QlikView Publisher
Part 3 Navigation and Basics
QlikView Publisher is a member of the QlikView product family that manages content and access. By presenting
the end-users with up-to-date information and letting you manage the QlikView documents in a powerful
way, QlikView Publisher is a valuable addition to the QlikView suite.
QlikView Publisher distributes data stored in QlikView documents to users within and outside the organization.
By reducing data, each user can be presented with the information that concerns him/her. The Qlik-
View Publisher service and user interface are now fully integrated into QlikView Server and the QlikView
Management Console (QMC).
If there is no access to QlikView Server or QlikView Publisher, it is possible to reload QlikView documents
on the stand-alone application. Then use the command line switches described in Command Line Syntax
(page 38).
Scheduling Programs
Windows has a Task Scheduler service. The services are controlled from the Computer management applet
in the Control Panel (Windows Vista) or directly from the Control Panel (Windows XP). Make sure that
Status is set to Started (and Startup to Automatic for the service to automatically start after a reboot) for the
relevant service.
The easiest way to submit a batch job is usually to create a batch file with the relevant commands. The file,
named e.g. MyBatch.cmd, could e.g. contain the following commands:
C:\qlikview\qv.exe /r C:\qlikview\example\file.qvw
The Schedule Service
The schedule service normally runs under the system account and thus has some limitations. If access to network
resources is needed, reconfigure the service to run under a different account. Since the QlikView
license is stored in the account-specific folder, make sure that it is correctly registered for the account to be
used. To do this submit an interactive job:
C:\>AT 11:00 /interactive "C:\Program Files\QlikView\qv.exe"
This will cause the License Registration dialog to appear. Here it is possible to register the license also for
the correct account.
The batch file (see the previous page) can be submitted in e.g. the following way:
C:\>AT 11:00 /every:m,t,w,th,f,sa,su
C:\MyBatch.cmd
This will cause the batch file to be executed every day at 11 AM.
Section Access
To reexecute a QlikView file containing a section access, make sure that the license serial number that is
installed on the machine doing the batch execution is allowed to run the script without entering a user name
or a password. See the example above. For more information about section access see Security (page 401).
ODBC
If ODBC is used, please make sure that the DSN definition is available from the account doing the reexecution.
The easiest way to assure this is probably to define the DSN as a System DSN in the ODBC
