Reload Engine:Failed to contact service

[Qvmaster2019]

I am trying to reload a supporting tasks (batch file).

The error looks like this (Status.jpg)

The tasks looks like this (Supporting tasks.jpg).

The batch file,that works when manually opened,has this code

pushd "\\FILES-NA\QV_Production\QlikViewSource\DataSources\XMLFiles\Monitor"

del "\\FILES-NA\QV_Production\QlikViewSource\DataSources\XMLFiles\Monitor\*.xml"

exit

Any ideas how to fix this one and make the batch file reload?

Are you using a local user account to run the service?  On your QDS machine go to start > run and type services.msc and scroll down to QlikView Distribution Service right click >properties >log on.  Is it running under the local account or did you set it to an account which you know can run the .bat (for example, your username)?  I usually create an account specific to the qv services to be a service account on the domain to run all qv services and give the account access to locations where shared qlikview files or .bat's reside so it has no issues running anything.
