Hi,

It's a pretty small image, but I think it will do. First of all, use the QlikView Enterprise Management Console instead of the QlikView Management Console. There you should be able to create and trigger reload tasks just fine.

If that doesn't work check the following:

Have you checked that all QlikView services are running in the Windows services console (Startup, Run, services.msc)? Try stop all services and restarting them again.
Did you set administrator permissions (or privileges enough) so the distribution service can write in the folders where the files are going to be stored (the root folder and mounted folders in the QEMC, System, Setup, QlikView Server, folders)?
Can you reload manually if you get locally to the files?

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Did you try the QlikView Enterprise Management Console instead as I suggested above?

Hi,

QlikView Enterprise Management Console is the one you have to use. The other one is still in version 10 (probably because interface compatibility or something like that), but dissapears in version 11, that "merges" both into one only QlikView Management Console. There may be some lack of functionality in the QMC that is causing those issues. QEMC should not.

Hi,

In short: IIS is the official Microsoft web server, whilst QVWS is a smaller version of a web server bundled with QlikView. I'm not going to deepen into the differences between IIS and QVWS. You can check the official Microsft documentation for IIS. QVWS is a low functionality web server that will work fine to render Ajax webpages and communicate between the client and the server.

Note that when QlikView is allowed to use port 4747 (so called QVP protocol) the client (Desktop, IE Plugin) connects directly to the Server, there is no need of a webserver between them and performance and speed improves significantly.

But when port 4747 is not available, then QlikView tunnels to port 80 so the client always and only communicates with QVWS and QVS always and only communicates to QVWS. This is a slower connection, though.

All the options available for the QVWS are configurable in the QEMC, System, Setup, QlikView Web Server. The IIS has its own management console (startup button, run, inetmgr.exe).

Roughly speaking, in most cases running QVWS works just fine and you don't need anything else. But there may be cases, specially when you are already serving webpages using IIS, when IIS is preferred. IIS, as a more powerful web server, allows much more customization and security options, because it communicates directly to the Active Directory where all the users and permissions are. IIS integrates completely with Windows, and if your network and systems architecture is based on Windows, it might be a good idea to deploy QlikView reports on IIS instead of QVWS.

It depends completely on you what server to use. As far as I'm concerned, I always prefer to use QVWS, however in some cases due to security restrictions IIS is used instead.

Hope that makes an idea.

we have degraded your server from QV11 to QV 10

But the issue is we are unable to open the QEMC

but access point is able to view .

we have NET Framework version V4.0.

Check whether you are running as localhost on Qlikview server
