Nprinting doesn't refresh the data

pauljohansson — Wed, 25 Sep 2019 18:40:54 GMT

Hej,

I'm using Nprinting 17.1.2 and. I'm experiencing a serious problem:

My Nprinting connection doesn't give me the latest data.

In other words, my Nprinting connection keep giving me the data of the .qvw from the point in time when the connection was setup in the first place.

Any pointers / ideas?

thanks in advance,

Paul

Paul -

Are you using a QVP connection? If so, there is a workaround (attached).

This will not work for local QVW connections.

A full fix is expected in a release later this year.

Hi Stephen,

thanks for you reply.

Unfortunately we dont use a QVP connection.

Do you have any estimate on when this fix will come out?

Hi Paul,

I have worked around this by scheduling a stop/start of the NPrinting services after a reload. I also take a backup of the repository while I'm at it: Qlik NPrinting 17.x Repository Backup Batch File

Hi Stephen,

the workaround is working with NPrinting 17.2.1.

Local QVW connections are not working.

The QVP connection must be buildt of an user who has a Qlikview CAL on the Qlikviewserver (e.g. the NPrinting user).

So you have to login as the NPrinting user and then creating the connection. After that you can login as different user and you can create your reports etc.

If not: the cache generating will not ending !!!! There is no hint to this anywhere......

Sakar,

If you're using server connections then use Stephen's solution (above).

If you're using local connections then use Daniel's solution (above).

Hi,

I'm having the same issue, I think NPrinting just don't refresh the data. This is a serious problem because the Task will be sending the same report everyday. I'm finishing a project on NPrinting and this limitation is really annoying for us and the client.

Rude error from QlikTech part!!

This is a basic and fundamental functionality.

Hi Daniel,

Is the best workaround!

Thanks!

Yeah, this situation it's kinda annoying because my client is upset about NPrinting; they can't figure how this option isn't available.

@Stephen Jasionowski

With version 17.2.3 and QlikView, the update of the metadata and the updated data of the application still does not work.

It was said the problem should be resolved last year. When can a fix be expected?

Agree,

It would be very valuable to get an updated estimation on when this important fix is planned for release,

The fix is in NPrinting 17.3 planned for release in February.

Today i installed and tested 17.3.

For QVP Connections i can create Reports with actual Data without Metadata Reload. -> Perfect

If i change some Objects and do not Reload the Application i get actual Data but not actual Objects. -> Not good

If i change some Objects and Reload the Application i get actual Data AND Objects. -> Perfect

For Local Connections i always have to Reload the Metadata no matter if a have new Data and/or new Metadata -> Bad

Can someone confirm that?

Will there be a possibility for automatic Reload of Metadata with a schedular?

Please excuse my ignorance but I am having the same issue and suspect that the workaround will fix it.

How do you schedule a stop/start of the NPrinting Services?
