Does anyone have a good solution that makes task scheduling easy? We need to include QC, QVD load dependencies in several application reloads. And the QVD are used in multiple different applications. As well as used in 2 different cloud platforms. We are looking for a tool that is also a no code type of scheduler. Does anyone have any recommendations?
At IPC Global we developed a robust Qlik Cloud Application that does that using Qlik REST APIs. We have implemented in many customers, and it works quite well. However, it is not 100% no-code and it has a linear reload process - thinking about this now, I believe we can turn it to run in parallel.....
One other interesting solution I did was to develop a small PowerShell Script - could be Python or other languages - that was integrated with JAMS Scheduler - https://www.jamsscheduler.com/ - an incredible and very flexible scheduler tool. Again, not 100% no-code.
I have also developed - this one for fun - a N8N - https://n8n.io/ - project that visually connects multiple Tasks, creating a visual chain. This one worked very well but the implementation was quite challenging - especially the Redis part.
While Qlik does not develop its own Task Scheduler with multiple dependencies, I believe will be hard to find a no-code ready to use solution for that. The Qlik API + Qlik Automation is quite powerful so, if you have some time and resources, I believe you can develop a solution that will cover your needs.
