QlikView Personal Edition not working

joydipp1988 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 18:42:00 GMT

Hi Community,

I'm trying to build an application using QlikView "April 2019 SR3" Personal Edition, version 12.40.20300.0.

After a successful run in the morning, I closed the app. Bt when I'm trying to open the app in the evening, it's showing

"Failed to load" error.

Can anyone guide what's the issue?

Please find the error in the screenshot attached.

Thanks in advance.

Joy

Can anyone please let me know what's happening with QlikView Personal Edition?

I'm developing an app in QlikView personal edition but unable to open the app after closing it.

Thanks,
Joy

Are you able to open any other file?

Please, try the following procedure:
1. Open your QlikView
2. Click on Help > About QlikView
3. Right Click on QlikView Icon (At the bottom left side of the popup page - check the picture below)
4. Find scriptRescue, and set the value to 1, instead of 0.
5. Click on Set
6. Restart your QlikView and try to load your file again.

2nd attempt to solve it:
1. Open your QlikView
2. Click on File
3. Click on Recentely opendocument
4. Right click on qvw
5. Open without Data

Save your file with a new name and try to load it again!

I hope that solves your problem!

I had the same problem as you are facing, and I couldn't solve it!

To answer your question I wrote all the solutions I tried at that time

I'm using a Personal Edition of QlikView also, so I can't open your file, but did you tried to open it on another computer?
If you can, why don't you try to open it on another computer?

I'm sorry for that!

Best I can offer is to review the Help and the limitations:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/April2020/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/QlikView_Personal_Edition.htm

The message would indicate the QVW file has become corrupted. The only thing you could do is try to create prj files and then recreate new app off those:

https://help.qlik.com/en-US/qlikview/April2020/Subsystems/Client/Content/QV_QlikView/QlikView_Project_Files.htm

You may also want to try loading with no data too:

https://support.qlik.com/articles/000003762

About the best I have to try to see if you might be able to get it to open.

Regards,
Brett

Hi Brett,

Thanks for the links. But my situation bit different here.

I was using QV 12, Apr 2019 version and it was working fine. But on May 2020, I installed QlikSense Apr 2020 version in my PC and from then QV stopped working as expected.

As per my knowledge, I can build a full-fledged QV app from scratch in Personal Edition and I can close and reopen it any number of times in the same system.

But the issue with QV I'm facing now is-

1) I'm building an app in Personal Edition
2) The app is working fine until I close it
3) After closing the QV window, if I try to reopen the same app, it's showing the error.

I've recorded one video and uploaded it on YouTube to describe the same. Please find the link below-

Thanks in advance.

I just want to clarify something here, as that was not clear previously, and that is that you are running both Qlik Sense Desktop and QlikView Desktop PE on the same machine? If so, I would suspect this is likely a result of the Qlik Sense Desktop install, but I am not sure why. I have reached out to product management to confirm if they are aware there may be a compatibility issue now with running the two on the same machine, as I know previously things did work from what I recall, although it has been a while since I had both installed on my machine. I would venture you may need to run them on different machines at this point in order to be sure things work as expected. With the release of QlikView April 2020, there is further integration with Qlik Sense, which could be what has triggered things to conflict now I suspect, but I will see what product management has to say.

Regards,
Brett

Hi Brett,

Previously both QV Personal Edition and QS were working fine but after the installation of QS Apr 2020 version, QV stopped working.

I too want to know the root cause of the issue.

Also, if I can't have both in the same machine, please let me know how to setup QV PE as this is much needed right now.

I tried to uninstall both QV PE and QS and re-installed QV, but it seems that's not the process.

Thanks,
Joy

Can you confirm what operating system you are running Sense Desktop upon? One of the guys pointed out to me that it is only supported on Windows 10 now, Server OS is unsupported, so I wanted t check upon that...

That is link to system requirements for Sense Desktop.

Hi Brett,

I'm using Windows 10 Home on my laptop. I think I can brief the issue again.

Previously I installed both QV 12 and QS 2019 on my PC.
Both were working as expected.
But after the installation of QS Apr 2020, the QV 12 stopped working.
Now the QS Desktop Apr 2020 is working fine but it ruined the QV 12 Personal Edition.

So the solutions I'm looking for are-

1) How to get back QV PE fully working as expected. Its fine for me even if I need to remove QS Apr 2020 from my PC.
2) Why QV 12 stopped working after installation of QS Apr 2020.

Hope it's clear now.

Cheers,
Joy

Hello Brett,

I'm using QlikView 12 on a Windows 7 computer.
Would you like me to install QlickSense on the same computer and check if there any interference between both software?

Let me know,

Bye

We no longer support Windows 7, so moot test in that case I am afraid. I need to find time to do a virtual machine and try things to see if I can replicate. Was hoping product management might shout back, but I have not heard anything as yet. Will keep you posted on things. Regarding Windows 7, Microsoft ended support back in January, so we no longer support it, just wanted to clarify that point. Server 2008/R2 is no longer supported either, just FYI.

Brett

So it appears this is most likely something in your user profile or environment, as I just loaded up a Windows 10 Enterprise build 1709 machine and installed QlikView Desktop PE 12.50/April 2020 first and made sure I could create an app, reload it and save and then open and repeat, everything good.

I then installed Sense Desktop April 2020, did not add Patch 1 or 2, which are available, but post install I was able to get to the Hub and create an app using Ctrl-00 to generate script and run the reload and setup a few dimensions and a Table chart with the Expression dimensions in it and everything working fine there too.

I then went back to QlikView Desktop and everything still working just fine, so I am not sure what you have going on, but I am unable to replicate the issue as you have described things at the moment.

Regards,
Brett
