Identify the calling reload task

[Thomas23]

Hi,

I've created five reload tasks for an app in Qlik Cloud:
e.g. "15", "30", "45", "00" and "Triggered Reload".

Four of them start every 15 minutes, and one is automatically triggered when another app has been successfully loaded.

I can retrieve all reloads using the REST API. Each one has a "ReloadID," but I can't find any indication of which task triggered that reload.

How can I find out which reload was started by the triggered task?

Best regards,
Thomas

Hi @Thomas23 ,

I don't think Qlik Cloud records that - but I would check the Events API to make sure.

Since you look familiar with the REST APIs, and that you are using the REST APIs to reload your apps, you could pass a variable value through the POST Reloads - https://qlik.dev/apis/rest/reloads/#post-api-v1-reloads - to inject into your Reload Log the caller of the reload - example: TRACE App Caller ID $(vCalllerAppID);

This will record in the logs who call the reload process.

Another alternative is to use Qlik Automate to record that as well - Automate Logs, files, database, etc.

Hi @Thomas23 

Try the following:

powershell

[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12$h = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer <api key>" }
$appId = "<appid>"
$url = "https://<tenant>.us.qlikcloud.com/api/v1/reloads?appId=$appId&limit=100"
$all = @()
do {
    $r = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Headers $h
    $all += $r.data
    $url = if ($r.links.next) { "https://<tenant>.us.qlikcloud.com" + $r.links.next } else { $null }
} while ($url)
$all | Select-Object id, type, status, startTime, endTime | Format-Table -AutoSize

Check the reload type:

choreographer - event-triggered

scheduled - scheduled

manual - manual or via API

I hope that helps.
