topic Error during reload: two docs with the same process ID in QlikView

Error during reload: two docs with the same process ID

bbi_mba_76 — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hi,

I have the following problem: we had several (inherited) old documents to reload every day and we use some batches because at the end of some of the docs there are macros to export data in excel/qvd files. Those excel/qvd files are the sources for the following reports.

In the batch I use the qv.exe if there are macro in the doc, otherwise the qvdistributionservice.exe (enabled batch mode).

Some of the batches could run at the same time.

Sometimes the reload fails, and often I verified that I have two documents reload with the same process ID (in red in the logs below). Is this(2 docs sharing the same process ID) the problem? Or this is ok, and the problem is different?

Hi,

You can use EDX trigger to fire macros.

I would recommend to use QlikView Server to schedule application reload.

Ok, but I missed to say the docs having errors are using the qvdistributionservice.exe

So it seems the problem is not due to the macros (I need the batch for the macros, but they don't seems to be the problem)

Re: Error during reload: two docs with the same process ID

This could happen if same qvd's are read by two of your applications.

Hence you can try by reloading it from server only and don't execute batch or windows schedule at the same time.

bbi_mba_76 — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 14:14:00 GMT

sorry but I don't understand... why reading the same qvd we have the same process ID? The reload starts (getting the process ID) but it doesn't know which qvd have to read, imho

So I try to explain better: I have batch1 for the reload of doc1.qvw and batch2 for doc2.qvw

Both are using the qvdistributionservice.exe

If they start at the same time, I find both with the same windows processID, then it seems that the distribution service is not able to save both the two qvw files, it seems that it save the first one and close, and the second qvw is getting an error because the save fails. Is it possible?

In the attachment I replicate the situation.

I tried to launch the two batches at the same time and sometimes (I'm not able to launch both the batches at once) I receive the error:

It seems that your batch launch of QVB is using the same process image to perform the two reloads in parallel, while normally the distributionservice launches a separate QVB for each reload. Can you control this from the command line (extra parameters required)?

Just a guess.

That is a current bug, when starting 2 batch files calling QDS.exe , they will then get the same processID and therefore one will fail.

This is fixed in upcomming Service Release 9

Let me add to this answer. You can do this now if you use two different bat files or put a wait between them.

At the moment I have two different bat files; and I don't know how check (and wait) if there is another qvdistributionservice.exe already running...

Hi,

It is only a couple of seconds. You can open Task Manager and watch the QVBs being fired.

bbi_mba_76 — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 15:49:51 GMT

In my tests I can watch the task manager, but during the scheduled daily task I can't do that (I suppose it is not so easy)

Re: Error during reload: two docs with the same process ID

Bill_Britt — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 20:44:27 GMT

Hi,

Create a new batch file and use the below format to start the first ones with 3 seconds between them.

start c:\test.bat

timeout /t 3

start c:\test1.bat
