Can't reload application in Management console with section access.

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I face an issue with section access:

My application can't be reloaded in management console (Only way in production, no QV desktop).

If section access script is commented, then the application works and can be reloaded.

In attached file you can find my section access script, and the security file (user who runs QV services is DOMAINE\qvservice)

Here is the error displayed in the management console.

David ,

Pls check whether your absolute path for the excel document (Prod environment) is correct.

Hi Karthick, thanks for your help.

I deployed the same application, with '//' at every line of section access script, and it runs successfully -> So it confirms that my problem is located on section access.

On the generated log, i can see the following line :

28/12/2012 16:53:53: 0005 SET pathSecu='D:\MYFOLDER\SECURITY\'

which is the correct path of the xls security file.

Maybe you were on a false way becaus I change the log, to avoid showing path & name of my applications.

Any other idea ?

Thanks for your help

Welcome, David ..

Whenever tasks run fine in Development QEMC and we(my team) face a reload failure in the Production QEMC, the first thing we will check for is the Path ... That is wat i was trying to tell you .. Anyways happy to hear that your problem has been solved ..

If you find it as a helpful or correct answer, you can just mention it in the LEGENDS (on right top below bookmarked by) , so that it would be encouraging ..

Oh Actually my problem is not solved ! I just find a way to check if it was a path issue and confirm that issue is located on section access.

I had same problem with my reports and after few hours of google, i found this on a forum:

"The account that should be entered into the section access is the account of the “Distribution Service” (your screenshot shows “QlikView Server”)"

you can find Distribution Service in Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Administrative Tools\Services

there, you must enter same user as secction acces admin.

It worked for me

Let us know if it works for you too.

Else,

You can just add the user account of the Distribution service to your section access script.

But there is an option in the Reload tab of the QMC to add the service account which can be used to run the task.You can add the account which has access to the QVW file in this tab and run the report.

Try it out and let us know if it worked.

Hi All,

Thanks for your help.

I find the solution of my problem :

I was using 2 Qlikview server, 1 in dev & 1 in production, and account services are not the same.

I added account of service from production in section access table of developpement, reload it, and after deploying in production it was OK.

Actually the problem was that the qvw delivered was already restricted.

Thanks alls
