Hi Krishnapriya,

The default location for this is the C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Documents folder, which is the root folder.

Have a look within your QMC what it says that your root folder is set to, see QMC > System > Setup > Management Service > QlikView Servers > QVS@servername > Folders.

Regards,

Erik

Hi Eric,

Thanks for your response.

I have changed the default location and checked the xml file in that location. we are able to see the Init, Servercounters & TicketData xml files except CalData.

Krishnapriya.

Hi Krishnapriya,

Is there any CAL data being generated yet? Have you applied a license? Is there anything going on at the server?

Do you get a CalData within the local QVS folders? Default location: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer .

Are they consistent over the cluster (same change date, hour, minute)?

Erik

Hi Eric,

Yes CALData is generated. eventhough I have used a common root directory for PGO files. In default path CALDATA within Loac QVS folder "C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer".

yes they are consistent over 3 server. checked the date, hour and minute.

Hi Krishnapriya,

Not completely sure about your response here. So the CalData.pgo does exist under C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer and is being modified continuously, meaning there is activity for it? Please confirm.

Are there users accessing the server that is using CALs? Can you try adding a few users and use a few CALs?

Regards,

Erik

Hi Eric,

I have changed the root directory by last week.

The CALDATA.pgo file in root directory is not reflecting the current changes. But CALDATA.PGO files under C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer in each server is getting reflected till date. Is this causing the issue in converting the pgo into XML.

Yes the users are using the CALs.

Krishnapriya.

Hi Krishna,

Just checked my own environment, and indeed it is created. It does contain information about all kinds of CALs (just tested Document and Named CALs). If you have Document CALs the .meta files will contain some of this information too.

Are you using Named CALs?

Try applying/removing the Server license again (note though that this will remove all CAL data), and you should see changes to the XML files, including CalData.pgo.

Erik

Hi Eric,

One qustion here. If I remove the license and apply it again whether Clustering will be removed?

Thanks

Krishnapriya.

Hi Krishnapriya,

The nodes will still be clustered once you apply the license again. I recommend you to double-check though.

Hello Everyone,

Even, I am facing similar issue, although, I am working on single server environment.

Initially, Xml files created properly for CalData.pgo file alongwith other pgo files in root folder.

But, suddenly it stopped refreshing only CalData.pgo and hence related Xml file.

This file is updating correctly in

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer

but not in root folder.

I removed the PgoAsXmlAlso=1 from settings.ini file, & re-applied it again.

But still, neither CalData.pgo file refreshing nor dose creating Xml file.

I am clueless.

Krishnapriya did your issue resolved?

Can anybody help me out here?

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

I had the same issues and it only works after that I re-start the QlikView server. Everybody say that re-start de QlikView services and I re-started all QlikView server services, but the xml files were generated after re-stard the server.

Now I'm verifying the xml files but I don't found the Document Name that contains the lost licences.

If anyone know how to found it, I would thank it.

Your setting.ini file must look like this:

[Settings 7]

PgoAsXmlAlso=1

DocumentDirectory=D:\Documentos\PGO

the attribute DocumentDirectory is the root where you have to looking for your xml files and it must be the same root that you have in the QlikView system tab (in the management console).
