Task chain schedule

[PavelKas]

Hello,

I have a Task chain consisting of two app - App A and App B. App B should start after App A is sucessfully executed.

But I don't want the App A (and B) to start every hour. I want them to start, let'say, at 7 AM and at 2 PM. In script of App A I put an "IF" section where I check if Hour(Now()) = 7 AM or 2 PM. If 'yes', a normal execution of the app and the task chain goes on. If 'no', I call a sensless Load statement like "Load * From xjsodb4et"  and the App A fails stopping the task chain.

Is there a more elegant and direct solution?

Thanks

You can use a Custom schedule for the first app, see:

Thank you! Indeed it works!

But maybe you know how to fix it in earlier Qlik Sense releases?

I'm not aware of a more elegant general solution in earlier versions, though if you just need to run it twice daily, you could simply set up two separate once-a-day tasks at two different times.
