QlikView AccessPoint shows No Server, DNS resolution fails

[Sonja_Bauernfeind]

Symptoms:

• Users receive a message "No Server" when they attempt to open the Access Point
• QlikView Server Service is running in Windows service console
• QlikView Server Service is disconnected in QlikView Management Console
• A restart of QlikView Server service may resolve the problem but the problem may repeat randomly, i.e. once a month.
• DNS resolution of hostname indicates DNS resolution issues.

Environment:

• QlikView  

DNS or Security related issues in the network environment may prevent name resolution and the use of hostname in QlikView Server.

Resolution:

To resolve the issue use IP address instead of hostname in QlikView Management Console.
