Sorry for the confusion,....I'm putting it in detail here... I have a windows .bat file, I want this to get run every 12 hrs. Can this be scheduled in qlikview QMC... by creating a qlikview app where this qlikview app should trigger this .bat file every 12 hrs...

thnx

John

you can use External Action: Launch

you probably have a batch file to run an MS Access file to prep your data before you Load in Qlikview.

Of course we all know, you could have done it in Task Scheduler, but you probably want to perform this in QMC so you can chain this task to run your QV file after batch file is performed.

Hi John,

You can schedule an external task, this will be either calling a batch or an exe file.

This way you can accomplish it.

thanks,

If you are familiar with Qlikview Triggers and Actions,

let's say you have a button to run your Batch File:

1. Go to Button Properties>> Action

2. Add Action >> Type: External ; Action: Launch

from here you can set your file/application to launch

If you can manage that, you can move your Action to Document Trigger by opening Document Properties (Ctrl+Shift+D). on Triggers Tab you will have 3 types of Event Trigger (Document Event,Field Event and Variable Event).

Hi John,

My Reply is purely QMC based.

Hi John,

you don't need to create a separate QV app to do this, there is an option in QMC for supporting tasks, from here you can schedule a bat file to run and make it part of dependency chain too.

hope that helps

John , the button needs to be clicked by someone right..only then it triggers the action.. I want this to be automatic...

we have On postreload option under the document event triggers....do you think this will do the job.....

Thnx Joe and Rajesh....I thought that this can be done only through Qlikview app...never know this can be done through Supporting tasks....which even reduced the burden of making qlikview..app...

Thanks very much guys...
