External Program Task

[wallace0834]

I am needing to create an External Program Task that will send automatic email when several schedule task chains have completed.  The e-mail is sent with the name of the task schedule the date and the body of task completed. I have already completed building the task called Send Email Message.  

I would appreciate any insight that you can provide to me.

Hi @wallace0834 

If what you need is to be able to create the task in Qlik Sense QMC and then trigger it, I think you need to upgrade to May2021. It introduce an option to call a .bat o powershell file when configuring the task

I started using it in feb2022 and works fine, don’t know how it works en may2021

Best,

Thanks.  We are using Qlik Sense May 2021 in a multi-node environment.

Hi @wallace0834 

Here you have an example

This one uses node to execute a .js file that makes copies of a template app. (Similar to qlikview publisher)

Hi @wallace0834 

you should be able to do so in may2021 version

in older versions wouldn’t be that easy but can be done using the API

But you got it !!!

what problem you are having?

[wallace0834]

When I execute the script in PowerShell, it works great.  When I created External Program and link it to a schedule task, it sends multiple e-mail instead of just one.  Could you please provide any suggestion on how to fix it?
