Is it possible to trigger the support task in Qlik Sense. For example on completion of application refresh, trigger the batch script to export apps and place it an specific folder

You cannot do it in QS QMC (unlike QlikView's QMC), but you can create a regular Qlik app and use an Execute command in the script to run your BAT file:

Execute ‒ Qlik Sense

Execute C:\Program Files\Office12\Excel.exe;

Execute lib://win\notepad.exe // win is a folder connection referring to c:\windows

There are some limitations with this approach:

This statement is not supported in standard mode. So You must run in legacy mode (applicable for Qlik Sense and Qlik Sense Desktop).....

If this is acceptable for you, you can trigger this app after your main application's refresh will be completed.

Yes, you can trigger a task on event base using the QRS API for Example.

Here the Endpoint

Task: Start asynchronous ‒ Qlik Sense

You you prefer a CLI interface to put in a BAT, you can useQlik-CLI
