topic "File has been modified..." message in QlikView

"File has been modified..." message

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:28:01 GMT

Does anyone know how QlikView check if the document has been modified?

I would know when the message file "has been modified since the last save/open...." appears.

I published QlikVIew Developer in Citrix and every time I save the document the message appears.

Process Monitor (Sysinternals) shows unexpected operations on my file, by the "System" process:
FASTIO_ACQUIRE_FOR_CC_FLUSH
FASTIO_RELEASE_FOR_CC_FLUSH
IRP_MJ_CLOSE

When the message appears, the events have always taken place

Is possible to hide the message and save the file silently?

It means other people are editing same file same time. For good reason, QlikView will refuse to save the file. And Publisher task will fail for same reason.

Thanks, but I'm sure that the document isn't modified by other people. I can try with every document with the same behavior

Hello Stefano,

Is there any chance you are using any version 9 prior to SR6? Then that happened to me, that behaviour disappeared after updating. Actually, if I remember correctly, there were a couple of documented bugs about this.

Try opening that document in a v9 SR6 installation ad see whether that message keeps showing up.

Hope that helps

What kind of file system is used within Citrix ? Is it a networked file system with replication / synchronization / ( bugs ) ?

Thanks for the answer Miguel, yes I'm using the last 9 SR6.

@Alexandru: yes, my file is on a networked file system (a Win file server). But if I use a Win03 server without Citrix, there isn't the message.

Is there any "local disk" in the Citrix? Try opening the QV files from a different disk than the network drive.

Dear Alex

if I move the file to local disk and re try to save there isn't any message.

Why?

Apparently it works in Citrix + local drive. But it does not work in Citrix + network drive. If so, what kind of network drive there is?

Look with SysInternals tools for what processes use the same QVW file. Look for "find handle" based on filename.
