It is not possible directly from qlik ... the button must execute a batch files that reload the document.

You can fire a reload task using a batch file and EDX. Search the forum for EDX for more information.

YB,

I'm using this functionality(EDX) for all my Finance reports.

Please see the attachment .

Script side:

SET vEDXApplicationPath='Path where you qmsedx file is present\qmsedx.exe';

SET vEDXTaskname='Task name you created in QMC';

SET vEDXServer='Here mention Serviceslink/QMS/Service';

SET vEDXVerbosity=5;//

SET vEDXpi=2;

SET vEDXTimeout=60;

SET vEDXPassword = 'Mention Password';

SET vEDXParameters=' -task="$(vEDXTaskname)" -qms=$(vEDXServer) -verbosity=$(vEDXVerbosity) -pi=$(vEDXpi) -timeout=$(vEDXTimeout) -password="$(vEDXPassword)"';

After this check the properties of button in attachment.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks,

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the reply, I am guessing this should help.

Could you please tell me what does the qmsedx file contain and also what do I need to set in for vEDXServer?

Is it the server name?

YB,

We use QMSEDX.exe to trigger document re-loads from an external scheduler. You need to save and install this file to your QlikView server.

vEDXsServer is your QlikView server.

Thanks,
