Qlikview warning engine isn't responding to close command it will be killed: QV MAY2024 SR1

Hi friends, I have a problem. After updating to the last QlikView version in May 2024, I received many Warning Messages saying, " The engine isn't responding to the close command; it will be killed." How can I resolve this problem? Does anyone have any idea?

Hello @abrahamparada

Unless you are impacted in performance, data issues or some other problem that you believe is directly caused by this error, you may simply ignore it.

Otherwise you can start a support case.

Here are other conversations about this issue as well.

There are times that the QVB can't gracefully close the document so the distribution service kills the engine. This is nothing to be worried about. If it is an issue for you, you could open a case on it.

Kind regards..

Maybe adjusting the settings will be helpful:
