Upgrading to April 2019: On Post Reload Macros no longer work?

[richardouellett]

Hi

I skipped a few updates on my QV Server and Desktop yesterday and discovered after reading the upgrade notes that disabling BNF with ///$bnf off at the top of my script is no longer a solution.  As a result of this update my post reload macros no longer work.  Spending several hours on the Qlik blogs and Google I did not see any solutions to using macros with QlikView for 2018 and newer versions.  On an interim basis I switched back to an earlier desktop version that honored the ///$bnf  script workaround in order to produce my macro generated daily management reports.

Has Qlik essentially abandoned post reload macro support with their strict adoption of BNF compliance?  If not, can you direct me to some resources  and/or workarounds that can advise me on script and macro edits that are now needed to comply with the BNF standard?

Thanks so much!

Rick, here is the direct link to the OCX SDK, which is a QVW file, please note that some APIs will only run client-side, they will not function when run server-side, so keep that in mind when developing with these.
