If copy the same qvw file and its working fine but the source file shows this alert box while performs reload and also in QMC it shows error as The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

I have checked this file was not opened in any other location.

Regards,

I have tried this method if i create as new qvw file its working fine. There is any other solution to recover the source qvw file.

Is there any difference between the source file and a copy of that file? I mean, apart from the fact that the source file generates an error when trying to save?

No difference between source file and copy file.

For example:

Source file name: abc.qvw

Copy file name: abc-copy.qvw

just file name was different after reloading it shows alert box error

S you are able to recover the original and store it under a different name. I'm assuming that your statement "its working fine" means that you are able to reload the copy without any problems.


The source file is also being used by the QlikView Server, isn'it? Did you check whether some other process is keeping a lock on your source file? Are there any stray QVB processes still active on your server?

Did you try to delete the original and rename the copy to the original file name? The latter shouldn't present any problems because you confirmed that the two files are identical. If some other process is keeping the file locked, a delete will most likely fail.
