Hi Wood,

Few questions to start with:

  • why are you using local connection?
  • how is your QVW file reloaded?
  • Is it possible to use QVP (preferred connection)
  • What do you mean "these data does not refresh" - do you mean data in your NPrinting report?
    • Does data in your QVW refresh? What triggers it?

answer above questions and we will take it from there.

cheers

Yes - you can use QVP connection even if you have NP and QV installed on the same box. Using QVP will solve your issues.

There is A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION on community how to establish QVP connection and how to troubleshoot it.

try it - and then let us know how it goes.

With the upcoming release this month, you will be able to make the metadata reload a scheduled job. So you ca run the refresh prior to any reports that you run, ensuring that you have refreshed data in the report.

This will work for local QVW connections and others.

does that mean that the local qvw itself will be reloaded?

No - it does not.

Just to clarify... there are two different things going on: (1) Reloading the qlikview document itself (through reload tasks in QMC) (2) reloading the metadata when a qlikview document contains new data (after the qvw has reloaded).

So, in July 2017 release, will Nprinting have an option to reload the local connections metadata on a regular basis? And will this option be available in QMC or through Nprinting Admin? And if it available through Nprinting Admin, how could one coordinate the reload of the qvw with the reload of metadata?

1 - reload qlikview document - this is not available

2 - July release is out - try it. It has a "TRIGGER" property on generate metadata task. It is controlled in NPrinting ADMIN console. I do not see any reason to coordinate reload of qvw with metadata reload. Metadata reload should be done only if you have new object (table, field, chart etc in your qlik app), otherwise you do not have to do re-generate metadata. New values in you QLik app after reload will flow through to NPrinting even without re-generating metadata cache.
