Hi All,

Not even able to create POST connection. Please guide.

Able to perform same from Postman,refer below.

POST /qrs/task/start/synchronous?name={task name}& Xrfkey=12345678qwerty21 HTTP/1.1
Host: Server:4242
X-Qlik-Xrfkey: 12345678qwerty21
X-Qlik-User:{ UserDirectory=XXXXX;UserId=XXXXX}
Content-Type: application/json
Connection: Keep-Alive
cache-control: no-cache,no-cache

hi @durgesh22 ,

You can convert this node js code to an exe file & place it in your qlik server.

when you want to run use the execute command.

Hi @durgesh22 You're for sure on the right path.

Create a POST request and put the headers listed above into Query Headers.

Make sure authentication is set to Anymous and use a client certificate previously exported out to authenticate against the QRS API as outlined here: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/connectors/Subsystems/REST_connector_help/Content/Connectors_REST/Create-REST-connection/Create-REST-connection.htm

That should do it!

Best

Bjorn

Thanks @Bjorn_Wedbratt

It worked after setting authentication is set to Anonymous.

Hi @ajaykakkar93

Is there a way to use the API calls from Qlik to check on the different reload task in QMC and get the information for Task scheduling for example which task are still to run or when they are going to run (future)

Regards.
