Folder Paths using Variables

Hi All

We have just upgraded to the new QV 11 and server.

I am having an issue with one model that is failing on the new server due to new folder structure and server name.

Path on Old Sever: \\ba-batqlv001\d$\QlikViewDataModels\VIPRestrictedModels\VIPQVD\

The same folder path on our new server is as follows:

Server Name: BATJHBQLDZWN001

Folder path: D:\QlikView\QVDeploy\VIPRestrictedModels

How can I change the variable with the new path successfully?

Hi ,

try this >>>>

Ex :

LET vPath='C:\Users\Nagarjuna\Downloads';

LOAD PK_TRANSACTION,

     [Trans Start DateTime],

     [Trans End DateTime]

FROM

[$(vPath)\Transactions.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is trans);

Let me know If it works or not....

Hi Jagan

I have tried that and it fails.

Cannot open file '\\BATJHBQLDZWN001\d$\QlikView\QVDeploy\VIPRestrictedModels\VIPQVD\

VIP_LEAVE.QVD' The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

Hi,

Check whether you have access to this path?

OR

share the Qlikview drive in that machine and use the below path

\\BATJHBQLDZWN001\QlikView\QVDeploy\VIPRestrictedModels\
