Is it possible to automatically reload and update KPIs?

[ergustafsson]

Hi!

Trying out the Governed Metrics subscription feature which works great. Say we are loading from a database instead of an Excel file, that is updated regularly with new KPIs. We can automatically reload the Metrics Library app through the task in QMC, but can we automatically push out the new KPIs somehow? Or do we have to go through the GMS web interface to push them out?

Thanks in advance.

I think if your library app has a reload task assigned then you should set this to update daily. All other apps should then be updated if you have applied the custom properties to those apps.

This is because you have to specify the reload task in GMS Setup;

I believe it monitors this task and 'pushes' out the new library after the task completes.

@Erik, GMS is a REST api so you can set up a schedule to kick off a reload and update through a job in scheduler or some other scheduling solution of your choice.  You are not obligated to use the testpage. API docs: http://eapowertools.github.io/GovernedMetricsService/gmsapi/

So a call to https://senseHostname:gmsPort/masterlib/update/all is needed either in a new task or at the end of the Library refresh task?

Thanks for the replies. Yes, that is what I wonder too - any easy way to pull off the push of the APIs?
