QlikView 12.1 sr4 QMSEDX error

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello,

We have upgraded to a new environment with QV 12.1 SR4 trying to use the QMSEDX to create a trigger from SSIS package. Tried running the previous batch script used but it fails to trigger with the following error in the screen shot shown.

I have downloaded the qmsedx file version 1.0.3 from David's blog.

I hope someone can help with the issue here.

command line used is:

\\servername\qms_edx\QMSEDX.exe -task="Task_name" -qms="http://servername:4799/QMS/Service" -password="qlik123" -verbosity=5

Thanks.

Hey there Dinesh,

I haven't tried this version, but did you try removing the http:// and :4799/QMS/Service from your url?

From the error it seems that automatically it adds those pieces to the url (I'm not so sure about the http://... when it is repeated it misses a ':' )

So you would come up with something like this:

\\servername\qms_edx\QMSEDX.exe -task="Task_name" -qms="servername" -password="qlik123" -verbosity=5

Hello Riccardo,

\\servername\qms_edx\QMSEDX.exe -task="Task_name" -qms="servername" -password="qlik123" -verbosity=5

Experiencing new issue with QMSEDX.exe. We've been running QlikView 12.10.20600.0 for well over a year now and have been executing .bat files to run QlikView Tasks. We execute the bat files using IBM TWS (Tivoli). We just recently started having failure message running manually or via batch process.

Bat file being executed that fails.

"\\Server001\D$\QVServer\QMSEDX\QMSEDX.exe -task="Reload and Distribute of Report1.qvw" -qms="http://Server1:4799/QMS/Service" -timeout=10800"

We even tried the suggestion list in this chat

"\\Server001\D$\QVServer\QMSEDX\QMSEDX.exe -task="Reload and Distribute of Report1.qvw" -qms="Server1" --verbosity=5"

We did not include the password, as that is in the Trigger of the even.

Code in the community chat:

"\\servername\qms_edx\QMSEDX.exe -task="Task_name" -qms="servername" -password="qlik123" -verbosity=5"

We are able to execute another bat file which just copies qvds from our PRODUCTION to DEVELOPMENT.

Nothing has changed on the QDS/QMS server.

I've created a ticket with Qlik, but so far no solution. Any suggestions on why after 1.5 years of running the same version of the it stopped working? Thank you for assistance.
