NPrinting 17 On-Demand reports are not generated. Bookmark with id Server\XXXX-XXX could not be found error

NPrinting on-Demand is installed and configured correctly, the On-Demand button is visible. You can click on the button, choose the report and the format and run it. The execution starts but ends with an error.
This error is shown in the scheduler logs:

Bookmark with id Server\XXXX-XXX could not be found

Open the Source QlikView document with QlikView Desktop and go to Bookmarks>More. No bookmark is present in the User Bookmark window.

 

This problem occurs because bookmarks cannot be shared between users if the "Allow Server Objects" option is not checked. This means that the bookmarks created by the Users when launching the On-Demand request cannot be reached by NPrinting.

Another cause could be that you have two connections to the same QlikView document in the same NPrinting App. In this case, in the nprinting_scheduler_dev.log file you will get entries for both connections during attempted On-demand report generation (see bold in example excerpt below):

1. Are Server Objects Allowed?

• Open the QlikView Management Console 
• Go to System > Setup >
• Select the QlikView server and choose Documents in the ribbon bar.
• Verify that the "Allow Server Objects" option is checked.

   

2. Does the QlikView mount have too many sub-folders?

A commonly seen performance impact is caused by the QlikView Document folder having too many sub-folders or files unrelated to Qlik stored in the same location as the .qvw files. Please remove unnecessary files and folders or move the document to the root folder of QlikView Document folder for an initial test. 
 

3. Are Server Objects allowed as per the license?

It is possible that your license does not allow you to check this option. If so, you have to enable session access in the connection and for each user that uses NPrinting On-Demand. See the Qlik Online Help for details.
