Hi,

Try this.

Open QlikView Application -> Help -> About QlikView -> Left side bottom you will see QlikView logo, right click on the logo, a new window will open.

Here find the variable called "ApplicationRescue" click on that, set the value 1 and click on set.

Close qlikview and then try to open your corrupted qlikview application.

Hello,

I know this is an old post, but I have found another solution in QV 11 SR2. If you right click on the name of the file from within QV, there is an option to "load without data." I have been able to recover a document by doing this and then reloading the data from within QV.

Yay for this "easter egg" that reminds me of video-game cheats when playing "Super Nintendo"

In my case, the users getting the error message simply did not have File access (so it was a filesystem problem, not Qlikview). I gave them Read access via Windows Properties > Security, etc, and it worked.

Thank you very much Jonathan for share your solution of the problem. It help me a lot.

The "easter egg" didn't work but this did....

If you don't have the app on your most recently used list you can use this tool, which is really very neat:

Hallo guys,

I am in the same crazy problem.

I have a desktop in my home and a laptop at my office. I use the personal edition qlik view to both my pcs to run a couple of the same files. A month ago my desktop couldn't open my qlik files any more. And yesterday my laptop!!! I tried my many backup files but none of them can open. The strange is that while i can create a new QVW file and save it, then i cannot load it... The error message is the same. File xxxx failed to load.

Solutions like "Open data reports without data" or setting to 1 the "Application Rescue" and "Script Rescue" DO NOT work.

PLS help me i am in a desperate position. I cannot work.

Hi,

This is functioning exactly as it should be, although I get that it is hugely frustrating. The point of the Personal Edition is that it is purely for use by one person and, as the biometrics to enforce this are very tricky, this is controlled by stamping each QVW file with a key based on the hardware that it was created on. One the machine that was used to create an app can open it, using Personal Edition.

The only solution to this is to get yourself a Desktop Licence for QlikView. You may struggle to find someone to sell you this, but it is still available on the Qlik price-list.

It's worth noting also about Personal Edition that in the ULA it states that it's not to be used for commercial purposes. This tends to get ignored for proof-of-concept apps etc., which to my mind is what PE is great for, but it shouldn't really be used for production apps.

Perhaps the best route forward is to move to Sense Desktop, which is also free but does not have the same licence restrictions. There is a bit of a learning curve, but it is worth it. There is a QlikView converter tool to help you make the jump, see this blog post for more details: https://www.quickintelligence.co.uk/dragging-items-into-qlik-sense-desktop/

Hope that helps.

Thanks Steve,

I have done too much work to move to sense desktop... There are many lines of scripts, i do not have the courage to rewrite all these to another platform.

How can i " You may struggle to find someone to sell you this, but it is still available on the Qlik price-list."

Hi,

All of the script and expressions will be taken across by the converter. The charts will be created as Master Items, which make them easy to drop onto a sheet, but they layout will need to be created from scratch.

The converter may be worth a look as Sense Desktop will run happily on the same machine as QlikView and it won't take too long to find out if it will work for you or not.

To get a licence I would go to the partner list on the Qlik site (Qlik Find A Business Intelligence Solution Partner) and pick one that is local. If you are in the UK, or there are no partners in your region, please get in touch with myself.
