How to: Configure the document log in the source folder during reload

Description
Starting with QlikView 12 the document log is written locally to C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch during the reload. It is not copied to the log folder until the reload is complete.
You can change this so you can follow the progress of the reload in the source document folder
Cause
An increase in app reload times was observed in QlikView 12 when document logging is enabled in the document settings. This increase is most significant when using QlikView Publisher, because log files are often written to a remote folder. To mitigate against this increase in reload times, logs are now saved locally, by default, before they are copied to the remote app folder
Resolution
- Find the file Settings.ini I C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\QlikTech\QlikViewBatch. Make a copy and rename it Settings.ini.old
- Open the Settings.ini file in an editor.
- Add LocalScriptLogging=0 at the end of the file.
- Save
Now the document log is written in the source folder during the reload so you can follow the progress
