Hi,

Does this error occurs frequently or randomly.

Few cases if we use the Shared drive we will get this type of issue due to Network issues.

Re: Failed Task On QMC?

krishnacbe asked a question regarding if the source document is stored on SAN/NAS. What is the answer? Do other reload tasks from this location work? If no, then try moving or copying the source document to local C: drive location and setup a reload task from there.

Also I have checked that document is present in source document containing the qvw file under having the task with its details.

I'm not clearly understand you, but the file isen't in the folder or you do not have Access to look into the folder?

As Chip ask: do other task running from the same folder?

Can you open the file With qlikview desktop?

Re: Failed Task On QMC?

Colin-Albert — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 14:05:34 GMT

Can you logon to the server using the user that is running the QlikView Distribution Service and see if you can access the source document with that account.

It sounds like the QlikView Distribution Service account does not have permissions to the source document folder or qvw file.

I suggest you reach out to Qlik Support and raise a support ticket. Be sure that you provide both the task log of the failed reload task along with the document log of the QVW file associated with the failed task. By default, the task logs are stored in %ProgramData%\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log\DateOfTask\NameOfTask. If you have configured the QDS Application Data Folder in a different folder, you can check the location by looking in the QMC > System > Setup > Distribution Services > QDS@ > General tab. If document logging is enabled, it will be stored in the same directory in which the QVW file is housed. If document logging is not enabled, you will need to open the QVW file in QlikView Developer, click Settings > Document Properties > General tab and ensure the Generate Logfile checkbox is ticked. Then run the reload task so that the document log is generated.

Also provide the full QlikView Server/Publisher build version (i.e. 11.20.12904) and the location of the Source Documents (SAN, NAS, local storage, connected storage, etc.). Inform support if this reload task ran successfully previously and just started falling recently, or this is a newly configured task that hasn't run successfully from the start.

Hi ,

Right now,

I have checked the task details in that document that showing the file path name for the desired qvw file.

I found that the source document containing the qvw is not present present in desired folder.

So is that the issue of not reload the task successfully.

Hi YJ,

if you not find the qvw in the sourcefolder then that is Your problem. Map the folder in QMC (setup QDS folder path) or move the qvw to another folder.
