Enable/Disable Logfile without opening qvw

sunny_talwar — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:04:41 GMT

This is a long shot, but is there a way to enable/disable logfile generation without opening the dashboard? This is for a Huge application (~20GB) which doesn't upon on local desktop machine.

I do have an alternate of opening this with no data and then enabling/disabling the logfile, but I wonder if there is another way to do this without opening the qvw.

Thanks,

Sunny

Better you can open it with No data and disable this option and save it different name rather than your current dashboard name

Ex:-

SalesDB_NOLog.qvw

1. Then take reload of this and then after reload again rename it with original name.

2. Load Dashboard with no data with same name and take full reload.

May be here Rob will help if there is any Command prompt option is available to enable or disable.

Generally we enable log file to check the errors but why you want to disable it?

Its for testing the reload time with and without log file enabled..... Logfile generated by this dashboard is 10MB, I want to see if the reload time goes down drastically if I disable the logfile.

Thanks Anand -

I know about this option, looking for a way to do this without opening it with no data and then doing it.

Will see if rwunderlich‌ can offer any suggestions.

You can try messing around with the XML part of the QVW (untested), the option to generate the log is part of it.

Search for something like

But you would need a tool that allows editing the XML part without actually opening the complete QVW in editor.

Sunny, question was interesting but never come across to check.

Can you run this from your CMD prompt qv.exe -r Path.qvw and Run. Make sure the cmd path where Qlik installed to run the out side Qlikview of Qlik applications. Using cd or cd.. can forward and backward in CMD prompt if needed

BTW, I assume that you are talking about the desktop client only, right?

(But then, how do you test the reload without opening the file?)

I might be wrong, but I think you can disable the logfile globally on QMC.

I think you play with configuration settings.ini file of QlikView server in which you can define the parameter to generate log file. But then this settings will get applied to all the QVW available on that server.

Stefan - When you say globally, do you mean that it will disable the logfiles for all the dashboards? I just want to disable it for one dashbord

This is not what I want to do.... just want to do this for a single dashboard

What will this command do Anil? qv.exe -r Path.qvw

Open the file or disable the logfile?

Stefan,

If need to update this XML where it is available on the project (Prj) or where.

NO settings.ini is harmfull it effects other QVW as well.

Are you running the application from QEMC or through batch?

Re: Enable/Disable Logfile without opening qvw

sunny_talwar — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:46:01 GMT

QEMC

Re: Enable/Disable Logfile without opening qvw

Anil_Babu_Samineni — Wed, 13 Sep 2017 13:46:16 GMT

It runs the application but it generates Logfile if we enable either from globally under console or document file.. But, I realize this may won't help..

Seems to be within DocProperties

In theory this worked, I just have to decide if I want to do this or just stick to no data option.

Thanks Stefan and everyone
