topic Trigger a task from command line in QlikView

Trigger a task from command line

Mon, 29 Aug 2011 17:45:36 GMT

I have rewritten a bat file program which calls a vbscript program. It checks for certain conditions and then runs reload of a qvw using below code

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run("cmd.exe /c c:\Progra~1\QlikView\QV.exe /r " & c:\qvjob.qvw)

Is there a way to run already set task instead reloading the document?

The reason for needing to run the task is

i) This program would trigger the first task and a whole series of tasks would be triggerred one after other.

ii) It gives a visual way in QEMC as to which task is running.

Appreciate any hint or input to achieve this.

You can trigger a task using a couple of http posts as documented in section 27.5 "Triggering EDX Enabled Tasks" of the Qlikview Server Reference guide. You can download a VBS sample "RequestEDX" from http://robwunderlich.com/downloads/

Thanks for the response.

Actually I am looking for single line command line to replace this in my program.

this below command work great to just reload a qvw document , but I am looking similar one to trigger a task already set in QEMC

set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.Run("cmd.exe /c c:\Progra~1\QlikView\QV.exe /r " & c:\qvjob.qvw)

Did you download the RequestEDX and look at the doc? It is a single command line.

Honestly Rob - your downloads are the best! I've been an avid cookbook fan for nearly 2 years and now this RequestEDX is going to be so useful!

Thank you,

Jason

Hi Rob,

We have an issue to execute Qlikview reports through ETL (SSIS) after modifying the HTTP to HTTPS.

We are unable to update data with ETL with HTTPS ,getting issues. So, we want to run through any type of Command line.

So,please guide me how and where to download RequestEDX.

Thanks,

Kishore
