Qlikview app to trigger qliksense

Say that both a qlikview app and a qliksense app read from the same qvd file (Tucan.qvd).

Is it possible to set up the qmc so that qlikview  triggers qliksense to read from the qvd file (Tucan.qvd) ONLY after qlikview is finished with it?

I think that is not possible but you can use a field flag generated by QlikView after reload and then QlikSense read only if the field flag is equal to 1, if is 0 do nothing (exit script).

Depending upon whether you are running the latest 12.30 track, you may have another option here, the new File Exists trigger in QlikView, such that you could go the other way around, once Sense is done with the QVD, you could have Sense create a file somewhere that would trigger the File Exists trigger in QlikView to fire that task that uses the same QVD, just be sure you remember to delete the file with another task after the reload! 🙂  

Here is the Help on that New Trigger:

Scroll down until you see the new trigger explanation.  You may have to play with things a bit for it to fall into place, but it is not too difficult, the key thing is doing the task to delete the file, other wise things will just continue to trigger! 🙂
