Does your document contain Section Access?

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 13:05:19 GMT

you mean hidden script with section access .NO

Thx

awhitfield — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 15:34:14 GMT

Section Access doesn't have to be in a hidden script.

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 15:36:03 GMT

Even in the script .I didn't found any section acces .

Maybe the user the server is using to reload documents does not have windows access to that file.

But it really looks more like a Qv section access thing...

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 15:50:51 GMT

when i reload the application in same server with QV desktop it works .

How can you explain this ?

Thx

try putting the user you use on your Qv desktop client here :

The service user is probably not the same user you used to run Windows. Different users - different access. I think that Ioannis Giakoumakis got it right.

That is, check what the service user is, and make sure it has windows permissions on the QV file.

When running it QV Desktop, you are using the credentials you are logged on with, when running from QMC it will user the credentials of the account running the QV Services..

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 15:56:43 GMT

normally it's the same machine i don't need to do that .But any way , i have tried it , it's not ginving anything it still failed.

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

giakoum — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:00:18 GMT

then it is definitely not section access. That leaves only windows access (different service user) as an option.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:02:42 GMT

can you explain more ?

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

giakoum — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:08:58 GMT

Go to the windows services and check which user is used to start the QlikView services. This is your service account. Is it the same user you are using?

When you right-click on a file or a folder, there is Properties on the bottom of the pop-up menu. Go there, and select tab Security. You can see what users have access to the file, and what type of access.
The user account which is running QV services needs at least read and write permissions, but full control wouldn't hurt either. Add this account if it's not there.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:10:14 GMT

yes it's the same .

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:12:58 GMT

i have done this before .

the user account which runs QV desktop ,Server services and logged on the windows session is the same .

Some piece of the puzzle is missing

Are you sure it is the same QV file? Could be same name different location(???)

Re: Document open call failed. The document might require username and password.

mohamed_ahid — Fri, 20 Feb 2015 16:27:00 GMT

yes I'm pretty sure

Well, you've checked the next possible reasons:

1. Section access (the most probable given the error) - none

2. File access by service user - not an issue

3. File is the same.

Since the Community can't see your environment, your last resort is to open case with the Qlik Support. Let us know what they find, I'm really curious.
