Restarting services using powershell script in Qlikview server

harika181 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

I want to write a script to manually restart services when a service is failed in qlikview server.

For initial development I have first written the command in Powershell

Get-Service -Name "Qlik*" - To get all services related to Qlikview

Next I have manually stopped a service Qlikview Management Service and tried to restart it using command

Restart-Service -Name QlikviewManagementService ,but its throwing me an error

Can someone help me on this?

Hi harika181, please look at the following script example in the kb article https://community.qlik.com/t5/Knowledge/How-to-restart-Central-and-Rim-node-of-Sense-with-Powershell/ta-p/1713558

This example is for QlikSense but should help you with the creation of the powershell script for QlikView

i had a look at my script and it need some minor adjustments basically making sure the QlikSenseServiceDispatcher Service is the first on RimNode and 2nd on Central node to start.

The pause line was just to give you the time to manually push the updates.

You can simply comment it out with a HashTag (#) in front. If you wanted to fully automate the process you want to break down the script in two parts, a stop script and a start script.

I updated the attachment with the three versions mentioned, manual, start, stop.

I tested here and it works for me. Can you copy and paste the error message, it is a bit hard to read

Or try this

Get-Service -Name Qlikview* | % {Restart-Service -Name $_.Name -Verbose -Force}

@harika181

Is the user you are user admin on the server? Can you start and stop manually with the same user?

Can you try starting and stopping another service?
