General Script Error while storing QVD to shared location from other server

[rsdhavle]

We are trying to store data onto other server inside shared folder. We have given necessary permissions to function id which is running Qlikview tasks. Has anyone come across same issue?

We are continuously getting General Script Error.

Hi

Has the script ever run correctly?

Just check that the folder is shared and that you have a mapped drive to that folder.

I've run into this issue in the past when the file is being accessed by another process, for example if it is open in another instance of QlikView and that instance has crashed. When the other instance of QlikView is terminated this seems to resolve the issue.

Otherwise, are you able to save other QVD's to the same folder?

Yes, it's tricky. Please give a look at Marcus's post and follow my one - Re: General Script Error issue

read your post, but we are creating a QVD for first time on the location and still its failing. What can be the reason?

[marcus_malinow]

A couple of possible reasons:

Security

If you're using a mapped drive that may cause issues if the user context that the save is happening in doesn't have the same drive mapping. Make sure you refer to the location like so: \\servername\fileshare\path

You can see if there is a lock on the QVD file by trying to rename the file.

The "General Script Error" will occur if you are trying to overwrite a qvd that is open elsewhere.

If you can close all open QlikView sessions that could be accessing the QVD, including server reloads (qvb,exe), then this should remove the lock.

this is the new QVD file which we are generating for the first time on the location. There is no any file already present.

Thanks for replies. It worked for me after giving full name of server followed by the folder name
