QlikView Publisher task is running all the way through successfully, but the task shows Failed.

phreesia_qv2 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I have a QlkView Publisher (v11 SR2) task that shows that it failed, however when I look at the document log, it appears to have completed successfully. There are no errors, the qvw has been successfully updated and saved, but the task is showing up as failed in publisher. I've tried deleting and recreating the task, but this hasn't helped. Not sure what else to try. Has anyone else seen this behavior?

Thanks

Disk full where publisher logfiles are written could perhaps cause this. what is our last command in the script of the failing doc?

Hi Robert,

Thanks for responding to my post. No issue with disk space, and the last command in the script is Exit Script. I've tried loading up a dummy inline table and then dropping it prior to hitting the Exit Script. I'm going to try it without the Exit Script as well. I'd happily entertain any ideas you may have as well. This is the only script that's behaving this way out of, I don't know, dozens.

Thanks Again,

Bret

This is a weird error. Just some quick checks :

Do you have any STORE command in the script?

Is the task a Reload Only or also distribution and/or reduction ?

It is a weird error, but I've seen it before. There are store commands in the script, and it is a reload only, no distribution.

I have seen this happening when a STORE command tries to write to a folder that is currently inaccessible, or with insufficient read/Write security properties for the qlik service accounts. Publisher will then be exiting with a fail... but you wrote that the logfile was completed so it looks more like an issue with publisher here, rather than the script...

I would anyway start to place TRACE commands in the script before and after STORE just to be sure there is no pb with security.

Another check to do is to rename another QVW that is working from publisher ; to the same name as this failing qvw, just to know if this problem actually is caused by the task itself, or not.

You wrote you had recreated the task, with a new task name or not?

If you can confirm it is script related, then I guess fasted solution is trial/error process... to remove code by code until it is working....

In any case, some trace of an abnormal termination should be present in the TaskLog. You know where you can find the TaskLog? Please post it in this thread.

Maybe this is helpful: False positive error-message from qmc.

Hi All,

I figured it out. I found this post: failed task status and Alexander Korsikov had the correct answer. I had to add a setting in the config file. Once I made the change, the task ran and completed successfully.

Thanks to everyone for your help,

Bret
