How to pass several variables to QVDistributionService ?

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

Hello,

Is it possible to set several variables through QVDistributionService ?

In fact

If I create a test document test.qvw

I create two variables A, B, C without value

I save

I close the document

When I call QVDistributionService through a command line

C:\Program Files\QlikView\DistributionService\QVDistributionService -r="<path>\test.qvw" -variablename=A -variablevalue=1 -variablename=B -variablevalue=2 -variablename=C -variablevalue=3

There is no error...Only lines with "Information...."

When I reopen the test.qvw document only the lastvariable C is set with value "3". No change on the other variables

Have you a solution, a tip using QVDistributionService

Thanks in advance

Amaury M

You can't do this at this time. It will accept only one variable.

How about a variable array? Or just a compound value? I agree with Bill on the variable limitation, but just because you can only pass one variable doesn't mean it can only contain one value.

Pass in Var1-Var2-Var3 through the command line, and then filter them back into components in the receiving app.
