Scheduling a Task twice in a day

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

Hello, I have to schedule a reload of my document twice a day, once at 6am and once at 3pm. Is there a way to set daily scheduling with two distinct time?

PS: I can't do it hourly

Thanks in advance!

Marcello.

Hi Marcello,

My preferred method would be to have a control application running hourly. The only script this needs to run would be similar to this ...

if match(hour(now()),6,15) then

LET vResult='Fail';

LOAD nonExistantField resident nonExistantTable;

else

LET vResult='Success';

end if;

Now, set your actual document to run based on the control application failing. When the control application succeeds, nothing happens.

Hope this helps

Schedule two triggers one at 6am and other at 3pm.

Thank you flipside! Until server doesn't support this feature i'll try with your clever solution.

Thank you priyadarshini ,but i think i'm missing something. I can't figure out how to schedule two triggers for one document.

I'm running on qv server 10 (without publisher) and using QEMC.

You should be able to click on "+" to add new trigger. Let me know if you can
