Hi,

To start the PGO files are always in the Root Folder. The command PgoAsXmlAlso=1 is the right command. You did restart the Qlikview Server service?

Hi Narender,

These are binary files and can't be read outside of QVS. Trying to open them can cause QVS to crash.

Bill hi,

sorry for digging an old problem from the past.

I've add the PgoAsXmlAlso="1 command to the setting.INI, restated the server but i still don't get my PGOs as XML.

We're using QV10 Enterprise edition.

What am im doing wrong?

Just a small clarification; the PGO's will not be replaced by XML files.

Hi Bill,

Pls help me in identifying the file where this line needs to added.

Can you point location of the file and which file needs to be edited?

Hi All,

I've sstopped all the Qlikview services.

I've changed the Settings.ini file.

and started the qlikview-services.

But de xml's are not created.

Or are they created in an other map?

We are using this Qlikview-version

Hi Kris,

They should be under your ROOT folder.

Hi Kris,

To follow up on Bill correct post, check your QMC > System > Setup > QlikView Servers > QVS@ > Folders tab > Root Folder field. Make note of the file path and open the file path in Windows Explorer and you should see the .pgo.xml files there.

Hope this helps,

Chip

Hi all,

I've converted PGO files into XML. Thanks Bill.

How do I convert the LastUsed field in CalData.pgo.xml to a date?

LastUsed Filed : 40E545AB013B8B30 (Actually 09 April 2019 )

Thanks,
Nurettin
