QRS API for enabling/disabling tasks

covenant_bi — Wed, 15 Jul 2020 11:29:43 GMT

Is there a way to write a call using QRS API to disable/enable tasks in QMC? For example, if you had a source system upgrade and you wanted to disable certain tasks from running while the source system was reloading data? I checked the documentation and didn't see anything related to that specifically, more start/stop vs enable/disable.

Hey @covenant_bi ,

There is an enabled element of a reloadtask. So for example take this reload task (I will be truncating elements of the response):

{ "id": "4b6e407f-7264-4740-883f-acfe7632c115", "createdDate": "2019-01-25T14:38:29.58Z", "modifiedDate": "2020-06-25T10:23:31.055Z", "modifiedByUserName": "...", "customProperties": [], "app": { "id": "dc3c4cdc-2fe7-48fb-b080-8ee5c08cc1f3", "name": "PostgreSQL Monitoring", ..., "isManuallyTriggered": false, "operational": { ..., "name": "Reload task of PostgreSQL Monitoring", "taskType": 0, "enabled": true, "taskSessionTimeout": 1440, "maxRetries": 0, "tags": [], "privileges": null, "schemaPath": "ReloadTask" }

So if you do a GET /qrs/reloadtask/{id} and modify the enabled element then do a PUT /qrs/reloadtask/{id} then that should handle the scenario.

Inside of Qlik-CLI it can be done like so (with just an example filter):

(Get-QlikReloadTask -Filter "app.stream.name eq 'Monitoring Apps'").id | ForEach-Object {Update-QlikReloadTask -id $_ -Enabled $false}

Cheers

Levi, thanks. That worked well. I tested it out successfully as a proof of concept. Now to operationalize it. Thanks again.
