Best practice, or 'safe' maximum for generating QVD files?

Hi,

I have a QlikView document which is being used to generate several QVD files – the QVD files are then used as data sources for further QVW files.  I plan to schedule the QVD generator to run each night, so that dashboards will always have up to date data files.

Is there any limit - or any recommended safe maximum – to the number of tabs I can have in my QVD generator document?  The document currently generates around 15 QVD files – can I continue adding tabs (one tab per QVD file) or will this break QlikView?  I don’t want to end up causing the file to become corrupt because it’s got too much stuff in it.

Please can you advise?

Hello awhitfield,

never heard about any restriction. We are generating several dozens of qvd-files per single load. If you need a new tab for every qvd? In my oppion this will be confusing.

Only one thing to mention: Don't forget to drop the according table directly after the store()-command to keep your qvd-generator app small and fast.
