Macros not working while reloading using QlikView Management Console.

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi Guys.

I am working on a qlikview application. In this application I have written a postReload macro so that it runs after each reload. This works fine when the reload is done manually in my system. But once I posted it in the server and tried to reload it again using the QlikView Mangaement console, it is not working. The macro used here is to export data from a List Box(LB03) into a .csv file. Please help me find a solution for this issue. I am attaching the sample application on which I am working.

Regards

Thopz.

There are a couple things you can try: 1) make sure that "Allow macro execution on server" is enabled under QEMC --> System --> QlikView Server --> Security tab; 2) there are sometimes issues with running macros on the server even if it's allowed, so you can try doing a command-line reload and, if that works, set the command line statement as a Supporting Task in QEMC so that Publisher can run it.

Steph,

Since I wrote that post, I've learned that PostReload macros never work server-side. This is not a bug, but is rather an intended feature of Publisher. Take a look at Rob's post here for a workaround, maybe you will find it helpful: http://community.qlik.com/forums/t/17331.aspx

Try this link:

There is no way I know of to run macros in OnPostReload from server. The workaround is to acheive the the same fiunctionality without uisng macro.

If you are using publisher, schedule an external task to run after the reload. Otherwise schedule a cscript task somehow after the reload has run.

Hi Rob,

My macro was working properly form long time and suddenly it stoped working on server.

I checked steps which are given on various links still its not working or it partially works and then stops working in between the script. I don't understand why it's behaving like this...

It will be great if you can help me regarding this.

Thanks!!
