We are seeing lots of instances of this error message in our server log files:
SE_LOG: Shared - CreateMetaData: Object ID already exists in document E:\QLIKVIEW DOCUMENTS\PUBLISHED\[folder name]\SALES FORECAST.QVW.Shared. Info: Id(SH03-162), Type(MetaData), User()
It happens for a number of different documents, but not all of them. It doesn't happen at all on the Development Server, which hosts the same documents.
Is anyone else seeing this error? More importantly, does anyone know how to stop it occurring?
I had the same server error in the Gov. Dashboard and found out the following Situation:
1. I'm Admin and Developer and I added in the past in former times one new sheet on the Access Point for demo using.
2. Later (a few days ago) I want to make the QVW more safe and disallowed the Setting in the QVW on the security tab, to create new Sheets.
3. In the QMC I found the name of the sheet object (the same out of the error message in Gov.Dashboard). And embarrassing for me, I found my Name for the owners Name 🙂
4. First of all I made a backup of the QVW, Shared, meta and PGO files.
5. To check/ delete this sheet (I don't need it) I showed all Tabs and stored the QVW.
6. On Access Point, now I saw the additional sheet (because it's my own) and this had the correct sheet Name (Info: Id(SH01-91), Type(MetaData), User()) out of the error message.
7. I deleted this sheet as the owner and Access Point user direct on the Access Point.
8. In QVW Options, I hide the Tabs again and stored the QVW.
9. I expect that this error disappear in the future.
