QSense: How to run an external program in QMC?

Anonymous — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 18:19:17 GMT

I need to create a task in Qlik Management Console (QMC) that allows me to run an external program.

In the past,we had done it in QlikView Console:

We had created a task that execute a .BAT file ( Within this .BAT file there is an instruction to execute a VBScript program to download some files required by QlickView DATA tier)

Would you mind helping me to figure it out in QlikSense ?

We haven't found how to create a task to to run an external program.

AFAIK this isn't possible in Qlik Sense (yet).

But to know for sure, maybe you better post this question in an appropriate Qlik Sense forum? See: QlikCommunity Tip: How to move your discussion thread
