open document from command line

Hello

got a QVW with Section Access using UserID and Password

what is the syntax to open the file from command line?

c:\program files\Qlikview\qv.exe /r path_to_my_qvw_file

but I want to supply the userid and password automatically

Please advise

Not sure but some discussion on this at the end -

You could use a vbs-batch for this like: Re: Vbs - passing parameters to opendoc or opendocex and if you changed OpenDoc to OpenDocEX you could specify with the parameters 5 + 6 the section access user and password, like in this example:

set App = ActiveDocument.GetApplication

App.OpenDocEx "C:\MyDocuments\Budget.qvw",2,false,"jnn","123456","",false

Please advise

Such a vbs-file is a batch-file. But maybe you need a different approach in this way to extend the existing section access to your server- respectively batch-user so that these user didn't need to give section access credentials.

so you mean I use NTNAME instead of UserId and Password

well that might be an option

Yes, that was meant.

you can run with /no security option so that it will not require any password.
