Reload document from an external program

[alec1982]

hi all,

I am trying to find a way to reload a qvw from an external source (maybe through http call?). we have a database where we want the task to start after some actions on the database have occurred. so is there a way I can run an external task to reload a qvw?

Best,

Alec

Maybe this can help you Re: Trigger EDX Qlikview 10

As cleveranjos‌ states EDX is probably the most robust way.  However, if you only have Server, without Publisher you can only have one reload set up on each document.  If you have a scheduled reload you can not have an EDX one also.

It is possible to run a reload from the QlikView command line, which means you can kick things off from batch files.  It's not ideal, as it is not logged like a Server task, but it can be useful sometimes.

The syntax is:

"C:\Program Files\QlikView\Qv.exe" /r "d:\qlikviewdocuments\myqvw.qvw"

Hopefully one or other of those approaches will work for you.

you probably need to create a share folder for the DB to call out a bat file but you could use /r to reload your document
