NPrinting connection reloads before correspondent task

Hi,

Can be a simple question, but I want to understand if a connection (in this case is a Sense app) from a published report and task, is automaticaly reloaded (in the Sense server) uppon an execution of the correspondent task?

For example:

  1. On the Sense server, there's a daily task for the Sense application "Sales"
  2. On the NPrinting tool, there's a Publish Task named "SalesReport", which has the "Sales" as for connection;
  3. Once this NPrinting task is executed, the connection is also reloaded on the Sense server as the first thing? Or the NPrinting assumes the connection is already reloaded and it will use the values from this Sense application?

 

I'm using the following versions:

  • NPrinting: May 2021
  • Sense: February 2022


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

First of all May 2021 is out of support so I suggest you to plan an upgrade to a supported version.

Qlik NPrinting can't start an action, like run a data reload, on the Qlik Sense server. Qlik NPrinting asks for the needed data (with filters, etc) and places the data from Sense's answer into the report at the moment of its generation. 

Instead, if you want to trigger a Qlik NPrinting task from a Qlik Sense script you can refer to https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-NPrinting/How-to-use-Qlik-NPrinting-APIs-inside-a-Qlik-Sense-load... or to https://community.qlik.com/t5/Qlik-Sense-Documents/Distribute-NPrinting-reports-after-reloading-a-Ql... 

Best Regards,
