Hi Chanty

Try this extension from the Qlik Branch site, which we've used to enable users to reload a published app manually:

http://branch.qlik.com/#!/project/56728f52d1e497241ae69836

It provides a button that you can add to your apps that reloads the data from one of the sheets, without the need to enter the Data Manager or access Tasks.

Qlik Sense Developer help introduces you to any customization and extension of the product.

Home ‒ Qlik Sense Developer

External execution of reload requires that you call the Qlik Sense Engine API. Perhaps take a look at Reload an app ‒ Qlik Sense‌ for an introduction how this would be done.

Thanx tony.

But wihout API"s Is it possible?

For  example  :  i have Html file  with  one button   so that wen user cliks on button the Qmc data should be relod and get new data.

Could you please suggest on this?

Qlik Sense is basically based on APIs. The QMC and Hub also run on the same APIs as you can find in the Developer Help.

For the trigger to work form a HTML page, you have to apply API calls through your button press. Just in the same way as reload button in QMC or Hub trigger the Engine API to reload the app.

Hi Michael Tarallo

Any suggestion from you?

Hi Chanty - what Chris and Toni have both mentioned is the same path I would take as well. The pre-built extension that Chris mentions will allow a business user to "manually" reload the app from within Analysis mode ( in other words, no need for a task to load it or developer to click reload in the data manager) - BUT I am not sure that is what you want as you mentioned a trigger? Do you need to ONLY perform the reload AFTER something happens such as an event, a new file is received etc? If so - you would still need some process to handle that.

If you want to see the reload button in action here is a quick example where I used it.

You can see an example here:

Thanks mto . as it working fine enough . but in server it not working.

yes what you mentioned is exactly correct.   i need the data should be reloaed and that updated  data should be appeared in  QMC.
