Set the Distribution Node for Reload task via automated process

Hi,
We recently set-up a distribution cluster for our publisher in our Test environment in QMC. This is working fine. We can now see additional option for each Reload task under General -> Distribution Group Drop Down.

We have two Servers Server 1 and Server 2 Under Distribution Group (DG). We plan to use Server 1 for all our extraction and Server 2 for the presentation layer qvws.

Before we move this solution to Production environment we want to set/default the Distribution Group to Server 1 for all the existing Reload Tasks.

We have close to 50 tasks and we want to avoid the process of manually specifying the Distribution group for each task. We want to default/set it automatically in the beginning and then slowly work through all the reload tasks and specify the DG for all the tasks.

Hello @KN2024,

Bulk setting of Publisher Distribution Group isn't possible in the GUI. You may be able to accomplish your resolution programatically using the Qlik Management Service APIs.

Best Regards
