All, has anyone got a VBS script to run through an external command?
I have a VBS file that I want to run through QMC under the external programs, yet it always returns this inst a valid win32 file.
I have tried creating a BAT file that is called up that than opens up the VBS file, but that apears to not work as it just runs without ever finishing
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yes, I run them like this
cscript myfile.vbs
No problems.

Rob, now im starting to wonder if its my script. If i run the VBS on my own, t works fine. If i use QMC, it just runs and never finishes or at least says it finished
serverPath = "\\test\Fin"
set Qv = CreateObject("QlikTech.QlikView")
Set docObj = Qv.OpenDocEx (serverPath & "James.qvw",0,false)
docobj.Reload
docObj.CloseDoc
Qv.Quit
Any ideas
is the script running with the same user as you do?
It might be that you dont, and when Qv will ask the "script-user" for licence key info, hence the script will never finish.
Im not follwing? What do you mean by license key info and script
Its the publisher job
Ok, its publisher that runs the job (i guess that Publisher has no problem running other "non vbs" tasks, like a reload of the James.qvw file.).
What i meant was that if you had some sort of vbs triggered by a control on a webpage the vbs script will mostly be run by the netservice account (or what ever the heck it's called :). And this user has most likely not been using Qlikview. So, when a user opens qlikview first time he is given the choise of running as analyzer, evaluation or enter license key.
I think Blaise is right on the money. Easy way to check is to log on to the machine using the account you use to run the QV services and start QlikView manually to see if you get stuck on the registration popup that appears the first time running the standalone.
