Hi All,

Qlikview Distribution service was unable to start and is failing with following error:

"Windows could not start the Qlikview Distribution Service on Local Computer." Error 1067:The Process terminated unexpectedly."

Before this error , disk space was full and then cleared space and i tried to restart with no success.

Appreciate your help on this.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

Ryan

Have you tried to stop all services and then restart them again?

Is all services installed at same server?

In folder C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log, you'll find log files that are called Root_YYYYMMDD.txt. Open the most recent one and check for any additional messages that document the issue. Or post that log file in this discussion for us to investigate.

Just kill the process on the task manager, clean the disk as mentioned, then start the service again.

Hello All,

Thank you for all your replies.

I tried all possible options

Restarting services, through Cmd prompt too, Component securities,Disk space freed, no details in log file or Event Viewer.

Lastly, have renamed Distribution Service folder name, service got started by creating new folder automatically.

Thanks again.

Ryan.

Hello Aiolos,

Sorry for late reply,

Have created new "DistributionService" folder which holds all Tasks information and XML files(WorkOrder) by renaming old one to some duplicatename "DistributionService_1), then services were restarted.

Thanks,

Ryan

I just wanted to clarify the folder the one user mentioned. This was the Distribution Service Application Data folder, default location is: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService.

There is no harm in recreating this, just FYI, you will lose your task history etc., but if you rename the old folder, you can always add the archived folder to the Governance Dashboard etc. to pull that back in somewhere you can make use of it...

Hope this helps someone in the future. Oh, the most likely issue was a corrupted xml file somewhere, trying to find the culprit is pretty difficult, not sure I have ever been able to do so, but renaming and recreating will generally get you out of the jamb.

Brett

Leopoldo, it would be best if you start a new thread, as we do not know if you actually have the same issue or not. Will need further details from you as well, I really cannot offer much with what you provided currently. I run a little behind on the posts, but I will get to things if nobody else answers for sure. Sorry I do not have anything better for you, but I would be completely guessing at this point given I really am not certain of your situation.

Regards,
Brett
