I want to run macros in my tool in AJAX. Is it possible to do that?

Hi Piyush, from Reference Manual, in the chapter 80 "Using Macros in QV Documents on the QV-Server" you can check macros limitations.

It's a short chapter, not sure but maybe there is your answer. Depends on what you trying to do with macros.

Hi Ruben,

I know there are limitations while using AJAX. But i have created a button to run the macro and its running but not stopping at all or generating a ppt report that the macro is supposed to do. Can you help me with that?

PPT macro export will be difficult.

All macros in Ajax is executed serverside.

Hard to say without debug. I did that in a document opened from server through qlikview desktop, not AJAX, in this case I used a network path like \\DocumentsServer\PptExports\Report.ppt

This way, server and user can access the path but from AJAX I'm not sure if this can work.

I don't know if you can, but remember that you can install QVDesktop on client, so it can access to application with "open in server..."

Doing this, all my macros worked fine for me!

You could try to install Powerpoint on your QVS machine and save the export to a local drive on the QVS machine.

Might work, haven't tried it myself though.

Hi,

I have created a template for it and stored it at the required location. Its working well on desktop or even on remote server but not on accesspoint. Is there a particular reason for that?
