ReLoading a qvw from a .bat file on QVS

Dear All,

From an aspx portal we have created a button launching a .bat command. The purpose of this command is to reload on demand the file Sales_result_DEV.qvw:

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\QV.exe" /r "D:\QlikViewData\Reports\Sales_result_DEV.qvw".

We are using QWS10 without Publisher.

When we run this on server the task manager, the ie screen is sleeping and the task manager shows a very low activity of QV.exe.

So nothing happens. Do we miss something? Is it the right way to reload a qvw File on request without using a QV desktop.

Thanks for your help.

Joris

Is a QlikView document reload log produced? Does QV desktop have a valid license?

Hi Gary

Actually we don't want to ask users to load the qvw file from their qlikview desktop.

We have designed an aspx portal that can modify some metadata in SQL server and after the update a button in the portal is launching a stored procedure... and ideally should reload the qvw files impacted by changes. On the QV server there is no QV desktop license. Is it mandatory?

Thanks

qv.exe = QlikView Desktop. Yes you need a valid user license to run that on the server.

You should try using QVDistributionService.exe.
