how to start a QVW reload from SSIS or other places

[#1]

We want to reload a certain Qlikview report as soon as fresh data for it have become available.  The natural idea would be to make the final step of our data refresh process, call out to Qlikview, "hey, go ahead now!"

I was told that it is possible to launch a QVW reload task, not only from the built-in scheduler, but also via some sort of call from other programs -- in particular we want to do this from an SSIS package in SQL 2008. 

Is there documentation about this somewhere?  Thanks in advance for any hints you might have for us.

The process is called "EDX" (Event Driven Execution). It's covered in the server ref guide and here on the forums.
