Triggering the reload for every 5 mins using Python script integrated into Automation

GOKULAKANNAN — Wed, 28 May 2025 21:01:16 GMT

Hi Team,

Is there a way to trigger an application reload using the python script integrated in qlik cloud automation (using API),

It should trigger the automation for one time , but in a loop python script should execute for every 5 mins.

I have frequent scheduler app, but looking for a better way to execute the app reload.

Hi @GOKULAKANNAN

Not really sure why you need the python script, you can schedule an automation to run every 5 minutes to reload an app.

I dont know how the python script is being used, but if its through the custom code block you should know it doesn't allow third party modules or doesn't allow internet connection.

Best Regards

Hi @GOKULAKANNAN

I assume you can also make an http request to reload a specific app outside of QAA, and make that http request every 5 minutes

Reloads REST | Qlik Developer Portal

But then i assume it will consume another resource other then automation runs (app reload related).
