Why macro doesn't work in webview

Mon, 20 Oct 2014 10:13:08 GMT

Hi, people.

I had a bad surprise when I put my dashboard to work in WebView: the actions that call macros doesn't work.

They just disappear when I select that mode. See bellow...

Thanks for any help.

Macros do not work in Ajax, because in the portal there is no VBScript interpreter (imagine opening this QVW on a Mac in Safari)

You can get them to work all right, if you restrict the set of possible QlikView client applications to QV Desktop (Open In Server) and QlikView Plug-in for IE.

Some macro's may work on the server side (always a windows server) if you restrict yourself to non-client, non-UI related operations. See the QlikView Reference Manual Chapter 80 - Using Macros in QV Documents on the QV-Server.

Good luck,

Peter

Ok...

And what happens if I re-write my code in JavaScript?

This could be useful?

Yes, but that may not fix your problem. Your translations will still be executed as server-side macro's.

I am change the containers' tab index through the buttons.

First one, I attribute the value of variable admContainerToFocus. It will set the name of container control and the index to be actived.

So, I call the macro without parameters, which will call the final procedure. This is the code:

'-----------------------------------------------------

' Set focus to a tab inside Container - Caller

Sub FocusTabContainer ()

On Error Resume Next

Set admCTF = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("admContainerToFocus")

admFocusTabContainer Split(admCTF.GetContent.String, ",")

End Sub

'-----------------------------------------------------

' Set focus to a tab inside Container

Sub admFocusTabContainer(vParam)

Container = vParam(0)

Index = vParam(1)

NewIndex = 0

Set ContainerObj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(Container)

Set ContProp=ContainerObj.GetProperties

On Error Resume Next

x = Int(Index) + 2

If err = 0 and x > 0 Then

NewIndex = x - 2

Else

i = ContProp.ContainedObjects.Count - 1

For i = 0 To i

If ContProp.ContainedObjects.Item(i).Text.v = Index Then

NewIndex = i

End If

Next

End If

On Error Goto 0

Set d = ActiveDocument.GetVariable("admDEBUG")

d.SetContent dbg, True

ContProp.SingleObjectActiveIndex = NewIndex

ContainerObj.SetProperties ContProp

End Sub

Thanks.

I don't know what you mean. Chapter 8 is about the Getting Started Wizard.

Nowadays it's Chapter 81 - Using Macros in QV Documents on the QV-Server

Hello Ricardo

Your problem is solved?

If the problem is solved please give me more detailed informations and screenshot about the solution because I use qlikview recently and I need to run my macro in webview ( that export an object to txt file in a network folder ). My macro works perfectly in normal mode.

I wait your replay.
