Error Object reference not set to an instance of an object - Import Qlik QVD file

Ivan_Shamaev · May 19, 2021, 8:55pm

Hello All,
I solved testing Easymorph on big qvd file (18Gb) and I’ve gotten following error.
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source: action “Import Qlik QVD file”, module “Main”, table “Imported table 1”

Qlik Sense can work with this file but your solution have issue.

Hi Ivan,

thank you for reporting the problem. Can you please send to support@easymorph.com the debug logs located as described here: Diagnostic information to provide.

Ivan_Shamaev · May 19, 2021, 9:34pm

Hi Dmitry,
yes, sure, but log has a little information. Application Event log has not any information about Easymorph.

Thank you

Hi Ivan,

How many rows and columns does that big QVD file have? And how much RAM does your computer have? EasyMorph loads all the imported data to memory, so importing an 18Gb file may require a lot of RAM.

Also, the debug log contains an “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error.
But your second post contains a “The directory name is invalid” error.

Can you please try to reproduce the “The directory name is invalid” error, send us a screenshot of the error message/window and describe the steps that are required to reproduce that error?
