Custom notifications

[User93]

Hi all,

I would like some advice on the following subject : right now we have this setup to both trigger externally a task and send custom notifications when everything is done :

1. When the data is refreshed, a file generated by Databricks is sent to the VM where Qlik Sense Enterprise is installed.

2. This trigger some tasks in the QMC, thanks to one task that checks every minute if the file is present in a local folder, and ends in success when it finds it.

3. The file also contains info (months refreshed, etc.) which is then loaded in the Qlik Sense App that sends the notification (via Web Connectors).

We're working on a way to optimise things, and not be dependent on a txt file. I've already read about ways to trigger externally a task (https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/Examples-Trigger-a-Qlik-Sense-task-externall... https://community.qlik.com/t5/Official-Support-Articles/How-to-create-an-external-program-task-in-Ql... https://community.qlik.com/t5/New-to-Qlik-Analytics/Trigger-Qliksense-task-based-on-external-event-l...), but I can't find a better way for the custom info and notification than with a file for Qlik to read on.

If anyone has suggestions on this subject, that would be very helpful.

Best regards,

Martin.

Hi @sureshkumar ,

Thanks for the reply, where do you recommend I post ? Qlik Application Automation ?

I have to choose between 8 choices.

Best regards,

Hi, maybe using capability API to set variables values, and use this varibles to store the notified values, then using doReload and doSave to reload the app with the notified values.

Thank you for your answer, I will check if it can get us an easier alternative.

Best regards,
