QlikView: Variable definition disappears after reload and distribution

[Nao_Baba]

A variable definition (which is created in qvw document under Setting -> Variable Overview -> Add) disappears after distribution. This behavior is working as designed. During reload and distribution the document is opened without data - for optimization reasons. During that time variables defined in the document are not available.

Conditions:

• Variables are defined in documents. (under Settings -> Variable Overviews -> Add)
• [+] checkbox is checked.

 

Workaround One

Create and define a variable in the script, not in the document.

e.g. 

SET Variable1=today();

Workaround Two

Uncheck [+] checkbox in the Variable Overview.

1. Navigate to Settings -> Variable Overview...
   
   
   
   
2. Uncheck [+] from the checkbox.
