There is a warning message that didn't appear before.

I don't know why.

HI,

To start, it is best to put of the whole log and not a screen capture. If need be you can change the server name in the logs.

This warning means that when the QVB tried to closed the document it wasn't able to, so it had to force close it.

The reason for this issue is that the document could not be closed within QlikView Distribution Service default timeout (16 seconds). After timeout is reached the QVB.EXE process is terminated and the distribution task fails. 

This can be solved by modifying the QlikView Distribution Service timeout. 

1. Stop QlikView Distribution Service
2. Modify QlikView Distribution Service configuration file, C:/Program Files/QlikView/Distribution Service/QVDistributionService.exe.config
3. Add the line below in the <appSettings>....</appSettings> section <add key="SecondsToWaitBeforeQVBKill" value="60"/>
4. Note, the value 60 defines the number of seconds before timeout.
5. Start QlikView Distribution Service

Why can't I close the document within the QlikView Distribution Service default timeout period?

SecondsToWaitBeforeQVBKill is set to 80 because I modified it in the past.
But I keep getting this error.

What should I do?

Please answer.

Hi,

If the system is busy, you might try a higher value.

[qwebnm]

How high can I set it?

Hi @qwebnm,

It can be set to a large enough value to allow for task to run successfully. You may need to experiment with the setting until you find the appropriate value.

Best Regards
