Task status shows "Running" even it is completed successfully

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

We have a qvw reload task, which is executed successfully but the task status is still showing 'running'. Please see the attachment.

Also,it is showing Abort button enable, but on clicking- it doesn't go to grey.

We recently upgraded server to 11.2 SR7. Is it a known issue?

Could anyone help me what is the problem.

Is your publisher set to 'Automatic refresh of task list'? (bottom right)

No, 'Automatic refresh of task list' is unchecked. But I refreshed the web browser several times to check the task status.

Have you tried to add a Exit Script at the end of your script?

I've faced the same problem one day.

The problem was that my script was creating Synthetic Keys and/or Circular Reference.

Try to add a trace to see how far the script is going, also check the RAM usage.

This is an issue that is with us for a long time now. Same in SR8 & SR9.

We have not found any way to correct that.

No issues with script, data model or RAM usage. App is executing successfully, but problem is with it's QMC task which shows 'running' status even after execution is completed successfully.

Thanks giakoum.
But presently, is there a way to resolve this- except restarting the services?

Is there a qvb.exe process running when you look in Task Manager?

No qvb.exe is running for this particular process (ProcessId I got from task logs).

On the distribution server

folder : C:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service

file QVDistributionService.exe.config

add the ApplicationDataFolder value :

<add key="ApplicationDataFolder" value="\\<YourPath>\QlikView Storage\ApplicationDataFolder" />

I would suggest to fill a Case with QlikView Support, so we can have a deeper look into it. There was a Bug long time ago but also sometimes a mismatch in the Config can produce this issue. To be sure we have to investigate this and provide a solution to you.
