Export an automation's Output to a Txt or Csv

Hi,

Following up on my topic
https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Automate/Automation-to-return-an-app-detailed-reload-logs/td-p/2530588

I now have the automation to work as expected, its output is the selected app's last reload log.

Now, I need the community help as I've never tried this before: how can I now export that result into a file (Txt or Csv or even QVD?) so that I can then load it into an app?

Basically I want to replicate what Qlik natively does when we look at an app's reload history/log and click the "Download Detailed Log" button which generates a Txt file.

Any help you can send my way will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Take look at Qlik cloud apis, you can export that info from running those endpoints.

Hi @Adfc_NZ ,

something like this works:

Of course, you can choose a different destination than Dropbox, but the "Create File", "Write Line To File" and "Save and Close File" are the blocks you'll need.

As Data for "Write Line To File" you can pick the Output from "Raw API Request"

Hi Dan,

Is there a way to use Create Data File In Space (Qlik Cloud Service block) to directly save the Reload Log to a space\Datafiles?

In my case we don't want to use third party storage to do the same process but wanted to have similar output to save a Reload Log file in text or csv preserving the format of the Reload Log?
