Trigger an external command once a Task has completed.

[simonB2020]

I am looking to trigger onward processes once a Full Load task has completed.
I found the mentioned link below back from 2021 - so just interested if functionality had changed since then, or indeed if anything is on the road map.

Thanks

Hi Simon,

I think the same suggestions from that post you found still stands today.

The best choice here is the QEM API, create a script that calls the getTaskDetails endpoint every set amount of time.

 if the property 'full_load_completed' is true in the endpoints response, you can call one of the other API endpoints according to your needs.

If you don't want to deal with this on the coding level, you could also leverage the 'Qlik Enterprise Manager' connector in Qlik Cloud Application which is one of the modules in Qlik Cloud that helps you build automations via API blocks (hiding the code part behind them).

The previous post lists triggering an email.  You can also trigger an entry into the server's Windows Event Log.  From there you can execute any number of tasks based on the On-event trigger.  We use this method to raise Service Now tickets for task/system failures.
