Reloading of starting a QVD task

shimazaki — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

In an environment (server) using QlikView, a QVD reload task was started even though it was not on the QMC schedule and was not manually started by the desktop.

What could be the possible cause?

Or is there a Qlik or Windows function that can determine what caused the task to be started?

check if you installed QMC in test env. but you forgot to disable!

Hi @shimazaki,

What supporting documentation do you have that a QVD reload task was run? Do you have a task log?
In addition to @Cascader 's suggestion, you can check to see if you have an automated QV Desktop reload via a .bat file or Windows task.

Best Regards

@Cascader

Thank you very much.
We are operating in a production environment only.

Thank you very much.

The task that triggered this inquiry was visually confirmed by the user in the Windows Task Manager.
According to the user, the QVD task was running even though there was no QMC schedule at the time and no reload was performed in the desktop application.
The same phenomenon has not occurred since then.

Since the QVD was loading very heavy data, we are concerned that reloading at unintended times could lead to problems.

We would like to determine why the reload was initiated this time, but it seems difficult to pinpoint the cause.

There is a possibility of user misunderstanding or mishandling of the data, so we will take a closer look.

You can check in the root log in the QDS if the task was triggered manually or by schedule.

If it is manually triggered you will see Trigger="ManualStartTrigger"

It could also bee that the reload was planned for an earlier time but the QDS was to busy and it got queued.

You can see this in the root log also.

@Maria_Halley

Thank you very much.

I will check it out.
By the way, is the manual operation recorded here on the QMC?
If I reload a QVD (QVW) registered in the QMC with a desktop application, will it still be logged?

@shimazaki

No, reloads in QlikView desktop will not register.
