QV Server - Refresh using batch file

Thu, 14 Jan 2016 19:12:05 GMT

My set up:

- building qv files on local qv personal

- deploying to server file structure

- scheduling of qvw reload using qvm

I'd like to build a batch file to start the reload on the server side. Any recommendations?

I've tried using the .bat calling the "~c:\....qv.exe" /r "document location" but i'm getting a message about the document being associated with a qv personal application associated with another user.

sigh - i'm sure I just set this up incorrectly. Any recommendations?

Just for my understanding, why do you want to start the reload via a batch file on the server, and not using QMC?

What is your use case?

You can use EDX to trigger a reload from a batch file

Using EDX in QlikView 11

or search the QlikView Server reference manual for Batch mode.

I have a scheduling tool that runs using a service account... it runs 60+ scheduled jobs and has decision tree logic built into it (e.g. when task A is successful, run task B, if fails, send email then run task C).

Having all tasks running within 1 tool is ideal.

Your QlikView Desktop on the server does not have a license hence the problem. You'll either add a license or lease a license from the server before the QlikView in the batch job can run the reload.

Thank Kwon. Looks like I'm trying to over complicate this. I'm going to stick with the reloadengine
