Qlik Analytics: During STORE command the File Save occasionally fails

Sonja_Bauernfeind — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 12:11:00 GMT

An example scenario:

One has approximately 20 Qlik sense applications which load data from the same source QVD. The QVD file is required to be updated at least once an hour. Should Qlik fail to secure write access on the file, a routine could be used to wait 10 seconds and retry.

Resolution/Script

SUB StoreQVTable (Table, Path) SET ErrorMode=0; Set ScriptErrorCount = 0; Set RC = 0; DO WHILE TRUE() STORE [$(Table)] INTO [$(Path)] (qvd); IF $(ScriptErrorCount) = 0 THEN EXIT DO ELSE Set ScriptErrorCount = 0; LET RC=RC+1; END IF IF ($(RC) = 10) THEN // If not yet successful, exit script // CALL consoleLog('ERROR: Failed to save [$(Table)] INTO [$(Path)] after 10 tries.'); TRACE 'ERROR: Failed to save [$(Table)] INTO [$(Path)] after 10 tries.'; SET ErrorMode=2; Load * from ERROR.qvd; END IF // CALL consoleLog('ERROR: Failed to save [$(Table)] INTO [$(Path)]. Try $(rc) of 10.'); TRACE 'ERROR: Failed to save [$(Table)] INTO [$(Path)]. Try $(RC) of 10.'; SLEEP 10000; // wait for 10secs. LOOP SET ErrorMode=2; END SUB

Will this also work for Qlik Sense or does a modification need to be made?

@crichter14 This should work for Qlik Sense as well! 🙂

Is STORE general exceptions errors capture in ErrorCodes. In the previous QlikView versions, it always failed even though we disabled error failure mode ErrorMode=0;

Thanks for the alternate solutions @Sonja_Bauernfeind ... we have had issues when rewriting large QVDs after a delta scripting, and this solutions seems promising to allow a new try to store the QVD without losing the data or restart the task
