Create a Qlikview Task using QMSAPI

Is there a method without using C# and directly use QMSAPI and create a Qlikview Task.

something like this:

$hdrs = @{}
$hdrs.Add("SOAPACTION","http://ws.qliktech.com/QMS/12/2/IQMS2/GetServices")
$hdrs.Add("Content-Type", "text/xml;charset=utf-8")
$hdrs.Add('X-Service-Key',$serviceKey)

$body = @{}
$body = '<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<s:Body>
<GetServices xmlns="http://ws.qliktech.com/QMS/12/2/">
<serviceTypes>All</serviceTypes>
</GetServices>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>'

$res = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $url -Method Post -Body $body -UseDefaultCredential -Headers $hdrs

#Display result
$res.Content

The QlikView-CLI will allow you to do that in PowerShell. (Install-Module QlikView-CLI)

# This script connects to QlikView, retrieves source documents, allows the user to select documents, # and creates new document tasks for the selected documents with a general and reload task. $Connection = Connect-QlikView # Establishes a connection to the QlikView server $SourceDocuments = Get-QVSourceDocuments # Retrieves a list of source documents from the QlikView server $SelectedDocuments = $SourceDocuments | Out-GridView -OutputMode Multiple -Title "Select Documents to create task for:" # Displays a grid view for the user to select multiple documents foreach ($Document in $SelectedDocuments) { # Iterates over each selected document $TaskDescription = "Task for $($Document.Name), Created $([datetime]::Now.ToString('yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss'))" # Creates a task description with the document name and current timestamp $TaskName = "Task-$($Document.Name)" # Creates a task name based on the document name $NewTaskGeneral = New-QVTaskGeneral -Enabled $true -Taskdescription $TaskDescription -Taskname $TaskName # Creates a new general task with the specified description and name $NewTaskReload = New-QVTaskReload -Mode Full -Sectionaccessmode UseQDSAccount # Creates a new reload task with full mode and section access mode set to use QDS account $NewDocumentTask = New-QVDocumentTask -Document $Document -General $NewTaskGeneral -Reload $NewTaskReload -QDSID $Connection.QlikViewDistributionService[0].ID -Scope @([QlikView_CLI.QMSAPI.DocumentTaskScope]::General, [QlikView_CLI.QMSAPI.DocumentTaskScope]::Reload) # Creates a new document task with the specified document, general task, reload task, QDS ID, and scope Save-QVDocumentTask -Documenttask $NewDocumentTask # Saves the newly created document task }

Thanks for the reply Mark. Is this Qlikview-CLI is paid software we need to download or it will be there by default in Qlik Server?

It was created by Qlik Professional Services and released as open-source under the MIT license.

This is not an official Qlik product and is not covered by Qlik Support. However, paid support is available through a Professional Services engagement.
