drop qvd

[#1]

Hello,

I am very new to Qlikview, can someone tell me how can i drop the qvd file using the script before loading the data on it.

Thanks in advance.

it opens the cmd.exe window and it is waiting for the input.

Hi Jagan,

We are palnning to housekeep the qvd files periodically, every day when our batch runs it will create a seperate QVD file with a date stamp in the file name.

So we need to maintain only last 10 days files in the QVD folder, files which are older than 10 days needs to purged.

For example when running the batch for 19-Nov need to purge any qvd files which are generated before 9-Nov.

Thanks,

Abdul Kaleem

Strange, I did a quick test and it deletes okay and closes the window.  Can you post the part of the script using to delete

Hi Abdul,

Create a windows scheduler job for this instead of managing this in Qlikview.

Jagan.

Execute cmd.exe \c del "D:\Abdul Kaleem\Qlikview testing\MAS613_dataload_3.qvd";

Use Execute cmd.exe /c

You have the /c with a \.
