Button to trigger Reload of QVD Generator

ngulliver — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:12:56 GMT

Is it possible to have a button in a front end QV app that will trigger a reload of another document ( in this case a QVD Generator) ?

If so, how do you do it ?

As a bonus query, I've been asked if it is possible to also trigger a message to say that the reload has completed. Again, is this possible ?

Thanks,

Neil

You could try a Launch action, choose the qlikview executable as application, the document you want to reload as filename and /r as parameter. Mind, you won't be able to use Qlikview until it's done reloading your document. I don't think you can do this as a background job.

Hi, Gysbert.

Thanks for that. Because the script execution process appears on screen it also enables users to see when the other app has completed reload. So no need for a specific message to tell them.

Many thanks,

Neil.
