vG.SharedBasePath=; //Clrear cache

Can you comment everything besides the QDF initialization and the LCGV function and check the result.

This is a code snippet for sense:

if not '$(vG.HomeContainer)' = '' and not IsNull(filesize('lib://$(vG.HomeContainer)/Initlink.qvs')) = -1 then

LET vG.BasePath= 'lib://$(vG.HomeContainer)/';

trace '### DF Info, identified Sense home container $(vG.BasePath) (Separate LIB mounts)';

Bolded vG.BasePath is initialized when you first run QDF init.qvs and you clear the variables that are used before calling LCGV (i've used on View, so i dont know on Sense very well)

Re: LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 12:55:12 GMT

so QDF is not yet working for Qlik Sense?

here I'm stuck and I cannot proceed with development

Re: LCGV function not working

felipedl — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:03:39 GMT

Can you do the LCGV on other folders with your full code?

Or the QVDGEN is the only problem?

Re: LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:08:15 GMT

the problem exists for all containers not only QVDGEN
I tried to connect to Shared, Admin, and Example but same warning
here's what I get when I try to link to Example container

Re: LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:10:09 GMT

this is what I get when I try to link to Admin container

Re: LCGV function not working

As I understood, you're setting the HomeContainer variable to the 3.Customer_Case folder.

Try setting that to the 2.QVD_Generator and run the command.

Re: LCGV function not working

You have posted this:

QDF initiation script

set vG.BasePath=; //Clrear cache

set vG.SharedBasePath=; //Clrear cache

SET vG.RootContainer='lib://QDF_ROOT/';

// Try changing this

//SET vG.HomeContainer='lib://QDF_ROOT/3.Customer_Case_Analysis/';

// To the following, where you created the bellow data connection

SET vG.HomeContainer'lib://QDF_ROOT/2.QVD_Generator/';

$(Include=lib://QDF_ROOT/InitLink.qvs);

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:18:12 GMT

still not working

Re: LCGV function not working

felipedl — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:26:32 GMT

Open up this file from the correspondent folder on your folder:

Check if all the containers are mapped on the file, as you configured on the QDF Setup.

Re: LCGV function not working

ali_hijazi — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:30:58 GMT

why there exists 2 commas after the container names

Re: LCGV function not working

felipedl — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 13:54:26 GMT

Its a representation of what you set up on the QDF setup (comments and alt path)

Since you didn't set if for certain containers, the file has this configuration with two commas, not having a value for those fields.
