Error: QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA: Failed to connect to server.

Hiya,

I am trying to use a REST connector and am able to bring back data when reloading manually. However, when reloading on the server I get the following error message:

Error: QVX_UNEXPECTED_END_OF_DATA: Failed to connect to server.

I have ran the script on the server without bringing the data back and just the connection string and it reloads fine with no errors.

I have tried with and without authentication, skipping server certificate validation and it still fails on the server.

Do I need to do anything server side to allow for REST connections?

Does anyone have any ideas on what I might be doing wrong?

TIA.

Figured out the problem!

The QlikView account needed IE permission in order for us to hit an external URL.

Hi Samantha,

Have you had a look at the REST connector log? By default the log is stored in %ProgramData%\Qlik\Custom Data\QvRestConnector\Log.

If you are able to reload successfully manually but not when running from QVS/Publisher, the likely difference is the account being used to run the reload. When you run the reload manually, you are using your own account? When you run the reload from QVS/Publisher, the account being used is the QlikView service account running the QlikView Distribution Services. A test you can try is to login to a computer which has QlikView Desktop installed as this QlikView service account and attempt to run the reload. If it fails, you are likely experiencing a permissions issue with the account. 

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I was facing with the same issue and it got solved by changing the proxy settings in Rest Connector.
