EXECUTE Command Failed.

Hi Community,

I have a code for executing cmd.exe to delete all existing qvd files !. There is no problem when I run it manually.

code : "EXECUTE cmd.exe /C del *.qvd;"

But whenever I run it in server, the error traced in Document Logfile

2016-05-05 11:06:01 0013 EXECUTE cmd.exe /C del *.qvd

2016-05-05 11:06:01      ERROR - EXECUTE Command Failed. AllowExecuteCommand setting violation detected.  Document: C:\Qlikview\Development\Test\Test.qvw

2016-05-05 11:06:01      Error: Script line error:

2016-05-05 11:06:01      General Script Error

2016-05-05 11:06:01      Execution Failed

This error encountered when we upgrade our server to Qlikview v12. We have no problem when running it from our previous server version Qlikview v11.

Is there any other additional or new code/syntax for deleting qvd files?

Thanks in advance.....

AllowExecuteCommand setting violation detected.

Did you enable the Can Execute External Programs option on the Settings tab in the Script Editor?

There was a change in how QV handles the execute statement authorization. I think you  need to check the .ini setting for AllowExecuteCommand and set it to 1.

It's explained in detail in one of Rob's blog post:
