Running multiple tasks in one job

[#1]

I just have a general question. Is it possible for QlikView to run multiple tasks at the same time in a job?

The reason why I am asking is because I have about 8 tables that are kinda big and instead of creating a job for each table, I would like 1 job to reload them all at the same time. I just like organization.

If this isnt possible, I will be ok with creating 8 jobs. 🙂

To pull data from 8 sources in parallel by QV you should have 8 parallel sessions of QV. The answer is - one batch file with loop to run QV sessions with parameters. Something like this:

i=8
do while i >= 0
 Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
 msgbox """C:\Program Files\QlikViewDesktop\qv"" LoadData.qvw /r /vMonthNumber=" & cstr(i)
 objShell.run """C:\Program Files\QlikViewDesktop\qv"" LoadData.qvw /r /vMonthNumber=" & cstr(i)

 i=i-1

loop

I had the batch process in mind, but wasnt sure if that was above and beyond a simpler solution that was built into Pub that I might have been overlooking.

Thanks alot for the help/example!
