Reload Button

Tue, 24 Dec 2013 05:03:35 GMT

Hi,

I created the input box and reload button in my dashboard, so that end user put the file name in the input box and reload manually when they want.

Its working fine in my development environment but not in access point.

Kindly guide me how can I achieve this.

Hi,

From Qlikview help file

Reload

Performs a reload on the current document. This function does not work in AJAX client.

Try reloading using IE plugin instead of Ajax client.

Regards,

Jagan.

Yes macros do not work on IE plugin.

If you want to give user flexibility to reload a document, then I think this way can help you out.

Create a batch file to reload your document.

No in Button properties>Triggers> Add Action, open external program, there define this batch file to be executed.

In this way you can reload the document by user.

You can perform the same using batch processing and macros.

Hi Adeel,

The Dashboard cannot be reloaded from the accesspoint. Instead ask the user to download the dashboard and then reload.

For this you need to enable the option 'Download' in the Accesspoint tab of the QV Server settings.

Hope this helps!

There is no direct way of reloading qv application from front end. You can try with EDX or some similar procedures. Have a look here:

Great Nitin..

Looks that it will help. but problem is to store a value in variable.

without saving the app is it possible to store a value.?

how to save the doc via access point?

when we are using /r in our batch file, it automatically saves the file ,

while if we use /r /s , then batch will provide a prompt asking whether you want to save the file or not.
