Section Access and auto reload

[ninnartx]

Hi everyone,

I have a qlikview file on a standalone laptop that is automatically reloaded everyday by a batch file and windows scheduler.

If I want to add section access to it (username and password), my understanding is that the automatic reload by windows scheduler will not work anymore. Can someone confirm this? and would you be so kind as to provide a workaround? Would using NT name work if we allow users to open the file from a shared folder on their own laptop?

Thanks in advance!

Hi.

I had this issue some time ago... It won't work (in Qlikview Server it will, because it has a proper section for that). Anyway, what I suggest is, instead of using section access, to hide your script in hidden script.

Cheers,

Ines

Hi Ninnart,

NTNAME should resolve this for you as long as the user is authenticated. If the user is on a domain, use \\domain\username, otherwise if they are just authenticated locally use \\machine\username.

If you are running the reload using a particular service account make sure that that user is added in to section access also though!
