QMC Tasks: Tree view of task chain

Anonymous — Fri, 20 Dec 2019 06:36:31 GMT

Current QMC Tasks list only allows for seeing the preceding and following tasks of a specific task.

A tree view would be more helpful.

If there is an app for this the idea can be closed.

This is a must.

I am surprised that this does not have more likes. In bigger environments it is completely impossible to get a good overview of the dependencies.

I think this should belong in the QMC since it is such a core feature to and structure the tasks there.

Yes, big like! This is very useful if you have many chained tasks. It will give you a better overview of the task list.

I agree - removing tree view and simple task stats (as last and average reload times) is completely unintelligible for me.

I've worked a bit on a standalone tool (Windows, Mac) doing this (and more), the tree view looks something like this:

A question for you guys out there though:

Would a standalone tool be useful? Sort of a standalone QMC app with features missing in the standard QMC.
Or should it go into the QMC (then we'll have to wait for Qlik to prioritise it, of course)?

I need it to determine tasks reload order so I guess standalone would be useful too 🙂

Another like from me! To add onto this, last task execution as a label or hover-over would be the icing on the cake. The majority of the time that my team is clicking through chain after chain is because we are determining if any tasks have failed, causing delays down the line. A labeled, or color coded tree indicating if any tasks have failed would be enormously helpful for quick diagnoses.

Excellent idea, YES YES YES.

I'm moving step by step from QlikView to QlikSense

In my very complex environment (severals hundreds tasks ) , QMC in QlikSense is so poor ....

Yes , i take it as soon as available !!

We're migrating from QlikView and the Task Overview in Sense is very poor.

Additionally, a seemingly easy step between a full tree view would be "Last Completion Time" in the task chaining pop up window within the QMC Task View. If we are trying to determine why an expected task hasn't run yet, but that task is dependent on 10 other tasks completing, knowing the last time each dependent task completed would really help in diagnosing chaining issues. All of this moving towards the same goal of better task monitoring/management within the QMC.

This is now possible in Qlik Cloud

This looks fantastic. Any plans to bring this to QlikSense for Windows?

Re: QMC Tasks: Tree view of task chain

Qlik Application Automation is a SaaS based feature set, no current plans to backport to the Windows environment

Thanks

@Ian_Crosland Are we really talking about the same thing here...?

I believe the (very valid) suggestion was about visualising how existing tasks are chained together. Maybe in a tree structure, maybe using some other visualisation type.

Qlik Application Automation is - as far as I understand - about setting up reload chains in Qlik SaaS. Some basic level of visual coding needed to do this. As much as I really like Qlik Automation, more programming skills are needed to set up task chaining there compared to older QV and QS products.
Not a problem per se, but it's not super trivial. The linked tutorial is very useful though!

But then again - we could really use a task visualisation built into good ol' on-premise Sense too...

Hi!

Check my solution and vote up the idea. Would like to have similar in the STD Reloads Monitors

Hi,

I'm supporting the idea of "Task Tree Visualisation" 110% in client-Managed Environments.

In case of Large Enterprise Environment I just cannot imagine how to migrate and recreate several hundred tasks with a lot of parallelism currently running in QlikView on multi node Publisher environment via existing QMC's task console.

I support development in cloud world but the large environments will stay on premise for a long(er) time and development of client-managed QlikSense should continue in order to be able to switch from QV to QS completely.
