Batch job

Hello,

after reload I want to export a textbos to a file.

Unfortunately QV server can not start macros or actions, so I have to do this with a vb-script:

I'm using

set qv = CreateObject("QlikTech.QlikView")
qv.OpenDoc "myfile.qvw"
qv.ActiveDocument.Fields("field1").Select "value"
set obj = qv.ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject("TB01")
obj.ExportBiff "destinationfile.xls"
qv.quit

This runs fine by starting the script manuel.

But using the publisher it runs not every time.

The statement in the task:

C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe D:\store.vbs

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Why don't you do it from the script instead ?


STORE FIELD1 into file.txt (txt);

Not the same.

I reduce the datas with a value in field.

I tried store tab into file.xls (txt), but by opening the file with Excel the values are not seperated.

Also it is not possible to export an table chart with this function, by with the export statement in the script.

Hi,

You can always make a temporary table in the script , put a WHERE clause, export it to text file, and than drop the temp table.

You might want to look at text files with something else than Excel . Or , eport to xls , that reads correctly in Excel

Once you have a text file with few columns and few numbers, there are million ways to make a static chart and copy/ publish/email that to file shares / ftp / Sharepoint

Now I realisied it by myself.

I created a qvw where the datas are loaded.

Then I created a macro in the file to export into file.xls and let the macro execute after reload file.

then I planned to start QV relaod the file in a windows task.
