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 

I guess this list of triggers corresponds to your new external task.
so, this task executes everytime any of the other task finish (i cant see if the condition is that this previous task executes succesfully or not).

Also, i see SentEmail as trigger and if the task calls itself as a trigger, you may be doing a circular reload.

Best,

My powershell script is working as it should.  I had created External Program to link it or reference my PowerShell script.  I had attached the last schedule task chain to my (External Program) call Send e-mail me and it worked flawlessly.

With external program tasks, you can trigger external processes, such as scripts or .exe files. Task chaining is supported and you    cps-tester.co    can combine reload tasks ...External program tasks in Qlik Sense are simply another task type. With external program tasks, you can trigger external processes, ...External Tasks are stored details of tasks that are run as part of OEDQ Jobs, but which do not occur within the OEDQ application. An External Task may be either ...

Hello,

Have anyone tried and succeded to execute an external task (eg. a BAT file) that is located on a network path (using IP of course, not the mounted drive)?
I'm not able to trigger even a simple 'echo blabla > c:\temp\test.log'

The bat file works fine when double clicking or when placed on 'c' drive, but as soon as I place .bat on a network path it stop working. Any idea why?
All testing was made using the user running the QS services.

Thanks!
