PGO Files

Does someone know any way to parse the pgo files into a qlikview? Thanks

It's all relative to what path the documents that's "stealing" your CALs are having. If they are supposedly located (before moved) in the root, that's where the dummy documents must be for the CALs to be manually released by you. Then you remove these dummy documents.

The reason why you can't remove the CAL assignments is that there is no underlying documents. If there are underlying documents (dummy documents) you can delete the assignments.

It probably looks like this for you:

NewRoot

> OldRoot

>> Document1.qvw

>> Document2.qvw

Now, your new documents has a "fully qualified path" that's "\OldRoot\Document1.qvw" and "\OldRoot\Document2.qvw". The "ghost" CAL assignments are tagged to the document with path "\Document1.qvw" and "\Document2.qvw". For you to remove these CAL assignments, you need to have "\Document1.qvw" and "\Document2.qvw" for them to "attach" and show up in the QMC, so you can remove the assignments.

I tried to follow your instructions:

I copied a model of one of the clients and placed it in the root folder.

I now have in the document list, at the root level:

ClientBI.qvw

CLIENTBI.QVW

CLIENTBI.QVW

the ClientBI.qvw is the newly placed file, and i don't see the Document CAL's tab for this file.

I still can't make any changes to the CLIENTBI.QVW documents.

So, then the path to the document is not correct.

I really don't remember when the PgoAsXmlAlso was implemented, what Service Release of 10 are you on? The setting is also not present as default, but must be added manually in Settings.ini for the server (QVS restart required for .ini to be released), under the Settings7 node.

Then the shadow XML files will appear in the ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer folder (if I remember correctly). In those files, you can clearly see the assignments and their paths.

Finaly had to stop services, delete all PGO files, restart services and reassign CAL's.

Nothing else worked.

But thanks for trying to help.

Sorry that you felt that you had to do that. I've solved many similar cases like this without having to remove PGOs.

Tried to set back the root folder to its old path, and to remove CAL's from the documents and shdow copies, still couldn't remove the CAL's from shadow copy.

Maybe it has to do with the server being QV10 on top of a removed QV11, maybe something went wrong during uninstall\install.

Nevermind, at least i have it working fine now

Inside the Settings.ini has the DocumentDirectory = PATH parameter, where PATH is the location where the xml is created.


[Settings 7]

PGOAsXmlAlso=1

DocumentDirectory = PATH

Don't change the document path in the settings.ini. This is the "Root Folder" in the QMC....
