Execute command in the script requires System Access...

[#1]

Hi,

I use the following command in the script: Execute cmd.exe /C Move_Winners.cmd

In addition, I checked in the Setting Tab (also in the script window) "Can Execute External Programs"

Also, in the the Setting --> User Preferences --> Security tab I checked the "Script (Allow Database Write and Execute Statement)"

When I run afterwards the document it runs OK.

But after a while, when i try to run the document again, the Checkbox of "Script (Allow Database Write and Execute Statement)" is unchecked by itself (the same one I Checked it before!), and we get the following pop-up message: "The script in this document requires system access to work....", and only after I manually press a button says "Give System Access", the Document continues to run

Why is that? I can't figure out how the "Script (Allow Database Write and Execute Statement)" checkbox "forgets" its setting...

Thanks,

Guy

I'm not sure my response will help...  Anyway...

As you properly described, this property is in User settings.  That means, it is not a Document setting, hence it is not stored in QV application.  If you copy the same application onto a different machine or login into the same machine as a different user - the modified User settings are not there.  You get the default setings.

If the machine is the same and you login as the same user - I don't have answer.

So how can I check the checkbox "Script (Allow Database Write and Execute Statement)" as a defualt to be valid for all the documents in the BI server ?

Thanks,

Well, I was talking about the QV Desktop, not the server.

So, for the Desktop, the User settings are valid for all documents - for the current User on this machine.

As for the QlikView Server - I can't tell for sure where the settings are.  Try to post your question on the "Deployment and Management".
