Do the following and you will find out where your reload fails.

Open QlikView desktop client
Open the QlikView application that should be logged
Go to Settings > Document Properties...
Go to General tab
Check the "Generate Logfile" checkbox
Press OK to save the settings and close the dialog
Each reload will now regenerate a log file named as the QVW file in the same folder as the QVW file

You can reload a file using the QlikView Desktop. And you can define a reload scheme on the server using the management console (for administrators).

But you cannot reload a file as a user from the Access Point. And it is intentional this way, since you would destroy for other users if you as one of many users reloaded the file.

No, this is not a function that exists in QlikView.

But if you program your own extension, and trigger a reload using EDX, you can do it.

This is an old thread and already emphasized that it is not ideal to give users such reloading right but, this is possible using macro without needing an extension. I've implemented similar functionality using the following scenario in case anyone needs:

You should create a reload task from management console, (whether you have publisher or not, does not really matter). Select "on an external event" option on the reload tab of the document to be reloaded. Set a password to use in macro code.

In Module paste this by changing required parts

function RequestEDX()

dim strServer

dim strTaskName

dim strCommand

dim strReturnValue

strServer = "servername"

strTaskName = "documentname.qvw"

strCommand = "C:\EDX\qmsedx.exe" & _

" -qms=" & chr(34) & strServer & chr(34) & _

" -task=" & chr(34) & strTaskName & chr(34) & _

" -password=password defined in QMC" & _

" -timeout=600"

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

strReturnValue = WshShell.Run (strCommand, 1, true)

sEDXTask = strReturnValue

end function

Download the attached EDX files and extract them in C: folder (or anywhere else by pointing in the macro code)

You can set this as an action of the desired QlikView object. You can even hide this object and make it visible by a variable submission through input box.

Note: Remember if you don't have a publisher licence, you will not be able to schedule a reload on the same document. Reload setting is set for once for those not having publisher licence. In this case you may want to schedule a task on windows task scheduler using .bat files.

With publisher licence there is no restriction like this.
