Hi
I applied external action called 'Reload' for a button object in order to reload the qlik application when user clicks on Button thru Access point, but no action is been performed thru Access point from browser when I copied the document (qvw) in Access point folder.
When I open the qvw file in Qlikview app then it is reloading the application when I click on button object but same is not being worked in Access point(IE/Mozilla browser).
Appreciate the quick response.Thanks!.

This action won't work in server, but maybe have a look at
Here is an EDX sample using an extension:
Actually, the reason why this Reload button works in QV Desktop and doesn't work in the AccessPoint is simple:
So the reload button in the AccessPoint has no one to talk to. On the other hand, on a server everything related to the reloading and distribution of QVWs on disk is handled by an entirely different process called the QlikView Distribution Service. The QDS has a secret component (another separate application) called QVB.exe that does the reloading and distribution of disk-based QVWs (mind you, not QVWs that are loaded in RAM and that you are seeing in the AccessPoint). The only method to reload a disk-based QVW is to signal the QDS to start a blackbox QVB.exe reload engine and renew the QVW on disk. You can do this by kicking an already defined QDS task into action, and that is exactly how the EDX mechanism works.

Thanks Peter for detail information and also will you let me know the detail steps to make how to invoke the distribution service process/EDX to reload the correspoanding .qvw from a button object.
Thanks,
Mahi
