Syntax to launch an application in server

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

My aim is to launch an external application in the qlikview server on a user button click (via Accesspoint)

So, in the button's launch action I have specified the server name followed by the physical path in server where the application is placed.

But when I tried clicking the button from accesspoint, it is showing two errors.

Lets say the physical server name is ABCD01

and the physical location in server where this application resides is E:\Image2PDFCommandLineTool\V2-73\Image2PDF.exe,

In the launch action of button I am giving the application path like \\ABCD01\E:\Image2PDFCommandLineTool\V2-73\Image2PDF.exe (I even tried without E:\, as \\ABCD01\Image2PDFCommandLineTool\V2-73\Image2PDF.exe)

Is there any different way to specify the path when you are refering to applications outside ur local system?

Thanks

Sircute

That function is to launch application on the fron-end user side and not in the server. For server your best bet would be VBScript macro. May be you can consume a webservice, which would start this application upon trigger.
