Qlik SaaS - Partial Reload vs. Full Reload

profilejamesbond — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 10:45:26 GMT

Hi,

I want to perform partial reload everyday and first date of each month I want to perform full reload.

In Qlik SaaS QMC, I see only one task can be scheduled at a time. So, I scheduled a task over the Qlik SaaS QMC with Partial Reload checkbox and it is always performing Partial Reload and never going for the Full Reload.

How to do it in Qlik SaaS? I see only one possibility to create a variable to check if it is 1st of the Month then go for the Full Reload otherwise perform Partial Reload.

Thanks

Hi @profilejamesbond,

I think you can create a Daily Reload Schedule for you application like this:

And a Qlik Application Automation to perform a Full Reload at the 1st day of the month

Note: I never used the Monthly Automation Schedule, it may not work as expected. If not, you can revert things: Use Automation to do the Daily Partial Reload and use the Reload Schedule Monthly to do the Full Reload.

Good morning!

The above from @mark is a perfectly valid solution.

Consider the following for this and other best practices.:

Suggested Best Practice: use Application Automation to chain reload tasks. See Task chaining for details.

Kind regards...
