Check the logs, either at the QMC level or (more likely) at the specific QVW level. You may need to manually turn on the logging option in your QVWs.

Hi @kumarbala,

To troubleshoot QDS reload/distribution tasks you'll want to start by reviewing the task log of the task.  By default, the task logs are stored in %ProgramData%\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log\DateOfTask\NameOfTask (if you have a clustered QDS Publisher, there will be a 1, 2, etc. directories depending upon the number of clustered QDSs).  If you have configured the QDS Application Data Folder in a different folder, you can check the location by looking in the QMC > System > Setup > Distribution Services > QDS@ > General tab.

Review and compare a normal task to a long running task and check for disparities.  It could be that a long running task has to wait for an available QVB engine, or some other process. 

Post back if you have further questions
