QMSEDX for a task in a sub folder ??

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

Hello,

i'm using QMSEDX to launch Qlikview application generation in batch mode.

The problem is i have subfolders in the documents folder of the qlikview server and while the launches appears correctly in the QMC, when i want to launch it with QMSEDX with the same Reload name, it says that TaskNotFound.

What can i do ? is there a new version of qmsedx i could download that fixes this issue ?

Example :

I have in my documents folders :

myapp/application.qvw

I have configured this app to be launched with a password and it appear as "Reload of application.qvw" in the Status/Tasks view

but if i try to use

qmsedx -task="Reload of application.qvw" -password=pass

it says TaskNotFound

Thanks

Frederic,

Can you provide the full command which you are using starting from EXECUTE?

Cheers,

Naresh

You might be missing the path of the qmsedx.exe as well.

Avoid using spaces in the task name.

For your understanding...

EXECUTE cmd.exe /c "D:\Project_EDX\QVD\EDX\EXE\qmsedx.exe -task=Transform_Extract.qvw -qms=http://<ServerIP>:<Port>/QMS/Service -password="

About the task name, you should start from the root folder just like I have given folder path for qmsedx.exe above.

Please update if it still fails after doing all the above.

Cheers,

Naresh

Hello Naresh,

.\Qlikview_edx\qmsedx -task="Reload of application.qvw" -qms=http://myserver:4799/QMS/Service -password=mypassword -verbosity=5 -to=3600

it works flawlessly with all the "Reload of" of Applications which are on the root of the documents folder

Hi,

Have you tried qmsedx -task="foldername/Reload of application.qvw" -password=pass

Without a Publisher, you shouldn't use the Task name as displayed in the Task overview. Use just the document name. E.g. -task="Document.qvw" instead of -task="Reload of Document.qvw"

Try as in my above post(also Bill Britt's), include the path starting from the root folder before the name of your task. That should work well.

Best Regards,

Naresh

Hello Bill,

yes, it works when using foldername with /

i had tried with \ and it did not work.

Thanks, it was really simple but i was really annoyed with that thing

Thanks Naresh, yes, with the full path of the qvw (using / instead of \ it works)

Thanks
