CMD. Log file

MindaugasBacius — Fri, 20 Nov 2020 18:02:30 GMT

Hello,

I have written the .cmd file which runs and saves the Qlikview application.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\QlikView\Qv.exe" /R "C:\Users\Mindaugasb\Desktop\Temperature.qvw"

But I am willing to get the log file as well.

What is command to accomplish this?

Thank you!

if you want a dos log maybe a batch file with

DATE /T >A.LOG

cmd.exe /c >>A.LOG ""C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /R "C:\Users\mgrossi\Downloads\a cmd.qvw""

DATE /T >>A.LOG

if you want the QlikView document log enable in

Menù --> Settings --> Document Properties --> General --> Generate Logfile

Hi,

In the .qvw: Settings > Document Settings - check the 'Generate Logfile' checkbox, a log file will now be created in the same folder as the .qvw.

You can also set server logging via teh Mgmt Console: Qlikview Server Settings > Logging.

You will find the reload logs under following folder.

If you have Windows Server 2003

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\DistributionService\

If you have Widows Server 2008

C:\Programdata\QlikTech\DistributionService\

hope this helps,

Hirish

It's not perfectly what I am looking for.

I want to get the log file only when I do reload the application by using .cmd file. Now it seems that the log file appears even when the application is reloaded manually.

Thank you!

Could you make my clear what needs to be added to my batch file?

Now the .cmd file contain this line:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\QlikView\Qv.exe" /R "C:\Users\Mindaugasb\Desktop\Temperature.qvw"

It reloads and saves the script. Additionally, I want to get the log file but only when executing the .cmd file.

Thanks.

Hi,

Just enable the "Generate Logfile " check box in the application document properties General tab.So that for every application reload a log file will get generated automatically!!

DOS log and QlikView logfile are different.

In the batch you can add a DOS log (start date of the batch, end date, etc, .....) but you can't enable/disable the logfile of QlikView script.

In QlikView menu you can enable/disable the QlikView logfile.

AFAIK you can only enable/disable the QlikView logfile with the flag in the menu of QlikView, so always enabled or always disabled until the next change in Qlik menu.

Hi,

You can see the log file for every reload You made over here,probably in

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\DistributionService\2\Log

there is a folder with a datestamp and in that there is one folder for every single reload of that day where you can still find your logs.

HTH,

In QV server, I have seen a practice when the log is called straight from .cmd info the folder the user sets.

The command line looks like this:

"c:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service\QVDistributionService.exe" -r="c:\QVD\Axapta.qvw" -out="c:\log\Axapta.log"

This line in the .cmd file works great in the server but not in the computer.

Actually, I do not understand the difference between /R and -r= in the script. But in my computer -r command do not work, /R works as a charm. -out also do not work in my computer and I am looking how to call this function.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

Indeed, that's what will happen and what Massimo already explained in his second post. The log file generation is controlled by a switch in the QVW document. You cannot enable/disable that setting at random from outside the document.

Best,

Peter

Okei. I understood that.

Now it by default appears in the same directory as QV application.

In case I want to change the log file directory. Let's say to save all logs in C:\logs\.

How should I change my .cmd query?

Now the batch file contains:

"c:\Program Files\QlikView\Distribution Service\QVDistributionService.exe" /R "c:\QVD\Axapta.qvw"
