The QlikView Engine isn't responding to close command

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

Hello,

The following message appears in QlikView 9.0 Server.

The QlikView Engine isn't responding to close command, it will be killed (Please ignore logged errors about the kill).
Killing the QlikView Engine. ProcessID=2660
Closed the QlikView Engine successfully. ProcessID=2660
Initializing (0), Finished (6422)
The task "Test.qvw" finished with warnings. WarningCount=1

What can I do to correct this or should I just ignore it.

Thank You,

Hi Michael,

I have the same issue while I'm migrating to the 9.0 SR3 version,

Did you get any update on this issue ?

My Qvw log result is ok, it seems this is "just" a server issue...

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Rgds,

Sébastien

unfortunately the timespan allowed for the QVB to close gracefully is a bit tight for very large apps. but even if there is an actual error closing it it shouldn't affect the outcome of the distribution so can ignore this warning.

Unfortunately, it fails the distribution.. Because this error is followed by this:

Normal 0 21 false false false FR X-NONE X-NONE

Error Could not request the QlikView Engine process to quit.. Exception=System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80010108): The object invoked has disconnected from its clients. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010108 (RPC_E_DISCONNECTED))

Any idea ??

Thanks !

Just to inform you, the problem is coming from documents with macro functions contained in the script.

It is stil working in Developper, but not in Publisher (9 SR4)

That means that it is not possible to create custom macros functions to use in the script ( in some cases it can be friendly to use custom functions).

I'm thinking about a workaround...

Cheers

I just got this error for the first time this morning. Has anyone any idea what is causing this?

It just happened on my three largest applications. My standard action lately has been to reboot the server and rerun. There has to be a reason for these messages. Looking for anyone who has an idea why this is occuring.

UPDATED: After my reboot, the problem has gone away for now. I have been rebooting this server almost every other day due to issues that I am having with publisher/server. Is anyone else having issues with Publisher/Server?

This can happen if you have very large documents handled by the QlikView Engine.

However there is a possibility to modify the time the Distribution Service will wait for the document to close.

Open the config file for the Distribution Service ([Install path]\QlikView\Distribution Service\QVDistributionService.exe.config) and modify/add the setting "SECONDSTOWAITBEFOREQVBKILL".

Default value should be 16.

Example where it has been changed to one minute:

This is addressed in QV12 I guess.
