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.

Hope that helps,

Hi,

Make this setting in your application.

Settings-> Document Properties -> General Tab-> Check "Generate LogFiles"

Click ok.

Now the log file will be generated at the same folder where you have the application.

Hi,

Select Normal Logging - in case you want just the overview of what has happen.

Select Debug Logging - in case you want detail level of log.

The path to the log file is on the QlikView Server Settings page.

E.g.,

Log Folder Path: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\QVS

Dear all,

Log file is been generated, now i want to the log file to be generated with new date and time with every reload.

Ex: My application asABC.qvw when reloads in 2.00 pm it generates log file as ABC.log at 2.00 pm,

when the same application reloads again at 3.00 pm it generates again a log file which overwrites the older one,

but i dont want my log file to be overwritten instead while again reloading it should generate a new log file.

Please suggest.

Hi Kaushik,

Could you please let me know, how do I enable this Logging in QlikView Server Settings. I am using QlikView Personal Edition and I don't find any such option available. Can't I see the "Debug Logging" in Personal Edition as I wish to see the detailed level information of log.

Thanks & Regards,

Aaspruha

Hi Aaspruha,

Debug logging is possible only when you have server. This setting is not available on QlikView Desktop.

Hi,

The discussions have been really helpful.

I have a question and would really appreciate if someone could help me with it. So in my company we have multiple instances of developers who logon to our Qlikview Development server so that they have their own instances and do their work separately. Now for all those users we have manually check the log file setting (Settings > Document Settings - check the 'Generate Logfile' checkbox). Is there anyway to make (log file generation for every user) it a default setting for every user. I know its a one time task but its just sometimes hard to remember that one point and make the required changes.

Would really appreciate the help.
