Command Line: Open with Bookmark?

Hi,

I was wondering if I can open a QlikView document with a specific bookmark from the command line.

I know I can set a Bookmark on Open from "Document Properties > Trigger > On Open"; however, I want to open the file with a different bookmark every time.

Is there a way of doing that?

After looking through the manual, on the Command Line Syntax I couldn't find anything.

All the commands that I found are:

          /r     /rp     /l     /lp     /v     /nodata     /NoSecurity

Is there any way of selecting which bookmark will be loaded on open?

Thank you for your help.

Kind Regards

You can pass a variable value with the /v option. You can use this to set a variable vBookMark to a value of a bookmark id and make the Apply Bookmark action use this variable.

C:\Users\me>"C:\Program Files\Qlikview\Qv.exe" /vvBookMark=BM03 D:\QVdata\MyDocument.qvw
