XML DB Viewer unable to save table

olks — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi All,

Recently I dupe another backup environment for my server as a DR practice.

When I tried to use the said application to modify QVPR doc to the correct hostname, the following error occur.

Appreciate if anyone could help.

Thanks!

Hi @olks ,
if you have problems with the PowerTools, please reach out to the person in charge of them in this thread.
In the meantime, you will probably need to edit the XML files manually, using an XML editor.

Hi @Daniele_Purrone ,

Thanks for replying. The thread has been posted 4 years ago, and the last online status of the person in charge in this community was almost a year ago.

I believe the problem in this error is not about PowerTools but with my User Account Control, however I cannot find a clear solution for that.

Hi @olks , I understand your concern, but Stefan is still a Qlik Employee and reachable via the community.

For your case, maybe I'd use Microsoft's ProcMon to see if you can find out more about why access to the file is locked. Maybe some other programs locking it. You can also try copying the files somewhere else, editing them there and then moving them back to the original location. Does that work?
