QV Designer file name issue

[sangland2]

Hi, I have discovered an issue where a qvw model has been modified on a separate test server and then deployed to the production QV server folder with the same name. The changes are apparent in the browser from the access point. In the designer on the production server the changes are not apparent. If I rename the qvw file and open it in the designer then the changes are there. It's like I opened the old version of the model. I stopped all QV services to check if some QV cache was not updated and still had the problem. Ha anyone encountered anything like this. I now don't trust my deployment method. Thanks

Have a look on the feature of session recovery. Within the access point you could click on "View Details" by an app and there "Remove last document state" and the app should be opened like they was stored.

Issue with QlikView server Mount points? Although the post appears to contain some contradictions... Do you have a Publisher and you put the updated document straight into the User Documents folder?

Thanks, but the browser is correct showing the latest saved changes. It is the designer that does not show them.

Thanks for your reply. Not using publisher. Copied the qwv from development server to production server into the folder used by the access point. The QV production server and the QV Development/Test server are on separate servers with separate licenses. This is a new set up. Previously I would have developed a qvw having leased a license form the production server.

If I rename files then my problem does away, but doing so going to be tedious. Is it the case that you should only develop leasing a license from the server you intend to deploy on ?

Are you using prj-folders?

Still very weird.

If you're not using a Publisher, check if you have

• mount points in addition to your document root that contain copies of the published document, or
• the document root has subdirectories in which you keep other copies of the published document (shouldn't do that)

To start off, you can do a search of the disk(s) of the QlikView server for files that have the same name as your published document.

Best,

Peter

Hi, the document root only contains the live qvw file , not other versions. However there is a project folder subdirectory by the same name <model name>-prj. I have removed this project folder and now the changed document opens in the designer as expected. Thank you so much, Marcus in particular. I'd forgotten I'd created a project for the model.

So the project contains the last instance of the designed report. The designer opens this regardless of the file you select when a project exists in a subdirectory to where your file is. Strictly speaking that's good version control, but a warning would have been nice.
