Create task on QV server/Publisher using cmd line arguments

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

Hello ,

Are there any API’s available.Which can be used to create tasks on QVS via command prompt. Currently I create tasks manually using the GUI of QVS.

Just like we have API’s to trigger tasks via cmd line .Plan is to be able to create task/jobs on the server remotely without having to login into the QV server.

Does anyone has access to document that explains the procedure step by step from start to finish.

In short I'm looking for QMS API's to create reload tasks on the publisher , steps on how to implement them.

Swarup i don't know any kind of API what you're writting about. May be some one helps us to find it

But you can emulate reload engine by creating reload file with *.bat extention.

Put inside file some commands like below:

REM ================================================

REM ANY COMMENTS

REM QliikViewPath - it's the root catalogue where is the qv.exe placed

REM ================================================

Set QliikViewPath=D:\PROGRAMS\QlikView

"%QliikViewPath%\qv.exe" /r "..\Apps\Extractor.qvw"

"%QliikViewPath%\qv.exe" /r "..\Apps\Transformer.qvw"

"%QliikViewPath%\qv.exe" /r "..\Apps\Model.qvw"

"%QliikViewPath%\qv.exe" /r "..\Apps\Apps.qvw"

Hope it helps

This will only cause a reload of the qvw instead of actually creating a task correct?
