Reload from Visual Studio

xyz_1011 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hey all,

we have our script base (mostly QVD generators) set up in QVS files and we are using VS to edit them. Each time we want to test one of these QVS files we have to leave VS and do the reload in QV. I am wondering if its possible to reload a QVS from within VS ? Ideally see the script execution progress in VS as well...

If what i am looking for is possible, i‘d be happy about some hints and advise on how to do this.

Thanks a lot!

This VSCode extension

lets you reload Qlik Sense from VSCode. I know you posted in the QlikView forum, but sometimes posts get in the wrong place. If you are truly QlikView you would need to fire off a batch reload and then monitor the logfile for progress.

Hey Rob,

thanks for your feedback. I actually do use QlikView 🙂 Can you walk me through the batch approach ? How would it look like ?

Regards!

QlikView server or Desktop?

We're dev'ing locally. Thats where we'd like to reload from within VS. In the context of TEST and PROD, we're running a QV server, where Publisher takes care of reload and distribution.

Use the /r switch from the command line. Something like

qv.exe /r my.qvw

You can run that from a VS Terminal or get fancy and do something with a build script in VS.
