QlikView Task running "forever" in 11SR1

Clever_Anjos — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Colleagues,

We´ve upgrated one of our production servers to 11SR1.

Our server is a Win2003R2 Standard Edition x64 with SP2 installed.

Since then, we are experiecing a weird issue: some tasks seems to be "running" into QEMC even though the task has aborted.

Our QDS log shows some lines like:

(2012-05-24 09:04:08) Information: Closed the QlikView Engine successfully. ProcessID=5592

(2012-05-24 09:04:08) Error: The task "Cargas/Gera QVD - Cronogramas.qvw" failed. Exception:

(2012-05-24 09:04:08) Error: Task failed with exception

(2012-05-24 09:04:08) Error: Exception=The currently executing operation was aborted.

When this occur I have to restart the Distribution Service, but as the problem became more frequent I´ve downgraded to version 10SR4.

Any of you have an idea about what´s happening?

Best Regards

Hi,

Some questions in regards to the installation and that issue:

Does the installation process run without issues or warning messages?
Does that happen to all tasks or only to some of them?
Do you have .NET 4 Extended installed as a role in your Server?
Does the user running the QDS have permissions or has it changed anyway?
Did you upgrade or did a fresh install?
Did you try renaming the C:\ProgramData\QlikTech folder and let the install process create a new one?
Does that keep running if you refresh the QMC webpage?

Hope that helps.

Miguel

Yes

Only some of them

Do you have .NET 4 Extended installed as a role in your Server?

Does the user running the QDS have permissions or has it changed anyway?

Same permissions of 10SR4

Did you upgrade or did a fresh install?

Upgraded first

Install renaming QlikTech folder

Did you try renaming the C:\ProgramData\QlikTech folder and let the

install process create a new one?

Yes

Does that keep running if you refresh the QMC webpage?

Yes, when I restart QDS they show as "failed"

QlikView Task running "forever" in 11SR1

Miguel_Angel_Baeyens — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 12:48:36 GMT

Hi,

The only obvious reason I see from your answers is that QlikView 11 requires .NET 4 Extended in order to work properly, while some releases of QlikView 10 will work with .NET 3.5.1

Hope that helps.

Hi,

Did you manage to solve this one? I'm having the same issue on a server where we have upgraded from 10SR3 to 11SR1 only we have installed .NET 4 Extended.

It's a little concerning as it means the extract task we have doesn't run and therefore none of the reports that work off that will update.

Regards,

Chris

Hi,

I have been doing some testing by myself and I'm pretty sure this is at least a unexpected behavior. So you better open a support case sending an email to support@qlik.com with the most detail possible.

Hope that helps.

Hi,

I am also having some what same issue.

I am using QV 11 SR1 server/publisher.Windows server 2008 R2 standard edition and .NET 4 Extended installed.

I am having issue with some tasks on publisher.Task status remains in running state in task details tab but when I see it in task history tab its shows as success.

Actually, task has run successfully and data is updated in QVD but status remains running, I am not able to abort/stop it from running status.Everytime I am deleting the task and creating new task for the same because I am not able resolve the issue.

Any help/suggestion would be a great help.

Cheers,

Amay

chris_johnson — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 10:23:53 GMT

You may well be right. I've stopped and restarted the QlikView Server, Distribution Service and Management Service for good measure and all seems to be ok at the moment.

Very strange.

Chris

Hi Amay,

I was getting the same problem. The only suggestion I have at the moment is to restart the QlikView services and hopefully it should reset itself.

Regards,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Thanks for suggestion.

But this issue was not happening when I used test server lincense on server,this started happening only when I applied main lincense on the server. Is it same for you too?

Its weird but i think i have to restart the services.

Anyways I will take up this issue with QlikTech Support.

Cheers,

Amay

We are experiencing the very same issue.

Distribution Server does (sometimes) get out of sync with QMC (running on antother machine).

The issue ... "Tasks" in QMC show "running", although the Logfile says "succeeded"/"failed" already and the task already is terminated.

The QMC stays out of synch until we restart the Distribution Service, which is not an acceptable workaround.

It does not help to restart the QMC-Service to resync the task-status unfortunately.

Any furthter suggestions?

We´re planning a "fresh" install this weekend. I´ll keep you informed

Hi,

I've also experienced taskt that shows as "running" in the QMC in QV11SR1.

This thread mentions that it could be a bug in QV11: http://community.qlik.com/thread/51992

Bug ID is 46575.
