To send mail dependent on another task

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

Do anyone know How to send a mail after the completion of a particular task.??

It is like I have written a macro to send an email with the snapshots of charts.

Once the distribution task of the particular application completes, this mail should get trigger an send it to particular recipients.

I am not having any idea to achieve this.

Kindly share your thoughts on how to achieve this.

Its little urgent.

Thanks,

Leni Balakrishnan

Dear Leni,

I was having same problem but after 10-15 days I got setting of windows schedular Please check with your windows schedular as

per attached screen short setting.

It is showing "Running" only in schedule no problem , you have to check log file should generated after running the schedule.

Hope this will solve your problem.  Let me know if any thing is wanted to run this task from my side , b'cause we have imeplemented

same and working fine with no issues.

Thanks

Hi, 

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe"  /l /NoSecurity "C:\Users\leni.balakrishnan\Desktop\Test_Loop.qvw"

Exit

Save this batch file and try to run this batch file in external task.

Hi,

Have you considered using NPrinting  for districution of PDFs via email ?

With NPrinting you can schedule QV apps to reload and send the output to folders or an email distibution list.

You can tailor filters for individual users, too.

Thanks Vikas.

For me also it is working with Windows scheduler. There is no issue in that.

But I want to do this from QMC. Because as soon as my distribution task completes I want to trigger this email.

Using windows scheduler we can just schedule the mail to send in a particular time and not depending on a task running in QMC right?

But I need to set the variable as well.

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe"  /vvar_SendEmail=1 /NoSecurity "C:\Users\leni.balakrishnan\Desktop\Test_Loop.qvw"

Hi Neil,

I am not familiar with the one you mentioned above.

If possible could you please explain this in detail??

Jst add an "exit" keyword in next line of your batch file.

Run it through external tasks, That should work.

Hi Leni,

I am facing the same problem.

The standard possibilites "alert-email" and "sending notify emails to named users" do not solve your (and my and I am sure some others) issue.

I am going to try generating a mail trough a batch file via a supporting task. The task should depend  on success of another task.

Or did you solve it in another way?

Best Regards

I tried with the supporting task but it didnt work (I am using Qlikview 11). But I came to know that it is working in Qv 11.2. I am still having this issue. Currently using windows scheduler only.

If you find a solution for this using Qv 11 kindly let me know.
