general script error

I get an error when running a task and the problem is that the script tries to open the QVD-file but can't. If you open the file in another application you don't see any columns, just an empty window. If you chose OK you get the columns but the script does not want to load. You get the message "general script error".

Any suggestions?

Have you checked the size of QVD? it might be an empty QVD (of size 4k-6k).

for a 30-40 columns table, empty table can be of that size. how many fields are there and how many rows do you expect?

possibly the QVD is empty. if it is so, you should check the QVD generation script.

Hi,

If possible delete that QVD and make a fresh QVD.

When I got this error, I did the same trick and works for me.

Good luck !!!

Thanks & Regards

The QVD is 241 MB so it's not empty. it's 17 fields in that file.

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to delete it since it's a result of merged files. I'm thinking i would lost data if i do it... not sure.

Hi

those sort of error comes when you access that particular qvd in more then 1 application at the same time.

So what I suggest you is

If you have schedule first compleate application which requires that qvd and then start second application upon compleation of the first application.

Finally you have to schedule in such a way that. That particular qbd is utilized in many application but one after another not at the same time.

Hope that helps

Regards

I can't even run this one by it self so the coalition is not the problem.

the weird thing is that when i open the QVD i don't see any columns but clicking OK makes them show in the script at least, but the script can't run after that at all. General scrip error.
