Have you came across this ?

This task can be scheduled on completion of a task in QMC.

This one is for Qlikview. We had the same requirement in my previous organization where we used the approach to solve it. It was a while back and if i correctly remember this is the qvw we used for reference.
We had to change the url of Nprinting , the appname and it was up and running . Let me check if i find anything that can help you.

You can edit the script then well and good else you need to. Use the qvw for reference. Make sure you utilize the variable such that it can be used across apps.

if your connection is local then you need to refresh if qvp i dont think you should .

i guess the code itself will do refresh the connection if local

Actually, i have made the dependent task in QMC , and reloaded my dashboard, and after that NPrinting loader ran, but the refreshed chart did not come to email, old data came in my email . while in dashboard data got refreshed.
After that, i go to NPrinting connection and refreshed metadata again, and then ran Nprinting Task loaded app , then it send me correct information

Is your Nprinting connection local ? Is your dependent task runs the metadata as well ? If you are using a local connection meta data need to be reloaded before any task to update the data.

NPrinting & Qlikview are not from local, they all from Server.

I was asking about the local/qvp/cluster connection.

My connection for Qlikview document is something like below :

\\VSRIWQLKTESTFIL\QlikView\Backup\Agnivesh\Governance Prod Copy reload after making changes\Test.qvw

VSRIWQLKTESTFIL is my file server for QlikView

ohh sorry , now i got it , my connection is local

Re: How to use post /tasks/{taskId}/executions API

pradosh_thakur — Tue, 05 Feb 2019 09:56:34 GMT

please create a (qvp://your document's_qvp_path ) QVP connection and the metadata reload is not required. Looks like your connection is local . That's why the relaod.

In that case , my all qlikview files should be published (means they should come in user document) ?
What if i want to do with non published file ?

Re: How to use post /tasks/{taskId}/executions API

You need to reload the metadata for non published files/local connection, even if running manually from nprinting directly without apis. I can't open the reference qvw but with a few tweaking you can run the metadata before the task runs and task in qmc will not get successful until and unless task in nprinting is running .
