Scheduled Task run versus a Manual Task Run

is there a flag in the logs that can determine if a refresh in the QMC was done by the scheduled instance or the the refreshed was manually triggered??

Hi @trspaete,
The QlikView Distribution Service (QDS) Root log should have this information. I setup a task named Reload and Distribution of Test reload and manually ran it and also set up a schedule trigger.

For a manually run task from the QMC you should see an entry like:
20210730T085815.082-0400 Information Manual start for task "Reload and Distribution of Test reload" (c203c0ff-3b53-486c-915e-736e05da044d) requested.
20210730T085815.090-0400 Information ManualStartTrigger[00000001-0002-0003-0405-0607080a0b0c]: PlanToGoOff - Adding new TriggerState planned for 2021-07-30 08:58:15.089, Task="Reload and Distribution of Test reload", ExecID=0b06d4d5-e96d-4651-b50a-dbae5ee6ea54

For a scheduled task you should see an entry like:
20210730T090000.054-0400 Information TriggerState: Change State to Acknowledged. Task="Reload and Distribution of Test reload", ExecId=e6eec065-fc7f-483b-aa06-9516f8d99d95. DistributeTask[c203c0ff-3b53-486c-915e-736e05da044d] ("Reload and Distribution of Test reload"): TryStart - Task will be started now.
20210730T090000.149-0400 Information ScheduleTrigger[f85e0413-5625-4ea2-af33-ae63535427fc]: PlanToGoOff - Adding new TriggerState planned for 2021-08-06 09:00:00.000, Task="Reload and Distribution of Test reload", ExecID=3bf88496-6c64-41a4-90ca-9a24b5a7cd6b

The QDS Root log is by default in the %ProgramData%\QlikTech\DistributionService\1\Log directory and has a naming convention of Root_yyyymmdd.txt. If you have configured the QDS logs to be written in a different location, you can check QMC > System > Setup > Distribution Services > QDS@ > General tab > Application Data Folder, then look for the 1\Log directory. If you have a QDS cluster you will have 1\ 2\ 3\ etc. directories depending upon the number of QDS nodes.

Best Regards
