Creating Qlikview Distribution Groups without restarting services

vivekocbc — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

I need to create new Qlikview Distribution Group as per my understanding we need to edit xml file for doing it but post doing the changes we need to restart the services.

Is there any way we can create new QDS Group without restarting the services.

Thanks,

Vivek

Hi @vivekocbc,

The QlikView Management service needs to be restarted after editing the

From What is a QDS Publisher Group? see the following:

To activate this feature, make a copy of DistributionGroupDefinition.Template in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\ManagementService\DistributionGroups and name it DistributionGroupDefinition.xml. Restart the QMS service manually on the QDS cluster node.

Best Regards

Hi Chip,

Thanks for your response previously. I also want to check is there a way we can restart the services without hindering current running qlikview jobs ( expectation is not to fail any current running jobs while restarting and resume successfully post restart).

If the above is not possible is there a way I can find the ideal time which means no jobs running time for restarting the services.

Thanks in advance ...!

Regards,

Vivek
