QlikView Server Issue

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello everybody

I would apreciate some help from you.

I develop my QV application on my PC as follows:

1. I have one load application which generates the final QVD file.

2. I have another application where I finally show the dashboard and the information my company want to see.

I used to connect to the server to get a licence and start developing. From the beggining to the end evithing is OK, but recently we are having some problems.

When I copy my two apps and all my QVDs to the server and I execute opening the files those file run succesfully and generates the QVDs. When I execute from the web-app (where are scheduled in cascade) the load file executes OK but the final app fails.

I´ve got this message:

01-02-16 8:08:39 AM Error The sourcedocument failed to reload.. Exception=System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80004005): Error HRESULT E_FAIL has been returned from a call to a COM component. at QlikView.Doc.DoReload(Int32 _Mode, Boolean _Partial, Boolean _Debug) at QVBWrapper.Document.Reload(ILogBucket i_LogBucket, Boolean i_MonitorQVBCPUUsage, Boolean i_Partial, Boolean i_ReadDocumentLog)

Please, any advice to solve this problem.

NOTE: recently, the Active Directory administrator made some changes about the permission.

Have you checked that the QV service user account that runs the reload is added correctly to section access table?

Hello Swuehl,

Would you explain your recomendation? Please.

I assume the application that fails reload is having a section access applied. True?

If you reload on the server, the QV service user should be added as user to the section access table. I understand that your admin has changed something in AD. If so, I would recommend looking at this user and settings in the section access table.

Hello Swuehl,

We have verified all your recomendations and all the settings are as you said.

We noticed one more thing.

When the app fails, I open the file and do change something (move an object, comment some part of the code, or another minimal change). Then I run again from the QV and/or the Web-App everything is OK, but the next scheduled excecution fails.

Diego,

Are you saying that if you reload it manually outside of publisher that it works but publisher consistently fails for this dashboard?

If so Does the QV Service account have access to write to the destination directory where it is being published?

Hello Dan.

Yes, if it is executed manually, it´s succesufully, in the other way constantly fails.

The service account has Administrator access.

I have checked all settings and everything looks OK.

It fails only for this app, Others executes normally.

Diego,

Can you login to the server as the service account and open the dashboard and reload?

Maybe it's not a bad thing if you could tell us what exactly the AD Administrator changed about permissions...

Re: QlikView Server Issue

Dan,

Yes I can access as QV Administrator, if that´s what you meant.

When fails in both ways, I open the app script, comment part of the code, and executes normally. Then remove the commented script and executes normally again in both ways, runs successfully.

When the server executes in the scheduled time, it fails.

Running from QV and fails, I have no ERROR or something, just "The script has failed, would you like to return the preious data?"

Re: QlikView Server Issue

Peter_Cammaert — Thu, 18 Feb 2016 22:22:39 GMT

And what part of your script do you have to comment out? Seems like it contains clues about the real error you're getting.

Hello Peter,

Is not always to commet, It just making a minimal change to de code: It could be a SPACE, RETURN, COMMENT, etc, any minimal change which does not affect the script logic but the structure.

Example:

first run:

load field1, field2 from qvd; ---fails

second run:

load field1, field2

from qvd; ---success

In the second run I just hit on RETURN before from. By changing the code structure executes normally, finally, by executing from qv-web-app scheduled fails.

Peter,

The changes were:

We all QV developer, who had R/W permission over the QV server, so we used to copy the QV and QVD files to the server; we used to publish my DB by our selves. (dev in our PC then publish to the QV-SRV)

Now, we are no longer enabled to have R/W, so we have to ask to the AD administrator to publish our Dashboards.

It looks like a timing error to me. Maybe someone is occasionally locking the QVD.

Are you sure no other reload is (re)creating or otherwise using this QVD during the first run?

Best,

Peter

Another idea: maybe the administrator isn't publishing the new dashboard with the proper rights for the QDS service account to read a particular QVD. Once you open, change and save the dashboard, proper permissions are restored. Could it be something like that?

Have you checked for any file permission differences between a dashboard that fails and a dashboard that works?

Best,

Peter

No, it´s just one QV-app which is loading from the QVD file. No others are reading from it, and no other QV-app are running at the same time.

For this app, I have 2 QVs, one to generate all data and the other one is the DB, the final DB consumes a single QVD file generated by the first QV.

Hello Peter, Thank you for your patience and your help.

I have checked all, everything, every single property, but all of them are similar to other DBs.

You got me wrong, or I didn't explain myself all too well (probably the latter, it's getting late overhere)

What I meant was this: imagine that your problem is with a dashboard called DashboardABC.QVW. Whenever it fails to reload, check the file permissions (properties->security). Then perform your standard trick to open-modify-save the document and check the DashboardABC.QVW file properties again. Any differences between before and after?

Best,

Peter
