Hi,

You can use an action instead of a macro, go to the button, right click, properties, Actions, External, Launch, set full path to QlikView executable (qv.exe search for it in your Program Files folder) and set parameter as

/r C:\FullPath\Document.qvw

To avoid being prompted if you want to execute the program, go to the script editor, and to the "Settings" tab in the lower part. Click on "Can Execute External Programs"

Hope that helps.

Koushik,

Actions and triggers on server doens't fire as they do in the Desktop application, and is very likely you cannot do that. There are EDX tasks in Publisher, using the QMS API so you can create a VB or C# project to call a task (in your case, a reload task) from the client.

Anyway, specifying in the Action UNC paths in the form \\server\resource\file for both the qv.exe file and the qlikview document to be reloaded instead of local paths (C:\) should work, although it will ask for permissions in your browser (it's actually opening qv.exe as if you did using the Windows, Run command). So you need to have Desktop installed in your Server, plus use only Plugin (using AJAX will not fire the trigger). However, the reloads takes place. The users need permissions to execute that application in the server, and write permissions in the folder where the document resides.

Hope that helps.

Antony,

The file you want to reload must be closed. Otherwise you will keep seeing the values before the reload was executed. If permissions are all right, then that should work.
