File not exists warnings

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

In the file LoadAll.qvs the include is outside of the if clause, this generates a file does not exists warning every time the load script is run, is there any reason why it's not in the if -> else code block? By moving the "$(Include=$(vG.QVCDisable));" to the else block of the if clause we removed the warning.

Hi Piotr,

Can you show what error your getting on your screen and where?

The include should not give a error message, Must_include does if it does not finds the file its referencing.

So, if the inlcude doesn't find it, it just wont load up what the file has in it.

Felipe.

I don't get any errors in ux, I see the warning in the server logs as well as Windows Event Viewer. The reason for my investigation of the warning is a different error (also only in logs and windows events) that occurs at the same time as I'm running the data load script. We get a: "CFXFileSize::EvalDual: Unexpected exception" which I believe is somehow related to Qlik trying evaluate the size of a file which probably does not exists, but this is only a guess.

Hi Piotr, that if the QlikView Component file (qvc.qvs), it's used automatically when added into the sub folder, that's why it's an extra line. as its a function inherited we can't have any if statements validating. You can turn it of by adding vG.QVCDisable ='true' in the top of your script. Or by adding the qvc.qvs add on (done in Deploy tool).

Hope that this helped?

Regards

Magnus

The original LoadAll.qvs looks like this:

if trim(lower('$(vG.QVCDisable)'))='true' then

// This is used to disable/enable QlikView Components library (Qvc)

// vG.QVCDisable = true removes Qvc.qvs filename

set vG.QVCDisable='$(vG.$(vL.QDF.LinkShared_Folders)SubPath)';

else

// Not disabled will state the Qvc.qvs filename

set vG.QVCDisable='$(vG.$(vL.QDF.LinkShared_Folders)SubPath)Qvc.qvs';

endif

$(Include=$(vG.QVCDisable));

if we set the QVCDisable to true, the include will try to add a directory giving this warning/error:

OpenFileOrURL: An exception (badPath \\\\host.domain.com\\ShareDir\\Test\\2.Production\\3.Include\\4.Sub\\) occurred during open of \\\\host.domain.com\ShareDir\\Test\\2.Production\\3.Include\\4.Sub\\)

If we change the if to the following:

if trim(lower('$(vG.QVCDisable)'))='true' then

// This is used to disable/enable QlikView Components library (Qvc)

// vG.QVCDisable = true removes Qvc.qvs filename

set vG.QVCDisable='$(vG.$(vL.QDF.LinkShared_Folders)SubPath)';

else

// Not disabled will state the Qvc.qvs filename

set vG.QVCDisable='$(vG.$(vL.QDF.LinkShared_Folders)SubPath)Qvc.qvs';

$(Include=$(vG.QVCDisable));

endif

No warning/error is generated.

This was found while we were looking at why Qlik engine generates a (large) number of errors that look like this:

"CFXFileSize::EvalDual: Unexpected exception"

The theory is that some process in the engine tries to evaluate the size of a file that is not found....or?

You can't have a sub function include inside an if statement as it will be ignored. Thai's why its placed where it is, I can do a change in the installer removing the qvc lines completely when qvc not installed, the reason why it's like this is because Engine should ignore scripts not found when using Include. There is a special syntax called must_include to force read on the include.

Hi Magnus, I´m also facing the error "CFXFileSize::EvalDual: Unexpected exception" in windows application log after November 2017 release.

Can this be fixed in a future release?

Sure we can add "vG.QVCDisable = 'true';" to every script but is that the right way?

In latest QDF version (sema version no) the QVC section is commented out until you apply setting in Deploy Tool.

Qlik Deployment Framework Deploy Tool

To implement update to latest version using the deploy tool.

HI, thanks for replying.

I´v also tried to commented out the QVC-lines but still having the error-code.

I think there is another problem in the QDF-script that gives the error "CFXFileSize::EvalDual: Unexpected exception" with QlikSense November 2017. I have a case at Qlik on this.

Hi David, Ive done some extensive testing and it seems that filesize and filetime gives error in the event log independent on how I craft the script so it's clearly a bug in November release. There is a support case on this so lets hope it gets fixed during next update.

Best regards

Magnus
