Session Recovery in Ajax

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

Hi,

When I am trying to recover the session in Ajax(Close and Restore at the right top of the window), the values of the variables are getting lost.

Let me make it more clear.

I have a variable V1=1.

I go to a particular sheet and there I have a trigger to set a value to the variable.

Set Variable V1=2.

Then when I recover the session, it is taking me back to the sheet where I have lost the session but it again shows the value of the variable as V1=1 which should be 2.

Did anyone came across this?

Cheers,

Naresh

Maybe you have an "on open" trigger that resets the variable?

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the response.

But NO. I don't have any of the document triggers activated.

Hi,

are you reloading your dashboard and your script is setting the variable v1=1

Hi Abhishek,

I am not reloading the document. I am just recovering the session and then the variable V1 shows value 1.

Hi,

Please find the attached QVW.

When the button is clicked, I have given an action to set the value of a variable(Variable1=1 in Main sheet and Variable1=2 in the other) and it will assign once I click on the button. However, if the session is lost in access point(Ajax), the value will be shown as 0 again. Any idea?

Cheers,

Naresh

Naresh,

I just noticed that you use "Close and Restore at the right top of the window". Nothing's wrong with your application, apparently it just work this way. I tried using "close/restore" in another app, and it works the same way as you've described - variables reset to the values which are in the saved file.

If you simply close your browser (or tab) or go back to the access point, and reopen the application after that, the variables keep their values in AJAX.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Thank You for your response again. So, this can be treated as a bug? Because, if you recover the session(Close & Restore), the user will be taken back to the same sheet but with different data(if you are using the values of the variables to calculate something).

Cheers,

Naresh

Naresh,

I've never used this "Close" before, and don't have any expectations. If you decide to contact QlikTech Support about it, let us know what they say.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael,

Its not just Close/Restore. It is same as recovering a session after certain inactive time. And if I get a chance to contact QlikTech Support, I'll let you know. Thanks again for your time.

hi,

make sure that Allow Session Recovery is ticked under QMC > setup >QvS > Documents > Allow Session Recovery

Re: Session Recovery in Ajax

It is already allowed and that is the reason it is taking me to the same sheet. I have attached the qvw(in the other reply). Please test it from your end if you get some time.

this is just my opinion since i was work for qlikview partner office in my country..many people expect more than they know..specially people still misunderstood about what Business Intelligence is. First thing we have to know that BI is not an Apps or ERP apps or any business apps..BI is BI..where peoples..not only you or 1 people can use..or look at it..BI apps is use for many people at the same time..at the same document for many different purpose..that is why BI cannot store information like an apps..because BI only can read and visualize the data..for QV nothing you can expect more for variable..and I think for any BI apps..when you open or restoring the document..they must be open the default document you create before..because they don't store any data from us..even in web apps we know we have a session..but BI still have to open for us their default document..have you ever imagine if we can store the document in BI..and many people changing or storing any data at the same time..it is not BI..thx

Hi All,

Thanks for your replies.

This can be done by checking the box, Include in bookmarks of that variable under document properties.

This will actually save the values of the variables even when the session is lost.

Hi Ano,

And finally QlikView can store the values in the variables even after the session is lost. Hope you understood my question, the variables are not accessed by any users and not different people are trying to change the values in the variables at the same time.

Thank You.

Cheers,

Naresh
