Hi @narayanaqlik,

Typically the error you are referring to - Error: Unexpected token: '(', expected one of: ',', ':', 'OPERATOR_PLUS', 'OPERATOR_MINUS', 'OPERATOR_MULTIPLICATION', 'OPERATOR_DIVISION', 'OPERATOR_STRING_CONCAT', is returned when the script mode BNF (Backus-Naur Formalism) isn't met correctly. See the QlikView Help entry What is Backus-Naur Formalism? for more details. Also review Qlik Support articles QlikView Document with Macros Fails to Reload in QlikView Server with error and QlikView Document with Macros Fails to Reload in QlikView Server with error. Ignore the portions of the articles which discuss disabling BNF as that is not possible in QV versions after 12.20, and instead focus on re-writing the script so that it comports with the BNF mode.

Best Regards

Thanks Britt for raising the support ticket,

Yes, it was the good thing to introduce in qlikview 12.7 to convert qliview file to .qvf but better to make sure to support qmc as well

Could i get the relevant/ solution for the same

Could we expect What are the steps need to follow to resolve that.

Thanks Chip for your quick response/ reply.

Manual reload was successful.  when we are scheduling a task and make it run as for schedule it through the error

Hi @narayanaqlik,

Did you review article QlikView Document with Macros Fails to Reload in QlikView Server with error, which states that a manual reload in QlikView Desktop can be successful but errors when run as a scheduled Publisher task? Based on the error you provided, I believe the path forward is to review the load script to make sure it conforms with BNF.

Best Regards

Hello @narayanaqlik ,

I do agree with @Chip_Matejowsky , plus was this working with a previous version or is a new document  you have created on version 12.70?

Kindly remember in some older versions BNF was not enforced or could be bypass adding the appropriate comments on the script or server wide, but not anymore with the newer versions.

Cheers,

Albert
