If you have QlikView Server without Publisher, I suspect it's possible to change the name of your reload tasks.
I've done this successfully so far and have not seen any negative impacts. Not sure if anyone sees a problem with this...?
QlikView Server 11.2 SR5 was used.
The main reason for this was to be able to see which tasks are for which documents in QMC.
If you have the same qvw name in different folders, then in QMC - Status - Tasks, it will look like this:
Reload of Finance.qvw
Reload of Finance.qvw
Reload of Finance.qvw
Being able to change the task name will allow you clarify which app in which folder will be reloaded:
Reload of Region1\Finance.qvw
Reload of Region2\Finance.qvw
Reload of Region3\Finance.qvw
This should not be a problem for most sites, because you should not give QlikView apps, in different folders, the same file name.
Hi,
Is that your workaround??

Hi
If you have Publisher installed in addition (and thus DistributionService running),
you can change the task names in all XML-taskfiles in "C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Tasks" with this .vbs file:
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFldr = fso.GetFolder("C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Tasks\")
old_taskname = "<your old taskname>"
new_taskname = "<your new taskname>"
for each ofile in oFldr.Files
filename = "C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\DistributionService\Tasks\" & ofile.Name
if (fso.GetFile(filename).size <> 0 and instr(1,filename,".xml") >= 1) then
Set tf=fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 1)
ts=tf.ReadAll
tf.close
Set tf=fso.OpenTextFile(filename, 2)
tf.Write replace(ts, old_taskname, new_taskname)
tf.close
Set tf = Nothing
end if
next
Set fso = Nothing
Set objFile = Nothing
Before executing the file, stop all QlikView Services first as mentioned above.
