Environment

  • QlikView all versions

Resolution

This can happen if there is an issue accessing files on the source documents folder.
There might be several reasons for this:

  1. Verify that antivirus exclusions are in place. This is the most common root cause for file access issues.
  2. Verify that no other process is locking files in the path
  3. Confirm that the path is on Windows folder share (NAS are not supported)
  4. Make sure that the disk is able to handle the load, see resolution 2 in this article for more info. DiskSpeed
  5. Make sure that there are no network latencies (like having the source path fileserver on a different network or geographical location)

For general information on how to optimize the publisher see.
