This document covers QlikView build 11.2.12902, Service Release 12. Information about QlikView 11.2
SR1-SR6 are not included, but can be found in the SR6 Release Note.
The release contains components of QlikView Desktop, QlikView OCX, QlikView Server, QlikView
Publisher, QlikView Webparts for Microsoft SharePoint(R), QlikView Workbench and all clients except
clients for mobile devices.

1.1

Important security information regarding QV11.20 SR12

A security vulnerability related to XML handling in QlikView has been found, special thank you to Alex
Haynes, IT security analyst at Vente Prive for reporting. We recommend that you assess this
vulnerability in your QlikView deployment. A fix is provided in QlikView Server version 11.20 SR12
which we recommend all customers apply to alleviate this issue. Please contact Support if you have any
questions.

1.2

New in QV11.2 SR11

1.2.1 Errors in Expressions - syntax errors displayed in chart objects which previously
did not show an error
As a result of fixing bug 69228 Syntax checker not working, syntax error messages in object
expressions are now returned to objects instead of returned as NULL. This may result in an object
which rendered in SR10 or earlier, displaying an error message in SR11 (Error in expression). In
addition, QlikView Server will generate an error message in the QlikView Server event log every time a
faulty expression is evaluated. To avoid disruption in existing production environments and potentially
large growth in event log file size, this will only be ON in QlikView Desktop and by default turned OFF
in QlikView Server.
You are able to turn this ON by adding SilentErrorInChart=0 to the Settings.ini file for QlikView
Server (C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer). We recommend that in test/development/QA
environments that this setting is turned ON so that errors in expressions are logged and faulty
expressions can be identified and corrected. Errors will be logged in the QlikView Server Events log
only if SilentErrorInChart=0, an example log entry is below:
Error SE_LOG: Expression Error. Doc: S&D Dashboard.qvw, ObjectId: Document\CH14, Expr(4).

1.2.2 QVS stability


A number of improvements have been made and several bugs have been fixed regarding QVS stability,
both in single and clustered environments. The improvements will be most noticeable in high-pressure
clustered scenarios.

1.2.3 QVS stability


A number of improvements have been made and several bugs have been fixed regarding QVS stability,
both in single and clustered environments. The improvements will be most noticeable in high-pressure
clustered scenarios.

1.2.4 QDS improvements


A number of improvements regarding QDS reliability in clustered environments. We recommend all
customers with clustered QDS environments to upgrade.

1.2.5 Support for Internet Explorer Touch


Touch mode on tablets or hybrid computers with Internet Explorer should now have the same
functionality as Safari and Chrome.
4

General comments

1.2.6 Direct Discovery Sub queries


Additional capability has been added in the cases where more than one table/view within the application
is in Direct Discovery mode. A new Set statement can be used:
SET DirectEnableSubquery='true';
This will invoke SQL sub queries to be generated when filters are applied to a table which involves
limiting the dataset in another associated direct discovery table (without this a large IN clause may be
generated)
The following limitations apply when using subqueries:
Subquery syntax is only invoked when you select data which involves filtering a chart using data from
another table.
The amount of data within the keys is the determining factor, not the number of keys.
Subqueries are only invoked if all tables involved are in Direct Discovery mode. If you filter the chart
using data from a table included in memory mode, an IN clause will be generated.

1.2.7 Possibility to turnoff Execute command in Publisher


As a security feature, it is now possible to turn off the ability to use Execute command in a script. A
new setting, AllowExecuteCommand, which by default is set to 1 is included in the QVB settings.ini file.
This is located in the file path:
"C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch".
Changing this setting to 0 will cause any Publisher task with an Execute command in the script to fail.
This setting has to be done on all nodes in a QDS cluster.

1.2.8 New API call for load balancing in QVS cluster


The new method allows the caller to find the address of the QVS that currently is most suitable for
opening the specified document according to the load balancing settings of the given QV Web Server.
This is to be used when building solutions that is not going through the AccessPoint
New QMS API method call:
Uri SelectServer(Guid qvwsID, string document);
Example:
ServiceInfo[] qvsServices = qms.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewWebServer);
Guid serverID = qvsServices[0].ID;
Uri serverURI = qms.SelectServer(serverID, "MyDocumentName");

1.3

New in QV11.2 SR10

1.3.1 New Pie chart color option


Now possible to define color of the lines around the sectors in a Pie chart. In the properties Color tab of
the chart, you can now find the Sector outline property. Please note that calculated colors do not work for
this setting.

1.4

New in QV11.2 SR9

1.4.1 iOS8 Safari support


This release now supports iOS8.1 with Safari/AJAX use. Due to several issues in iOS8.0, this will not be
supported. Our native iOS apps are currently being adapted for iOS8.

General comments

1.4.2 New Trigger option in QMC


When configuring a trigger for a task in the QMC, you now a new option available. Previously you could
choose Once/Hourly/Daily/Weekly/Monthly, now also Continuously is added. Choosing this option
will restart the task as soon as it has finished.

1.5

New in QV11.2 SR8

This release includes the following major changes:

1.5.1 New Client language: Polish


The AJAX Help will be included in SR9.

1.5.2 Configurable AJAX


Configurable Ajax Messages
Some of the messages sent in the AJAX client can now be configured to your own wording or translated
to another language.
You can change these messages in the file "customTranslations.js" supplied in the "Program
Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewAjax\htc\customFiles" folder on the machine where
the QV WebServer runs.

A file named customTranslationsExample.js is also provided that shows syntax and which messages that
can be configured.
Configurable Ajax functions
For new or changed functionality in the AJAX client we will in future releases try to provide a
mechanism where you can choose to turn these functions/changes On or Off.
This configuration file is named customConfig.js and placed in Program
Files\QlikView\Server\QlikViewClients\QlikViewAjax\htc\customFiles " folder on the machine where
the QV WebServer runs.
A file named customConfigExample.js is also provided that shows syntax and which functions/changes
that can be configured.
Currently these features are configurable:
- TranslationEvents (see above Configurable Ajax Messages, default ON)
- MultiselectCalendar (possibility to select more than one day in Calendar object, default ON)
- InputDeviceRotator (possibility to switch between Mouse/Touch input on hybrid devices, default ON)

1.5.3 Alternate state parameter for certain functions


New parameter added to the functions GetSelectedCount(), GetFieldSelections() and
GetCurrentSelections() to query other states than the main state.
E.g. =GetFieldSelections(Quantity, ';', ,'StateA')

1.6

New in QV11.2 SR7

This release includes the following major changes:

General comments

1.6.1 Windows XP / Vista and Internet Explorer 6 & 7


Since Microsoft has stopped their support of Windows XP on the 14 th of April we have decided to
remove Windows XP from our list of supported platforms. At the same time we decided to remove
Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 6 & 7 from the list due to low usage in our customer base. The
product will still be installable on both XP and Vista and you can still report issues, but these issues will
most likely get low priority.

1.6.2 Direct Discovery Enhancements


3 key features have been added to this release:
Support for multi-table queries
o

Direct Discovery can be used to load more than one table/view and supports ANSI
SQL join functionality. A limitation exists in the fact that in a single chart all measures
must be derived from the same logical table in QlikView, this could in fact be a
combination of tables from source linked via join statements.

Support for server side section access


Support for Teradata Query banding

1.6.3 Task performance summary


New task performance summary added that will provide information about the amount of RAM
used, CPU and QVB elapsed time.
Information is to be to be used for planning and troubleshooting purposes.
RAM information
Peak RAM:

The highest amount of consumed RAM during the task run, divided into physical
and virtual.

Total peak RAM:

The highest amount of consumed RAM during the task run for all processes
combined on the machine, divided into physical and virtual.

Average RAM

The average value of RAM used for the task, divided into physical and virtual.

CPU information
QVB peak CPU:

The highest amount of consumed CPU during the task run used by the task
process (QVB).

Total peak CPU:

The highest amount of consumed CPU ran during the task for all processes on the
machine.

Average CPU:

The average CPU usage for the task, shown as a percentage.

Elapsed time:

Log the elapsed time run for the QVB.


7

General comments

Setting up:
The task performance summary can be activated by setting the EnableQVBProcessSummary
to 1 in the QVB Settings.ini file.
Default location of the QVB Settings.ini file:
C:\Windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch
Note: The last row in the ini file needs to be blank.

1.6.4 Support for document administrator group with cross domain groups
Starting with v11.20 SR7 it will be possible to use the document administrator group in setups
involving multiple domains.
Note:
Using multiplied domains can result in a performance impact, where the use of cache is
recommended.
How to use cache:
Add/Change configuration key in QVManagementService.exe.config
<!-<add
<!-<add

DocumentFolder Admin Cache Enabled -->


key="DocumentFolderAdminCacheEnabled" value="true" />
DocumentFolder Admin Cache Expiry in minutes -->
key="DocumentFolderAdminCacheExpiryMinutes" value="15" />

1.6.5 CAL allocation audit added to QlikView server event log


Information of which administrator that adds or removes a CAL has been added to the QlikView
server log file.

1.6.6 Support to get Session and Usage CAL information using API
Adds support to use the API to get information regarding the Session and Usage CAL ex.
LastUsed, MachineID, UserName, QuarantinedUntil (when applicable).
Note:
An update of the service reference could be needed when upgrading from a previous version to
enable the new values.

1.7

Cross-release compatibility

It is not possible to have multiple versions of QlikView Desktop installed, i.e. the QlikView 11.2
Desktop installer will overwrite a QlikView 10 Desktop installation. However, the QlikView 11.2
Desktop executable file can be copied to any location on the hard drive and run from there without
conflicting with the installed QlikView version.
In order to run multiple versions of QlikView Desktop on a single machine, please follow this
procedure:

General comments
1.

Uninstall prior version

2.

Install QlikView Desktop v11.2

3.

Copy the QV.exe file to a new, safe location

4.

Uninstall QlikView Desktop v11.2

5.

Install prior version

Following this procedure, you end up with a working version 11.2 QV.exe, but the operating system
treats the prior version as your primary version of QlikView.
QlikView 11.2 has a file format compatible with versions 9, 10 and 11.
The QlikView Plug-In client is automatically installed with QlikView Desktop. If the version of either
client is changed, it is recommended to do an uninstall of the previous version before installing another
version. If any of the installations become unstable, they can be corrected by repairing the affected
installation.
QlikView 9 Workbench and QlikView 9 WebParts are not compatible with QlikView 11.2.

1.8

Installation programs

The QlikView Server installation program installs QlikView Server and QlikView Publisher.
The QlikView Desktop installation program installs QlikView Desktop and QlikView Plug-in for
Microsoft Internet Explorer by default. To install the Plug-in only, run the QlikView Desktop installation
using the custom setup option and select QlikView OCX only. A separate installation program for
QlikView Plug-in for Microsoft Internet Explorer is included in the QlikView Server install.
A 64-bit version of the QlikView Plug-In is included in the 64-bit QlikView Desktop installation
program. Follow the procedure above to install the 64-bit Plug-in. There is not a separate install program
for the 64-bit Plug-in.
QlikView Documentation and Tutorial, QlikView Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint(R) and QlikView
Workbench are delivered in separate installation programs.

1.9

Support material

The new features in QlikView 11.2 are documented in the PDF reference manual and in the help files
that can be found in the separate installation packages.

Comments on product features

2 Comments on product features


The following features are conscious design decisions and most of them are not likely to change in
coming Service Releases.

2.1

Server installation

2.2

It is not possible to install the QlikView Server on a domain controller.

Clients, Presentation, Layout & Charts

If data with over 2,147,483,647 unique values is loaded, QV does not load correctly. Also, after
2,147,483,647, the value turns negative as the data is displayed in record number in a statistic
box.

Dimension limits should not be used in tables that contain mini-charts. This will cause an out of
memory error.

The security settings of Internet Explorer may prevent users from exporting data or sending data
to Excel when using the plug-in client. The workaround is to add the QlikView server to the
trusted sites list or modify the security settings under Internet Options to allow launching of
external applications. In addition, ensuring the Enable Protected Mode check box is unchecked
may also be necessary.

AJAX for Small Devices mode is not compatible with Private Browsing in iOS5. In order to
have the full functionality of the client you must turn off Private Browsing in Safari.

On systems using UAC (Windows user access control), WebView may require that QlikView is
started using the Run as Administrator option.

The AJAX client will ignore all scroll bar settings except widths.

The AJAX client does not allow users to change scroll bar settings.

OnActivate and OnDeactivate Sheet Object Event triggers have been removed from QlikView
11 and later. The sheet level triggers are still available though, only the object level has been
removed.

The Activate and ActivateAll API methods no longer work since the OnActivate and
OnDeactivate object triggers have been removed.

The new, scrollable tab row is not available in Internet Explorer 8 and lower or in older versions
of other browsers. In older browsers, the original tab row will be used.

Beacons are not displayed in the new (scrollable) tab row.

The vertical label setting on Pivot and Straight tables has no effect in AJAX.

Prior to QlikView 11 some graphical charts allow an 'others' segment. When these charts are
opened in QlikView 11, the X-axis presentation limit and the label are moved to the proper
places on the Dimension Limits tab. This is not the case with straight tables. The label will be
moved to the Dimension Limits tab but the Max Number of Rows value will remain as it was.

There is no undo functionality on Notes and Comments. If a Note is deleted, it is permanently


removed. If an object with Notes is deleted, all of the Notes and Comments for that object will
be permanently deleted even though it is possible to undo the deletion of the object.

Graphical charts with Max Visible Number set in version 10 and older will have this setting
migrated to the new Dimension Limits tab in the property dialog. The new settings will be to
Show Only using the Largest values

The default significant digits have gone from 8 to 14. This only affects list boxes and
expressions that have not been reformatted from Expression Default.
10

Comments on product features

The Menu option and Dialog box for interacting with Server objects have been removed. The
View | Show Server Objects menu commands should be used to interact with server objects.

Suppress Zeroes is not being done in Pie and Funnel charts. Zero values were
previously suppressed in the front end for expressions in these two charts. With the addition of
Dimension Limits, QlikView will no longer suppress zero values for expressions across all chart
types. This will affect charts that have only expressions and no dimensions. Zero values caused
by dimensions will still be suppressed as before when the option is enabled.

Scrollbars in AJAX do not respect changes in the settings. This is because we have changed the
way scrollbars are rendered in AJAX.

There is no way to choose/upload an image for Backgrounds or Dynamic Backgrounds in the


AJAX client.

2.3

Script, ETL and Expressions

The script parser no longer accepts incomplete quotes (or brackets) around file names.

The default color scheme for script and expression syntax has been changed.

On 64-bit systems, 64 and 32-bit QlikView loads both 64 and 32-bit custom connectors.
QlikView first looks for 64-bit connectors in the current QV.exe location and then in Program
Files/Common Files/QlikTech/Custom Data. Further, QlikView looks for 32-bit connectors in
the current QV.exe location and then in Program Files (x86)/Common Files/QlikTech/Custom
Data. If several connectors with the same file name are found only the first one is included into
the connector list.

The macro script debugger is no longer in QlikView. The product is no longer supported by
Microsoft.

2.4

Documentation & localization

WebView help is not completely context-sensitive like the rest of the help. The help will react
to the currently selected object but not the properties within the object. The help can be opened
from the Help menu or from within the regular QlikView help.

QlikView documentation is no longer stored in C:\Program Files\QlikView. Documentation is


now stored in C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikView Documentation. In XP and Server 2003, it is
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\QlikView Documentation

2.5

QlikView Server, QlikView Publisher and Management Consoles

Due to a limitation associated with using Microsofts COM objects we recommend that you
limit the number of QlikView Engines (QlikView Enterprise Management Console>>
System>> Setup>> Distribution Services>> Advanced tab) to a maximum of 9 or the number of
processor cores available on the host server -1, whichever is lower. If you have more than 9
processor cores, and wish to run more Engines, contact Support for information regarding a
registry change to the Desktop Memory Heap settings on the server.

The QlikView Server services are designed to run as local administrator. Running with an
account that is not local administrator is an unsupported scenario.

To use the QlikView Management Service (QMS) API the group QlikView Management API
must be created as a local security group on the QMS machine and the account that uses the API
must be part of that group. This will also apply to importing tasks from another QMS. There are
two exceptions to this:

The API for starting an EDX task and

The API for getting status on an EDX task.


11

Comments on product features

In QlikView 11, EDX runs through the QlikView Management Service (QMS) API. This is a
major change from QlikView 10, where EDX is realized by calls directly to a QlikView
Distribution Service (QDS).

Search results may differ between two searches in a clustered Directory Services Connector
(DSC) right after a change since each DSC caches individually.

When using session recovery (session recovery is only applicable for the AJAX client) there
will be a Server bookmark in the QlikView Management Console for each user that is using a
document. These Server Bookmarks will reappear in the QMC even if deleted because they are
generated by QlikView to handle session recovery.

When losing the network connection - even briefly - there will be errors in the task logs and
event log.

When using Session Collaboration, invitees have the same data access privileges as the session
initiator.

QlikView cannot sustain the inputfields if the document is opened without data. Therefore, any
document containing inputfields will always open with data, even if flagged not to do so. When
this occurs, a line indicating this behavior will be written to the log file.

12

New functionality in QlikView 11.2

3 New functionality in QlikView 11.2


3.1

Direct Discovery

QlikView Direct Discovery capability combines the associative capabilities of the QlikView in-memory
dataset with a query model where the source data is not directly loaded into the QlikView data model.
The aggregated query result is passed back to the QlikView user interface. The Direct Discovery data set
is still part of the associative experience where the user can navigate both on the in-memory data and the
direct discovery data associatively.
The QlikView Direct Discovery feature is a hybrid capability where the in-memory and direct discovery
data sets can be analyzed together, even in the same chart. The business users can make selections on
either of the data sets, and see what is associated and not associated with the same QlikView association
colors; green, grey, and white. They can create charts that help them analyze data from both data sets
together.
This hybrid approach provides much greater power and flexibility than the data visualization tools or
traditional query capabilities because with these tools, the users can either create extracts to an inmemory engine or run queries on the database but cannot do both on the same application persistently.
QlikView Direct Discovery enables users to perform business discovery and visual analysis against any
amount of data, regardless of size. With the introduction of this unique hybrid approach, users can
associate data stored within big data sources directly alongside additional data sources stored within the
QlikView in-memory model. QlikView can seamlessly connect to multiple data sources together within
the same interface, e.g. Teradata, SAP, and Google Big Query, allowing the business user to associate
data across the data silos.

3.1.1 Limitations
Due to the interactive and SQL syntax specific nature of the Direct Discovery approaches a number of
limitations exist.
The following chart type is not supported;
Mini charts
And the following QlikView features are not supported;
Advanced calculations
Calculated dimensions
Comparative Analysis (Alternate State) on the QlikView objects that use Direct Discovery fields
Non Dimension Direct Discovery fields are not supported on Global Search
Binary load from a QlikView application with a Direct Discovery table
Section access and data reduction
Loop and Reduce
Synthetic keys on the Direct Discovery table
Table naming in script does not apply to the Direct table
The use of * after DIRECT QUERY keyword on the load script (e.g. DIRECT QUERY *)
Considerations from a security perspective.
All of the users using the QlikView application with the Direct Discovery capability will be using
the same connection. With this initial release, authentication pass-through or credentials-peruser are not supported.

13

New functionality in QlikView 11.2


Section Access is not supported.
With the new NATIVE() expression function, it would be possible to execute custom SQL
statements in the database. It is advised that the database connection set up in the load script
should use an account with only read access to the database.
It is possible to flood the database with requests from the client.
It is possible to get detailed error messages from the QlikView Server log files.
Log files are automatically generated on the desktop if the direct query fails due to a database
error.

Upgrading from previous QlikView versions

4 Upgrading from previous QlikView versions


4.1

QlikView Desktop

To upgrade, previous versions of QlikView need not be uninstalled. However, the previous installation
will be overwritten and the settings from the earlier version will be used.

4.2

QlikView Server

4.2.1 From QlikView 10


To upgrade, previous versions of QlikView need not be uninstalled. However, the previous installation
will be overwritten and the settings from the earlier version will be used.

4.2.2 From QlikView 11


It is recommended to uninstall earlier versions of QlikView before installing the QlikView 11.2.

15

Known issues

5 Known issues
The following issues were identified at release time. The list is not comprehensive; it does however list
all known major issues. The ambition is to have the issues fixed in coming versions.

5.1

Clients, Presentation, Layout & Charts


The Calendar object in AJAX client has been replaced in QV11.2 SR4, with a different look and
feel, but should otherwise be fully compatible.

Direct Discovery issues


o

It is not recommended to use the OCX plugin in combination with Direct Discovery.

Direct fields do not populate system fields in the same way as in-memory fields.
(#51841)

Logical data islands in the data model behave differently between Direct Discovery
and in memory tables. (#50880)

Tablebox not updating when it contains only MEASURE or DETAIL fields and
DIMENSION field clicked in Listbox

Cannot do a reload when app contains tablebox and textbox at the same time

selecting a value in a table box that is in a detail or measure field results in a X through
the table box

Unexpected behavior on updating data in the source DB with a list box DIMENSION

If direct sql data source is down, opening a DD QVW takes several minutes

The Subversion wrapper has a problem with parsing different language code pages.

QlikView supports subversion 1.6.17 and 1.7.x. Trying to use other versions may result in
incompatibility issues.

A document with input fields will create a .shared file when it is opened on an Accesspoint. Due
to underlying data structures, the .shared file will grow with an average of 50-80 bytes/input
field value when the input field value is changed.

Macros will not function in WebView.

QlikView 9 (Desktop and Server) cannot open documents that contain the new QlikView 11
actions.

When upgrading from a prior version to QlikView 11, the internet cache should be cleared
before the new AJAX property dialogs can be used.

Pressing the Help button in the AJAX client invokes help but not context sensitive help.

When using QlikView Help in Firefox (AJAX), the browser window will resize (reduce in size
or minimize).

When both x86 and x64 versions of QlikView Desktop are installed on a single machine an
uninstallation of either will leave some files on the hard drive. These files can be manually
removed.

When using the AJAX client in IE, list boxes with many (>50,000) items will display a white
box instead of the values when scrolling / paging though the list.

The alignment options for Multi-Line captions do not work in the AJAX client in IE7.

Nested grid containers will expand beyond the outer container when first created in the AJAX
client. Pressing F5 or resizing the outer container will fix the problem.
16

Known issues

The Select Report dropdown is active in the AJAX client even if the QlikView Server does
not allow printing. The users will not be able to print even though it appears they can.

QlikView 11 can open QlikView 10 project files (XML). If there was a container object in the
original QlikView 10 file, it will be lost when opening the project files in QlikView 11. This
will corrupt the new QlikView 11 file and the entire container will need to be reconstructed. The
work around is to open the QlikView 10 file in QlikView 11 and recreate the project files.
Reportedly this could happen with QlikView 11 files as well, please follow same procedure and
re-create the project files.

Creating multi-column list boxes in AJAX is not working correctly. The slider to change the
number of columns is not working. However, the user can type a number into the box next to
the slider to change the number of columns.

QlikView will render graphical charts with multiple dimensions and multiple expressions (a
combo chart with two dimensions and three expressions, for example) though the chart will not
provide much value. Currently, QlikView will produce a drawing failed internally error when
trying to render graphical (not straight and pivot tables) charts with these characteristics.

Documentation & localization

When adding Document Administrators, it shows in the GUI Add users and Groups, but
security groups are not allowed as document administrators. (#52143)

QMC Webhelp is now available in Japanese. To replace English Webhelp with Japanese
Webhelp, please rename the two folders (QMCHelp and QMCHelp_JPN) which you typically
find under C:\Program Files\QlikView\Management Service. Change QMCHelp to
QMCHelp_Old or QMCHelp_eng (or delete the folder if you do not need English help).
Change QMCHelp_JPN to QMCHelp the Japanese help files will now be accessed when
you click the Help icon in the top corner. A PC that has displayed the English help files needs to
empty its web cache to ensure the Japanese files are loaded. Any QlikView services running
need to be stopped before making the changes and started again after the change was made.

English documentation for QlikView Desktop is included in this release. Other languages must
be downloaded from the QlikView website.

It is possible to have the Help language different from the QlikView Desktop interface. This can
be changed on the General tab of User Preferences.

5.3

QlikView Server, QlikView Publisher and Management Console

When using Script parameters in a reload task without a loop and distribute, only one reload
will be executed, i.e. only the first parameter value will be used. The possible workarounds are
either to add a loop and distribute to e.g. a scrap folder, or to create one task for each value.

Network Storage Devices other than Microsoft Windows based shares are known to cause
system instability and are not currently supported.

Running an older version (pre v11) of QlikView Server after having a v11 QlikView Server
installed and running will disable the existing anonymous account. In order to run the older
version of QlikView Server, the anonymous account must be enabled BEFORE starting the
older QlikView Server.

The suggested filename when downloading from the AccessPoint may have non Western
European characters replaced by underscores in browsers that do not support UTF-8 headers.

If QlikView Server isnt allowed to disable the anonymous account it will still try every time it
starts.

It is possible to enter more text in document description than will be visible in the Access Point

QlikView Workbench

In some situations it may not be possible to edit the properties of an Extension Object created
with the Extension Wizard.

Some of the extension examples use direct links to /QvAjaxZfc/ instead of relative links. This
will cause these examples to fail in Workbench (and Web Parts). To make them work
LoadExtensionScripts LoadCSS should be used. E.g.:
Qva.LoadScript("/QvAjaxZfc/QvsViewClient.aspx?public=only&name=Extensio
ns/QlikView/Examples/geoHeat/raphael.js", geoHeat_Example_Done);

changed to:
Qv.LoadExtensionScripts(["Extensions/QlikView/Examples/geoHeat/raphael.
js"], geoHeat_Example_Done);

and:
Qva.LoadCSS("/QvAjaxZfc/QvsViewClient.aspx?public=only&name=Extensions/
QlikView/Examples/org/main.css");

changed to:
Qva.LoadCSS(Qva.Remote + (Qva.Remote.indexOf('?') >= 0 ? '&' : '?') +
'public=only' + '&name=' +
"Extensions/QlikView/Examples/piechartlabel/style.css");

Shared file Cleaning TOOL

12 Shared file Cleaning TOOL


QlikView are pleased to announce that a new shared file Cleaning Tool is now included in the QlikView
Server executable. This will allow system administrators to analyze (verify) and repair (purge) the
QlikView document shared files easily and effectively simply by running a command line execution of
QVS.exe with special parameters. The server administrator will then have the option of using the
purged shared file, or retaining the old shared file.

12.1 How-to Instructions:


There are two modes available with the Cleaning Tool, each specified by a different command-line
parameter. The first mode is called VERIFY and the second mode is called PURGE.

-VERIFY: By using the parameter -v the Cleaning Tool will analyze the shared file specified in the
command-line, and create a report detailing the results of the analysis performed against your shared file.
If during the analysis the tool detects there is one or more INVALID/CORRUPTED object entries, in the
shared file, the QVS will log as much information as possible around the INVALID entries.
-PURGE: By using the parameter -p, the cleaning tool will verify the shared file, and then also create a
brand new version of their SharedFile with corrupt entries removed. This clean version of the SharedFile
will be placed into the same folder where the original SharedFile is located. The new file will be called
MYFILE.QVW.Shared_clean, and the original shared file will not be overwritten. The server
administrator can then make a decision to replace the original shared file with the new, clean shared file.
The format of the command that users have to type into the Command Prompt for using the SharedFile
cleaning tool is the following:
C :\> < Folder path where the QVS is placed + \QVS.exe > < -x > < Folder path + \Name of
the SharedFile > <Cleaning Tool Mode> -l <Log Folder path>
Parameter 1: The path where the QVS.exe file is located in your system folder, plus, the name of the
file to be executed, in this case, QVS.exe. All text must be placed in double quotes.
Parameter 2: By entering x, as a parameter within the command, users are telling the QVS that they
want to run the SharedFile Cleaning Tool only. This will not start the QVS service in normal mode, an
instance of QVS will start, run the cleaning process then shut down.
Parameter 3: Path where the SharedFile to be cleaned is located, in your system folder, plus the name of
the SharedFile itself. All text must be enclosed in double quotes.
Parameter 4: If user wants to execute the tool in VERIFY mode, use parameter -v. To clean the shared
file, use parameter -p to create a new copy of the shared file, with corrupt entries removed.
Parameter 5: Optional, if you want to change folder for the log file.

12.2 Step by step instructions


1. Make backups of your shared files before proceeding.
2. Locate your copy of QVS.exe. By default that will be in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server and
make a copy of it. Place the copy in a different folder, for example C:\Temp.
3. Determine which shared file you wish to analyze (verify) and if necessary, repair (purge).
4. Open a command prompt (run as Administrator).

5. To verify the shared file, enter the appropriate command line as below C:\> C:\Temp\QVS.exe
x C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Documents\FinanceAnalysis.qvw.Shared v

6. Locate the verify file log the file will be called CleaningTool_MACHINENAME.log and be
placed together with the other server logs. The log will list each type of shared file object if
there is corruption. If the corrupt entry can be identified, it will list the object ID.

7. If there are corrupt entries, we recommend that you PURGE the shared file. Rerun the command
line as above, and change the last parameter from v to p. C:\> C:\Temp\QVS.exe x
C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\Documents\FinanceAnalysis.qvw.Shared p
8. The purge process will create a new shared file, with corrupt objects removed or corrected. Note
the resulting file may be larger than the source file. The new file will be placed in the same
folder as the source shared file, but will be called MYFILENAME.QVW.Shared_clean. The
original source shared file will be remain in place.
9. Rerun the verify stage again, remember that the new clean file is called
MYFILENAME.QVW.shared_clean, so adjust your command line accordingly, otherwise you
will just re-verify the old corrupt file again.
10. Locate the verify log.

It should now be clean and have no corrupt entries.

11. Finally, replace the old corrupt shared file with the new file. Do this when the file is not in use
(i.e. there are no users accessing the application on the server). Rename the old shared file,
and copy the new shared file. The correct name should be MYFILENAME.QVW.Shared.

12.3 Warnings and Tips


- Any time you run the cleaning tool against a SharedFile, new lines will be added to the
CleaningTool_MACHINENAME.log file.
- Make backups of your shared files before running the cleaning tool.
- In production environments where the existing QVS is very busy, copy the QVS.exe file to a temporary
folder, and execute the command line against the second QVS.exe file.
- Make sure, before running the cleaning tool, that you have permissions for creating files within both
folders. The one where the report file is going to be saved and the other one where the clean version of
the SharedFile is going to be saved.
- The user must run the QVS.exe process with administrator privileges. In case you are experiencing
issues when trying to running the tool, please, try going into the properties dialog of the QVS.exe file
(right-click on it), and CHECK-ON the box Run this program as an administrator, in Compatibility
tab.
- If you have any questions please contact Support, and they will help you out as soon as possible.
