Document Failed to Load

[rustyfishbones]

Hi All,

I have been working on an App last week and everything was going fine.

When I tried opening the Application (Qlikview Desktop) this morning I got a message saying the Document failed to Load.

I have tried opening the document with no data from the start page and using cmd with nodata.

I have seen this happen before, but I am desperate to recover the file, I normally set up a -prj folder and keep an up to date list of variables, but I had not done so for this yet and no I am at a loss.

I have opened a ticket with Qlik Support,

I was wondering has anyone ever recovered a file when this has happened??

Regards

Alan

Unfortunaltely it seems that the app is corrupt. Is any section access implemented? It looks not very hopeful but you could try to open the app per vbs and if it's not working you could receive further error-message:

APIGuide-example:

set App = ActiveDocument.GetApplication

App.OpenDocEx "C:\MyDocuments\Budget.qvw",2,false,"jnn","123456","",false

Also to load the meta-data from the app could give hints what is wrong and maybe an idea to manipulate the app in an editor (but this could need more time as to rebuild the app).

Hi Marcus,

I have no section access on the Application.

I will try the vbs to open the App and see if that helps

Hi Marcus, what is "jnn", "123456"

should I leave these blank?

[rustyfishbones]

I have tried this but it did not open the problem file

The vbs does work as I tested on a document that I can open and the vbs opened this file, but it does not open my problem file

Thanks again

Regards

Hi Alan,

these parameter are (optional) user + password from section access.

Thanks Marcus,

I have tried with various parameters added, but still no joy, still getting the same message

[marcus_sommer]

It's sounds silly but have you made a restart from your machine? Sometimes the filesystem / services like shadow copies / other apps like antivirus are blocking the access.

I will try that and let you know if that works

See if you can open this QVW using a different (older) version of QlikView.  It worked for me at least once.
