QMC "Waiting for node"

njmaehler — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi all,

I have a client on QlikView 12.60 and today all the scheduled tasks did not run. They all timed out after 45 minutes.
I have manually tried to start the task however the task goes into "pause" mode and the message is "waiting for node".

Does anyone have any suggestions what could be the issue?
All services are up and running and everything worked 100% yesterday.
I am able to reload the model via the Desktop application but just not through the QMC.

Hi @njmaehler,

Your description sounds as if you have too many simultaneous tasks running versus the number of available reload engines (cores). Review the attached Scaling QlikView Publisher.pdf and look at the Optimizing for Stability and Performance - How Many Reload Engines (QVB) to Allow in an Environment section.

Best Regards

Thanks for the reply. A re-start of all the services resolved the issue (even though all were running) and we did initially try restarting just the QlikView Server and the QlikView Distribution services.
