Long opening of script editor

[retko1985]

Hello,

When I first open the Qlikview document, and press ctrl+e it starts loading, like 5-10 seconds till it opens the script editor.

When I reload and open script editor again, it is much faster.

When I use many Qlikview documents, this delay starts to be quite an nuisance.

Can someone help me troubleshoot this?

Thank you.

Do you have a lot of script function (call sample_function etc.) or VBA macros used in script? please check your hidden script and included files to be 100% sure.

I have also seen a similar issue after updating from QV11.2 to QlikView 12.... Opening script has drastically slow down, but I have gotten used to it. Don't know what is causing it, but it def. take few seconds after opening a new qv tab to open the script, the subsequently it opens quick.

This happens with new QVW document, with no script.

It happens in QV11.20 as well. In most cases, the excessive delay when first opening the Script Editor in a particular document is caused by the different installed Connectors initializing. Some may even start to spew error messages (older ones that don't work reliably anymore) but only the connector will/may crash, not the script editor.

Not sure what you can do about that, except uninstalling Connectors

Likewise. I just learned to live with it..

When you say connectors, is that something which comes with the QlikView installation file (essentially built into the program)? Cause I don't think I have installed anything new with my QV12?

[Peter_Cammaert]

Well, occasionally and in certain QlikView environments I have quite a lot of Connectors installed. Both default connectors and optional connectors that I either installed using an installer, or just by copying them in a specific location. The delays in QV11.20 only become annoying when using more connectors that the default set.

I thought it was the same in QV12, but your experience seems to negate this.

And also this: Bug QV-10133: QlikView 12.10 SR3 Script Editor opens very slow. Was fast in QV11.20

The phenomenon has been assigned a Bug ID in March of this year. Not sure if it features high on the Qlik bugfix priority list...

[Peter_Cammaert]

From the release notes, I can deduct that bug 10133 has not been fixed yet in any later 12.10 release. 12.20 release notes don't contain any details about fixes. We'll have to be patient, I guess...

[sunny_talwar]

Yup patience is probably what is needed here, besides I have gotten used to it now
