Task Log not displaying as expected

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Im new to writing QlikView Community so excuse me if my terminolgy or description is slightly "off"

In Enterprise Management Console under Status --> Tasks, we have a list of tasks that reload our QVW's. When a log is created for each task, a new folder is created in the below location.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\Publisher\Qlikview Distribution Service\Log

However, when I view the log via Enterprise Management Console --> Status --> Tasks --> Task Details --> Logs, the infomation comes from a slightly different location. Note the "1" near the end of the address.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\Publisher\Qlikview Distribution Service\1\Log

Is it possible to change either, the default location where logs are stored? or the location where Enterprise Management Console --> Status --> Tasks --> Task Details --> Logs picks up its info?

This is still causing an issue as the logs are not updating correctly.

How does the below get populated.

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\Publisher\Qlikview Distribution Service\1\Log

AND

How can you change the default location of where the logs go.

If I delete/rename the above folder then I get the below error in the log of the task.
