Is it possible to pass parameter using tasks in publishers?

Hi,

I want to pass some restriction from the publisher itself and filter the data without actually changing the script.

Is it possible?

You can use variables, if that helps?

You can reduce data in the task either by bookmark or by specific fields and values :

Hi Jerry,

But can I pass the value to variable through publisher? so that depending on my passing value the data will get modified.

Hi loannis,

Can you please elaborate about "Reduce by bookmark" option?

You can set the value of a variable in your QV app through Publisher.

Try it on a test application.

If you create a bookmark in your application that selects specific data, then you can use that bookmark in the publisher to distribute based on that. See the image I sent you previously.

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for information.

Is it possible to define more than one variable for a single task?

I don't think so.

I pressed the Help button:

Parameter Name

The variable created in the QlikView script, which will be used in the script execution of the document.

Parameter Value

The value(s) that will be assigned to the variable in the Parameter Name field. The value(s) will be used to create the document. To use a sequence of data, enter the start and stop values separated with a '-' (dash). To separate single values or sequences, enter a ';' (semi-colon)."

I think you can store in parameter value a string (don't use dash and semicolon) and you can interpret that string in the load script to make more than one variable

example of parameter value

varA:100@varB:01012015@varC:1|2|3|4|5@varD:100000

varA 100

varB 01012015

varC 1 2 3 4 5

varD 100000

Hi Massimo,

That is helpful..................

do you know how can I access the "Parameter Name" in qlik view script?

Hi Massimo,

sorry............ I got it.

so you mean if I put a parameter name as vString

and value as varA:100@varB:01012015@varC:1|2|3|4|5@varD:100000

then using some conditions if I can separate those var A,B,C,D in the vString parameter............ it would be like passing more than one variable.............................

Thanks for the information..............
