Alarm triggers to people (e-mail), is it possible?

Wed, 18 Sep 2013 14:41:42 GMT

Hey guys, Is it possible to have like some sort of trigger that every time that something happens (i.e. someone rates my service badly), an e-mail comes to me, so I'll be notified without me having to open the program everyday?

Have you had a look at ,NPrinting - Office, HTML and PDF QlikView Reports ?

In QlikView 11 you can set up alerts on a document, so if a particular condition is met you will be emailed.

In the tools menu, there's 'Alerts' and the 'Alerts Wizard' which may be able to help you

If you get Marcus's suggestion to work without 'having to open the program everyday' then I'd love to know as that could be of use to us.

Bill, thank you. Do you use it? I think this is amazing, I am sick of doing repetitive powerpoints, that's basically copy and paste from Qlikview.

I am going to present this solution to my director. Still, I would like to ask if there's some other way of doing it.

Thank you.

Bill, but if you schedule a reload every day by the server, shouldn't that work out too?

Yes that should work just fine.

Give it a go and see how you get on.

Yup, we use NPrinting here & I would highly recommend it.

There are various UK resellers, here is a link to one of them:

Bill, there is one option on Alert Wizard that tests the alert on the reload, so, this might work... I am here configuring right now, and I'll test it right away.

Hi, Julio.

Just to add to Bill's earlier comment. If your are looking to buy NPrinting, it is around £7k for the full Enterprise edition which compares favourably to the £21k for Publisher.

You can get a free 35 day trial licence for the Enterprise edition from QuickIntelligence so that you could demo this to your director.

Regards,

Neil

Marcus, I am not receiving the e-mail... Wonder why...

my condition is "avg(P3E_Scale)>3", and it's always >3... Does it need any other configuration, like, from which e-mail is it coming from, or something like that????

Have you got a server for mail relay and set up the SMTP settings in your QV Desktop?

I think it is in the User Preferences.

Re: Alarm triggers to people (e-mail), is it possible?

marcus_malinow — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 15:35:24 GMT

Yep, it's in user preferences, settings, mail

Re: Alarm triggers to people (e-mail), is it possible?

marcus_malinow — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 15:43:39 GMT

Actually, this might be the server email settings, which can be found in QMC, under System ... Setup ... Mail Server

Oh, I see, I see, I have to ask the IT department then to configure this for me... Thank you! I'll have to wait for that here.

I got your Alert Wizard method email working perfectly on manual reload from the QlikView Desktop..............

........ but not on a scheduled task reload via the Publisher.

The Mail Server settings in QMC, under System ... Setup ... Mail Server are all set up and it works ok sending out other emails such as when Publisher Tasks fail.

Any ideas / suggestions ?

Best Regards, Bill

marcus_malinow — Mon, 23 Sep 2013 15:08:24 GMT

Hi Bill,

my first thought would be about the security context. i.e. are you running QV Desktop as the same user as the QlikView Server?

Marcus

Hey Bill, sorry, the IT team here hasn't yet accomplished the configuration task. We need someone else to answer that for us.

Does anyone know how to make that happen????

Best Regards,

I have connected onto the QV server windows console with the same AD user that the QV Services run under and using the QV Desktop it pops out email ok.

But when the task is run to reload the qvw via Publisher it does not pop out anyemails.

Guys, I tried to work this out in the server, and it didn't work out. I asked the IT department and they opened a case in Qliktech. We were told that this feature works only on Desktop version
