Macro folder with a server

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:07:28 GMT

Hello All,

I am new to QlikView and am trying to develop some script. I would greatly appreciate any help!

My problem is this: I want to Set locations for the QlikView data so it's easy to change

SET QVFOLDER = C:\Documents and Settings\off_my_desktop\;

I want to put it on a server using my Y drive.

I tried:

SET QVFOLDER= Y:\\Server_name\file_1\file_2\;

but it didn't work.

How should I label the QVFOLDER so it will put the files from the server instead of from my desktop?

Thank you for the help.

Hi,

Use only ..\\Server_Name\File1

Mr. Solanki,

Thank you for replying. I still received an error (below)

"The network name cannot be found."

Could you please advise me further?

Thank you,

Hi,

Use IP Address instead of Server Name.

Can you give som more information?

Are using the folder in a macro where you export files to?

Does it work in developer but not client side, ie Plugin or Ajax.

It ended up being a permissions issue. Solved now. Thanks all!
