is it possible to reload the data every hour automaticly without closing the qlikview and without any reloading messages?

Rob, this is an offline approach. We indeed look for the online refresh of QV application data. Say, if I am tracking the location of a vehicle on move, it should always show the current. That mean, when a new movement occurs in the transactional system, the QV application data also should be got update automatically by a resident program.

Rob's approach is correct.

Under Document Properties > Server, set the document to "Server performs refresh automatically..." and "Just do it".

When the document is loaded in QVS and a new version of the document is saved to replace the old one, the new document will be loaded into server memory and the new data pushed out to the client.

this tab sets the document's behavior when run on a Qlikview server ... so the qlikview server pushes the data to the document.. the problem is that my qlikview document is not on a qlikview server and just on a single workstation.

If you can figure out how to trigger a document macro on a timed basis, you can code a macro that uses the API function DoReload. This function does not display a progress window. See the API Guide for details.

The document will not respond to the user when the macro is running.

Thanks Rob .. i see now what you mean..

"document will not respond to the user then macro is running" .... is this also the case why the server push option in 9.0?

Rob:

"If you are using QV Server, you can reload the document and notify the use that refreshed data is available. See "graceful document refresh" in the Ref Guide. There is no need for the Dynamic update feature."

This option was also availible in 8.5 right?
