QlikView QMC task fails with "General Script Error"

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

Hi ALl

We are reloading some document which is about 1.2GB size, and around 50M of rows using task in QMC.

After the whole script is executed it fails with "General Script Error" If we reduce the size of the qvds, it runs successfully.

No transformations are done in the script just loading and concatenating qvds into the presentation app.

It looks like it is failing during the save phase. We checked all the permissions and file locking and also restarted services. Script runs successfully even with the full set of data if we run it through desktop.

It seems that there is no useful info in logs.

My suspicion is that it might take too long to save the file, and task fails because of the timeout.

Is there any setting to increase the timeout? Any other suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

If your reload engine is killed because of taking too long to save the temporary QVW copy, then there should be a message in the TaskLog.

However, the saving of the QVW is not part of script execution. It comes after the script has been executed successfully, so a General Script Error would be a weird indicator for a failing document save. Probably something else is causing this situation. Can you post the end of your DocumentLog.txt (about 20 lines) and the full TaskLog.txt?
