Thank you guys for your respond. Let me clarify the points you have asked - I’ll try to draw as detailed as possible picture. I absolutely agree that this sounds fishy.
- Do you store the app within a windows file-system or any kind of NAS? Do you use a VM? – it is a local machine (not a server): Windows 7 OS. The files getting stored on local hard drive (I already checked the space available since it could be part of the issue - it is about 2.5 GB free with file size 178 MB (with data). In order to eliminate this concern I’ll increase the space available). No NAS; No VM involved; No prj-folder in use (at least I am not aware of it). The document compression is set to ‘high’, but I am reusing the file created by my developer and I already verified with him that he is not having any issues with that.
- Further are there any macros and actions or section access implemented? – it is no macros, but section access is implemented. I’ve set the section access through domain NT groups – my NT username is member of one group specified in Excel file defined in the main .qvw app (the one is discussing). Just for clarification, my ID has Named license assigned.
At this point I don’t have an option not to develop, but I’m creating local backups on the way.
- Similar issues have been reported previously, but we have never managed to replicate, nor see the issue replicate by customers during remote sessions. This could indicate some environmental disturbance. – I was trying to replicate the issue as well using some kind of crazy scenarios (in order to understand the problem), but so far everything seems to be ok. I am not able to reproduce the issue.
- Is the machine running on latest Windows updates? – as far as I know – yes, but it is really hard to be sure. What I know for sure – the machine is setup for automatic Windows updates and is getting updated on regular basis.
- Do you have any antivirus or backup software that might interfere with the files in your desktop folder? – it should be antivirus installed, but I don’t see that (just for my assurance I’ll confirm this tomorrow). It is no any backup software involved.
- Is the hard drive healthy? – I think so; it was no issues within last year;
- From experience anti-virus real time scan can sometimes cause unexpected interruption in file access. If you still can replicate the issue, I would suggest excluding the storage folder from anti-virus scan, and see if that makes any difference – I’ll do that as soon as i'll determine that software installed;
- I am not sure, Whether you created any object or not? – I am not sure what it really means, but since I am working on some kind of complicated app, it was created one way or another;
- If sure, Then that,s impossible. Might be you forget to save? – that’s what I am on 150% sure - I was constantly saving the file.
The only thing I can recall - the fact that I renamed the .qvw file at some point.
Also, it is worth noting that even if I am new to QlikView world, I’m not a freshmen in IT and specifically in BI business.
Once again, thank you for your help with that.
