QVDistributionService.exe

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Good Morning,

I have a problem with the QVDistributionService service not starting, it's been running fine for weeks then it's just stopped. Having tried many different things including changing the user that runs the service, all the other QV services start using the same user.

I have uninstalled & re-install QV Server 11 but still won't start, the message is from the event viewer:

Log Name: Application

Source: QlikViewServer

Date: 14/11/2013 09:22:08

Event ID: 300

Task Category: None

Level: Error

Keywords: Classic

User: N/A

Computer:

Description:

The description for Event ID 300 from source QlikViewServer cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event.

The following information was included with the event:

Shared: Error on ReadBlob for object of type MetaServiceData, user: , id:

Event Xml:

<Channel>Application</Channel>

</System>

<Data>Shared: Error on ReadBlob for object of type MetaServiceData, user: , id:</Data>

</EventData>

</Event>

Hi, I am facing the same error message in the event-log. Anyhow our Distribution Service is running fine. So probably the problem of the Distribution service not starting has another source. It would be interessting to know about the reason of this event-log message anyhow.

HI,

What do you get for error when you try to start the service? Have you try to rename or delate the folder:

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService

The service start should create a new one folder will all setting like before without the logs ofcource.

Let me know if this work.

Are there any details in the QDS logs?

c:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log\.

prieper — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 09:03:44 GMT

have the same problem, renaming does not help, but have found entries in the c:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log\

quote

2/7/2014 09:56:43.5142377 Error An unexpected error occurred while trying to read notification file, C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Notification.xml. Exception=System.Exception: Failed to open C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Notification.xml with Read access after 30 retries. Exceptions=

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Notification.xml'.

.....

unquote

The mentioned Notification.xml has only the below entry:

quote

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<Root/>

unquote

After deletion it is created automatically with same entry.

Any other idea?

Edith says: it may help to attach the log files

Have your IT department installed anti virus software?

If so, C:\ProgramData\QlikTech has to be removed by rule to not be scanned.

Hi Jerry,

have excluded this directory, but n'theless keeps showing up (actually always three entries, each 10 seconds)

Can you describe your setup?

Do you have two clustered Publishers?

Re: QVDistributionService.exe

prieper — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 11:40:26 GMT

We have no publisher at all.

Can you run any jobs or isn't it working at all?

BTW

Found some errors in our log also. 🙂

Anti virus program problem will probably generate these errors:

"The process cannot access the file '\DistributionService\LoadBalancer.xml' because it is being used by another process."

On our system. QlikView works fine including automatic reloads... Just those log-entries occur very very often

Somewhere I found the information that this issue is fixed in the latest SR, but it is obviously not.

prieper — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 12:27:14 GMT

Same with us,

Apparently all works fine, except those entries in the log.

Hi,

we have the same errors, but sometimes internet explorer crash, so the users have to open a new browser window, and then all it's fine.

Re: QVDistributionService.exe

gonzaloruizgonz — Fri, 07 Feb 2014 13:28:41 GMT

Hi again,

How look the memory and CPU allocation when you got the error? Do you only get this for one reload? Is this something you got for all reloads ?

Can you please register the QVB, you can found it under:

c:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service

Just run the QVB file and it should return that the qvb is successfully register.

And the one million question, Have you restart the server?

BR//Gonza

//check you don´t have old register keys in windows, the follow map should be empty:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\QlikTech

Any solution ?

Re: QVDistributionService.exe

Wed, 19 Mar 2014 08:23:35 GMT

Hi Peter,

As standard QVS don´t have any config mode for Distribution service, you can test the following.

Change application data folder for QDS all togheter.

Go to program files > QlikView > Distribution Service.

Open QVDistributionService.exe.config, change the tag

To something entire different, like C:\Appdata\DistributionService < -- make sure to create this path

Save changes and close config file.

Then try and start QDS service again.

We are getting the same error, and eventually the server stops running.

A restart of QlikView Server and QlikView Web Server services resolves the issue - for a while.

Any ideas of what could cause this?

He all,

We have the same issue.

We're running 11.20.12235, going to upgrade to 11.20.12742, don't know whether it will help but as far as I can see the issue cannot be resolved by proposed manners.

Best regards,

Maxim
