Qlik Cloud auto-generated Consumption Report app fails to reload with error cannot access the local file system in current script mode

[Chip_Matejowsky]

After distributing the Consumption Report app from Qlik Cloud Administration > Settings, scheduled reloads of the app fail with the following error: 

Error: $(MUST_INCLUDE= [lib://snowflake_external_share:DataFiles/Capacity_Usage_Script_PROD.txt] cannot access the local file system in current script mode. Try including with LIB path.

Environment

• Qlik Cloud Analytics
• Qlik Talend Cloud

Resolution

The Consumption Report app isn't meant to be reloaded. The app should be distributed from Qlik Cloud Administration > Settings each day. Refer to Distributing detailed consumption reports for details:

Redistribute the app to obtain the most recent data. Apps stored on your tenant exist as separate instances and are not replaced by newer ones.

On the Talend side, refer to Distributing Data Capacity Reporting App for Talend Management Console for details on how to set up capacity reporting.

Cause

The Report Consumption app is meant to be distributed from Qlik Cloud Administration > Settings and not updated by a scheduled reload of the app.

Thanks @Chip_Matejowsky for the clarification. Though is there a way to automate this distribution to execute regularly and possibly to a nominated space?
