Logging into QlikView

[joshidipakh]

Hi All,

I am new to Qlikview, I am running my qv_reload command as below:

qv_reload -g ABC -a ABC -f "Model\2. QVD Builder\META\File_Name.QVW" -t 1200 -r -V

Issue is, eventhough QVW completed in few seconds I am getting response from CPS very late or sometimes no reponse.

To avoid this situation I would like to read reload log directly from the log location through unix command :

\\SERVER_NAME\QVDOCS\ABC\ABC\MODEL\2. QVD BUILDER\META\File_Name.QVW.LOG

Could anyone help me how can I achieve reading reload log file through Unix command at the same time qlikview is writing.

Many Thanks in Advance.

Joshidippakh,

Qlikview won't generate the Document or task log until all the entries for the log have been written.  I don't know of any way to see the log entries in "real-time". 

Can you elaborate on what "CPS" is here?  You said the reload of the QVW completes in a few seconds, is the delay in distribution or you receiving an alert that the task has completed?

Thanks,
Josh

I am guessing you are using a third-party scheduling tool here to run things, but that should not impact the script log, which when using QV.exe, is always created in the same directory as the QVW file you are reloading.  The Publisher side of things treats things a bit differently though, so if you are calling the distributionservice.exe instead of QV.exe, then that may post an issue here.  

As far as reading the file if it is there, I am no UNIX guru, so I am not sure of the best way to do that part, but I am betting a bit of Google searching may lead to some ideas there.  It will likely result in the use of grep command I imagine.  Hope this may help a little.

Regards,
Brett
