Hi all,

Currently i'm running th qlikview file through batch file with below command for every 30 minutes.

"C:\QlikView\Program Files\qv.exe" /r "C:\EAT_V4.2\DataExtractor\DataExtractor30Minutes.qvw"

Now i'm facing the problem in task manger --> Process tab , it is holding the old qv.exe. Because of this after some time period qlikview got stop working to open or run batch files. But after killing the old process Manually again its getting working.

Is there any command for killing the old qv.exe process in taskmanager through BATCH file ?

Thanks in advance.

You dont have to kill the QV.exe.

I did it this way, it works.

I use the line

tskill qv

in a similar batch file for the same reason. tskill is a utiity in Windows XP Pro and in various editions of Windows 7.

I have not tested that on Server. I suggest that you google "tskill windows server" or similar.

You may need taskkill.exe on Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008. Check this url:

Hi,

Just curious, notice you are using qv.exe.

You probably need to perform the lic leasing every 30 days with yours service account?

But did you try using QVDistribution.exe?

Hi guys!

Did you have any solution yet?

Since we installed the QV11 server, there is always running a qv.exe.

If we tried to kill it by "taskkill" windowns function, the system creates automatically another qv.exe.

It stucks our macro functions in a never ended loop.

Hope you can help me.

Regards, Marcel.

Hi marcel,

Try this below command in batch file, i think it will help you bcoz it works for me.

taskkill /F /IM qv.exe

Thanks Venkat for your answer,

unfortunatelly I added that line in my batch file script yesterday, and it worked, but partially, because the system "magically" creates another qv.exe instance. I don't know why.

It seems to be a bug, I'm just trying to manage it meanwhile qliktech is solving this problem.

Do you have any more ideas?

Regards, Marcel.

Hi,

Try to restart all the Qlikview services and just try again the command. It might resolve your problem.

If any other better approach i will let you know.

Regards,

Venkat.
