NPrinting Retry untill success

[lukaslpohl]

Hi,

we want to send a daily report. 

The task is time critical and depends on data from a reload task.

Currently we have a wait time between the reload task and the reporting.

The problem is that the reload task takes a varying time. Sometimes the report is too late.

At 08:15 data entry into the tables is finished 

At 08:16 a Qlik sense reload task runs

At 08: 20 we check whether the task ran successful by comparing the dates and execute the report

At 08:30 the report must be sent.

We considered retrying the condition several times. This could result in multiple reports.

Do you know a way to ensure that the report is sent only once?

Do you know a way to write data somewhere if the report is sent, so this data can be checked as a second condition for the report, effectively stopping a second report from being sent?

We greatly appreciate you help!

Kind Regards

Lukas

Hi Lukas,

I recommend you to create a new Qlik Sense app, use the rest connector in the script to trigger the publish task in NPrinting, and chain the reload of this app after the other QS app.
