QV 12 Nov SR3 - no live logs in QMC?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We've upgraded from 11.20 to the newest rel. Nov SR3. Noticed that a running job from QMC will not create a document log until the task is finished or failed. Can someone confirm that? Also check the screenshot: You'll see that the log entry is before the file is created, therefore I assume that it's written in a temporary folder first and then copied...?

This is a new QV12 feature that is widely documented in the community.

For various reasons (mostly performance-related) QV12 writes the live logs to a central directory C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch. Only when the script terminates (success or failure doesn't matter) will the logs be copied to their final destination(s).

You can even disable this behavior. See Rob's explanation here: Re: In Qlikview 12 SR7 , it does not generate logs during reloading of the qvw .

Thanks!

Tried to search for it but couldn't found the topic - guess I used the wrong search tags 😕
