Temporary bookmarks are created in the .shared files next to the .qvw documents in QlikView Server to support functionality such as:
- Last Document State (Session Recovery)
- Document Chaining
- Send Bookmark as email
By default, the bookmarks will be deleted from the .shared file after 7 days, counting down from its last used timestamp. The setting can be disabled or configured to set a different interval.
Environment:
QlikView
To delete temporary bookmarks, enable ServerTempBookmarkDayTimeout in the QlikView server's settings.ini file.
To enable this setting, do the following:
- In the Windows Services Management console, stop the QlikView Server service (QVS.exe)
- Locate the Settings.ini configuration file for the QlikView Server. It is by default located in the application data folders for QlikView, which by default is: C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewServer
- Open the Settings.ini file in a text editor
- Located the node [Settings 7] in the file. Directly under that, add the following row, where N is the timeout value in days.
ServerTempBookmarkDayTimeout=N
To disable the deletion on the temp bookmark use value '-1'
- Save and close the Settings.ini file
- In the Windows Services Management console, start the QlikView Server service (QVS.exe)
Removing temporary bookmarks from the .shared file will not decrease the size of the .shared file. This is by design and a consequence of its binary format.
