On the Advanced tab, the QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) handling of the QlikView engine (QVB.exe) can be managed.
QlikView Engine
By default, when Distribution Groups are not activated, this section and the following settings are available.
- Max number of simultaneous QlikView engines for distribution - The maximum number of simultaneous QlikView Batch instances (default 4).
- Max number of simultaneous QlikView engines for administration - The maximum number of simultaneous QlikView Batch readers (default 20).
When a distribution group is activated this section is replaced by Cluster Node Settings.
Cloud Deployment

Max number of simultaneous Cloud Distributions
The maximum number of simultaneous distributions of documents to cloud. Default i 5.
If the number of document distributions to cloud exceeds what is defined in Max number of simultaneous Cloud Distribution, the cloud distribution tasks end up in Queued state. Other distributions, cloud distributions with documents excluded, will run as usual.
Section Access
When section access is defined in the documents, it may be necessary to configure a specific entry for the QDS to avoid it interfering with the work of the task. By default, the QDS will apply the section access associated to the Windows user under which the service run. This may be overridden at each task. If a default override is preferable, it can be defined by configuring the login credentials in the following text boxes:
User Name
To configure the user name, enter the desired credentials in this text box.
Password
To configure the password, enter the desired credentials in this text box.
Work Order
To send a work order to the designated QDS, click on the Send Work Order button.
