Reload a QV Application with another QV application

Hi everyone,

I've checked the forum but i can't find a good answer for my question.

I've got a QV application like a big menu where you can launch several QV applications by selecting the application on a list box and by clicking on a button. I've used a standard action on the button, "Open QlikView Document" but the data don't seems to be resfresh on the opening of the application. Is there a way to refresh the data on the opening ? (all my QV applications are on a server)

By 'refresh', do you mean you want the reload script to run? That seems like a fairly inefficient design. You're suggesting that every time anyone opens a document from your menu document, that the entire reload script should run.

You mention that your documents are on a 'server' do you mean a QlikView Server? Or just on a server file system somewhere? If they're on a Qlikview server, you can just schedule your data refreshes so they run in the background, and not impact your user experience.

Can you explain your arcitecture, and your requirements a bit better? What you're suggesting doesn't sound like a great solution.

Thanks for your reply.

Yes by "refresh" i mean reload the script. In order for you to understand my problem i'll explain the architecture. In one hand, we've got several non QV applications where some Users can create or modify entries in a database. On the other hand we've got small QV applications based on this database. The database is often update so the applications can't be update as often as the database.

In order to provide the lastest data to our users we offer two possibilities.

- Open a QV application without reloading the script. In this case the data are dated from yesterday evening (schedule on the server).

- Open a QV application with a reload. In this case the data will be up-to-date.

The second possibility isn't create yet but we wanna try this solution so i want to know if it's possible with a button in a QV application. If it's not, i know that i can launch a batch program to reload and open a QV application.

If you think about another solution i'm open 🙂
