Returning hardware parameters to QV project

[peter_turner]

Hello Everyone,

I'd like to find the amount of free RAM on my server, and return this to my QV project as a variable from the script.
I've had a look in the manual and did'nt see anything about hardware parameters.

Whats the best way todo this sort of thing? if at all?

Thanks,
Peter.

Peter,

as far as I know, QlikView doesn't have a built-in function for that. You can develop a VBScript function and get the amount of ram from the system, and then call your VBScript function from the QlikView script. The following URL provides a somewhat relevant example with the VBScript syntax:

Hello Oleg,

Thanks for the info.
I've not used vbs from the script before, how would i pass the value from the vbs into my var?

Thanks,
Peter.
