Qlik Cloud Automation Status Output

FrankC — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 15:27:42 GMT

Hello

I have a simple automation the reloads 1 application and then if successful then load another application. I do have an output block, but that is not passing back to the API. We are trying to call the automation using an API call.

There are 3 separate output blocks. We would like the API to get the appropriate output.

Thanks

Hi @FrankC

If i understand the use case, you are running the automation on triggered mode, and calling the automation get endpoint to execute it, but you are not getting back any response from that call to the automation?

Edited 5:37PM: Choose to not run it in async mode and you will get back a response from the output blocks

Thanks

Inputs; Run Mode-Triggered and Run asynchronously - Yes

We are calling the automation using an API call. The automation completes successfully and that is what is being returned. What we would like returned is the value in the output block.

Hi @FrankC

Did you check my previous comment?

I didn't see your previous message. However, when we change to asynchronously to No we received a timeout message as the automation takes longer than 60 seconds. The recommendation that we found to get around the time out issue was to change asynchronously to YES

Hi @FrankC

Yeah, i see the limitation in the user guide.
In that case i am not sure the use case is possible, but perhaps wait a bit maybe someone found a way to do this.

If you use async = yes then the response each time will be the JSON that mentions the automation being queued

Best Regards

I did find a workaround. I added an ERROR block and now the error message is coming through
