some suggestions

does the task started?

does the batch work (when no scheduled)?

enable the log in your dashboard (settings --> document properties --> general --> generate logfile) and see if there is a log

post your batch

echo off

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /R "C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\SourceDocuments\c2_livetrack_internal\qvw\c2_livetrack_internal.qvw"

Hi maxgro,

this is a batch file....if generate logfile is unchecked in the document settings then it will not work??

Generate logfile will not affect the schedule. The command looks OK, assuming the paths are correct. Does the batch file perform the reload if you execute it directly from a Cmd window?

Just a general question, why would you use a scheduled task instead of letting Qlikview handle the reloading schedule?

I assume you mean using QV Server or Publisher? If so, I would use these instead of a bat file:

  • You do not need a licensed user name or use up another license for a service account.
  • Server/Publisher will use the server more efficiently than using foreground .bat tasks.

If you don't have QVS or QVP, then the bat file is the only way to go.

Thanks. I was trying to understand why guys would actually use batch files, probably the way to go if you do not have Server or Publisher.
