qvd files disappear when script execution completes

Wed, 29 Dec 2010 20:10:38 GMT

QlikView version 10. I am trying to write qvd files from an Access database. The files load properly, and all the fields are visible in QlikView. I can open a Windows Explorer window to the qvd folder, and when the script gets to the store xxx into xxx.qvd; line, the file appears in the directory. As soon as the script execution completes, the qvd files disappear from the qvd directory. The directory is on the C:\ drive of the computer executing QlikView.

Is there a setting in the User Preferences or in the Document Settings that can cause this to happen?

Thanks.

Earl,

I have the same thing happening - did you ever figure out what was causing the problem?

Thanks,

Stacy

Cannot imagine that these operations happens.

Even if you create a file with no values in it, it still has some overhead info and titles etc. At least you should expect a file with some 25K content.

Suggest to write a

EXIT SCRIPT;

right after the STORE-command.

And check, whether the file still disappears.

Are you creating these using the buffer prefix or explicitly using a STORE statement? If the prior, check the manual for Keep Orphaned QVD Buffers.

I'm explicitly using a STORE statement. Any suggestions?

Now it's not happening (I hate intermittent issues!), and I've opened a tech

support case with QlikView. If we ever identify what causes the problem,

I'll certainly update QlikCommunity!

It appears that something may have been going on with the network and/or server - we saw some errors in the event logs. I do not think it was a QlikView issue.
