publish task has intermittent failures

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

I have a scheduled task in QlikView Management Console to reload data and publish. The publish task has intermittent failures,
"QDSMain.Exceptions.DistributeToResourcesFailedException: Distribute to resource failed. ---> QDSMain.Exceptions.DscOffLineException: Failed to AddNamedUsers ||"

sometimes it completes successfully, other times it gets this distribution error. It was running fine for several months and now it's randomly failing. I just manually rerun the task in the QlikView Management Console and it then runs fine. How do I trace down this distribution failure?

Do you have document logging turned on. If you do check in that log to see if there is an error message. What I have typically found is that the Task log error messages aren't very descriptive and you need to look at the document log to get the real answer.

Do you have some 'intrusive' antivirus on your server ?

I sometimes needed to temporarily unactive it, especially when reading big QVD tables because it was locking the files and so the task execution.....

How do I start document logging?

Hello

You must activate the checkbox red-circled in attached printscreen , for each document you want to trace.

If you need different log files after each run, you must also activate the check-box below blue-circled.

Open the app in QlikView Desktop. While open select Settings -> Document Properties and chech the box for Generate Logfile. Save and then rerun your task. The log file is created in the same folder that the app is in.

It looks like that logging is for reloading the app, but shows nothing for when the app is published.

Ken, you are in the QMC. To check document logging you need to open the application in QlikView Desktop and follow the steps I laid out or follow the screenshot that Denis had in his reply.

Yes, I that's what I did, but the log only shows the application being refreshed, It has no information on the app being published.

Can you include the Document log for the app?

Re: publish task has intermittent failures

ken_geren — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:34:38 GMT

that was the document log.

Re: publish task has intermittent failures

jeremy_kofoot — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:11:39 GMT

So you say this is an intermintent failure, so the next time the reload fails, check the document log and see what it tells you. The document log won't have in there the published details, that would be in the task log. What the document log will give you though is some more information on when the task fails.

Yeah but those are all today's date. Did it fail today and was that the log you posted, or was that just the log from when the task ran.
