How to reload with powershell

Hi,

I would like to reload a qvw with a powershell script. Does any one know how to do this?

No i have: start C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe /r C:\QlikView\AccessPoint\Inkoop.qvw

When i try to run C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe is started but when i add the parameters  i get this error.


PS C:\Users\QlikViewService> C:\Users\QlikViewService\Desktop\Reload.ps1

At C:\Users\QlikViewService\Desktop\Reload.ps1:1 char:1

+ start C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe /r C:\QlikView\AccessPoint\Inkoop.qvw

I found the solution myself. The correct command should be:

Start-Process "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" "/r C:\QlikView\AccessPoint\Inkoop.qvw"

Try to close command with double quote

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe" /r "C:\QlikView\AccessPoint\Inkoop.qvw"
