Status "Warning" in Management console

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

Hi,

my question is largely in the title:

=> In the mgmt_console, I see a yellow triangle-icon and the status "Warning" next to two of the apps.
When I look at the task_history, the last RELOAD succeeded and produced no errors that I noticed.
The log of the qvw also shows no errors or other odd things that I notice.

Can someone plz tell me what this warning is about and where I should look for details?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

In the log you find then mostly a warning. I see it often in loop an reduce/distribute tasks. If there are no data for one person then it would not fail, because the other get their documents.

Hi Jonas,

thanks! - But I already looked at the log and searched for the keyword "warning". Didn't find anything, though.

Well, that app is a "superordinate" Dashboard that takes results from several others "below" it. One of those failed. That might be the reason ... there are no LOOPs or such in the app - there is nothing much at all as it is supposed only to display the status results (good/ bad) of the other apps, no charts and stuff.

Hi,

the issue is appearing every day now - strangely, it is with another app every day 😉

Can anyone give me a hint where to look for the core_reason for this?

Thanks a lot!

could you send a screenshot of the task chain?

I mean if you have dependencies, tasks that will run based on other tasks and with conditions, you will need to look at the logs of each task in the task chain

Hi,

Are you sure you cant find any warning in the log file in QMC? As Jonas mentioned this is most likely caused when there is not data for a recipient or you are trying to distribute to someone that doesn't exist for example if you are looping through a field containing recipients and one or more recipients are nor present in your Directory (AD).

A warning is not necessarily something bad but is of course something you need to be aware of.

What level of logging do you have activated?

Hi Nils,

where can I see what level of logging we have? I guess it's intermediate.

I'm quite sure there is nothing in the logs - well, I searched for the keywords "error" and "warning" and that didn't return anything.

I have no loop_and_distribute tasks anywhere. The data is not supposed to be distributed, all the apps are on a server which the individual team_computers can access.

Moreover, I find it very strange that this status jumps from day to day - yesterday, it was with one app, today it's with another and I'm sure tomorrow will be a different one again ...

@ Fabrice

Well, our apps are automatically reloaded once or several times a day, part of them in a tree-like structure - the reloading of one is triggered by the finished reloading of another - but that all seems fine. All the apps reloaded successfully.

P.S.:

I have found the logging_setting under "System -> Setup" - it was set to "Normal", I have set it to "Debug logging" for now.

Hi,

If you have publisher you the log level is set on the general tab of the distribution engine (System --> Setup --> Distribution Services --> General) and for the server the log level is found under System --> Setup --> QlikView Servers --> Logging.

Probably a stupid question but what log files are you looking at?

Re: Status "Warning" in Management console

datanibbler — Wed, 08 Jan 2014 09:10:49 GMT

Hi Nils,

I am looking at both

- the log files in the "Task History" in the Mgmt_console and

- the log files generated by the individual apps.

We have no Publisher installed, just the SBE (QlikView_Server).

Could you share the tasklog.txt from the task with the warning? C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log

There is probably a warning somewhere.

Before sending the log if you want you can go to C:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service and edit the config file

QVDistributionService.exe.config;

locate;

this value is = to false by default however you can change it to true as per

and after this manipulation, send the tasklog.txt for the task with warning.

Hi Fabrice,

that is indeed very helpful. I will do that.

Today, the problem did not appear - yet. All the reload_tasks are green. As soon as the issue occurs again, however, I will send you the tasklog for the respective app.

Thanks a lot!

Hi Fabrice,

I have just written an email to our IT_guys asking them to do these changes in the configuration file - QlikView_Server is installed on our server, so that's where that will have to be done, no?

Can you tell me whether that will have any significant influence on the resource_usage of QlikView in general - for that's one question that they will be sure to shoot back at me ...

Thanks a lot!

no this should affect the performance of the server, however on disk the log will be slightly bigger. we are not talking about Gigs, only couple Mbs

Re: Status "Warning" in Management console

datanibbler — Fri, 10 Jan 2014 13:12:48 GMT

Hi Fabrice,

two more question that the IT_guys asked me:

- Will the QlikView_server or anything have to be restarted for these edits to take effect?

- For how long would we have to collect that detailed logging data?

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

no, no server restart is required.. neither needed for the physical machine nor for any of the QlikView services

Re: Status "Warning" in Management console

datanibbler — Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:01:12 GMT

Hi Fabrice,

today, I see that status again...

I'll have those extended logging_functions activated now - it's a bit difficult because QlikView is not actually supported by our corporate IT, but our IT_guys who are subordinate to corporate_IT, not really to us, are the only ones who can access files on the server 😉

Then I'll hope that we will have the same issue tomorrow and if so, I can send you the extended log_file tomorrow.

Thanks a lot!

Best regards,

DataNibbler

P.S.: Where is that tasklog.txt located, please?

Hi,

you will find it here:C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log\20140114, then find your reload for your application.

Hi,

now we have a mayor problem: After the IT_guys did these changes in that configuration file, the QlikView_Distribution_Service cannot be started anymore and the QlikView_expert at the support helpdesk is out sick today.

Re: Status "Warning" in Management console

fabrice_lawson — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 12:52:05 GMT

have you backed up the config file

QVDistributionService.exe.config; you mean the changes in this file right?

do you have a case ID with the support?

Re: Re: Status "Warning" in Management console

fabrice_lawson — Wed, 15 Jan 2014 13:06:13 GMT

it seems like the machine is 64 bit , but the QlikView is 32 bit.

can you confirm this?
