Qlik Sense Task - Schedule Overlap

[mhmmd_srf]

Hi All,

I have one Qlik Sense task schedule every 5 mins.

For any reason , if one schedule runs for more than 5 mins and by that time next schedule time pass. What will happens in this scenario?

Thanks,

MS

I've created one app with this Sleep statement which pause the script, in this case for 1 hour.

Then i created a reload task which reload the app every 2 minutes to obtain an overlap:

And the result is this:

So, if the task is still running at next execution time, the next execution will be skipped to the next one.

The skip will repeated till the task finish.

At the next free reload slot the trigger will restart the data refresh of your app.

So this skip is without SLEEP function or with SLEEP function?

[micheledenardi]

If the application is reloading at "next execution" time, the trigger will be skipped, regardless the script you're executing.

So it does not have any relation with SLEEP function. If my code do not have any SLEEP function. Then also the skip will happen. Is my understanding correct?

You're right. 

I used Sleep function only as example.
